General Information
Brake and Clutch Lever
Adjuster
1 Lever
2 Adjuster wheel
3 Triangular mark
An adjuster is fitted to the front brake
and clutch levers. The adjusters
allow the distance from the handlebar
to the levers to be changed to one of
four positions, to suit the span of the
operator's hands.
To adjust the levers, push each lever
forward and turn the adjuster wheel
to align one of the numbered
positions with the triangular mark on
the lever holder.
The distance from the handlebar grip
to the released lever is shortest when
set to number four and longest when
set to number one.
Warning
For reasons of security and safety,
always move the ignition switch to
the ’LOCK' or ’P’ position and
remove the key, when leaving the
motorcycle unattended.
Any unauthorised use of the
motorcycle may cause injury to the
rider, other road users and
pedestrians and may also cause
damage to the motorcycle.
Warning
With the key in the ’LOCK' or ’P'
position the steering will become
locked.
Never turn the key to the ’Lock' or
’P' positions while the motorcycle is
moving as this will cause the
steering to lock. Locked steering
will cause loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
