Brakes
The front brake lever activates the front brake calipers. The
rear brake pedal activates the rear brake caliper. For
maximum brake effectiveness, apply the front brake lever
and the rear brake pedal together.
Front Brake Lever
The front brake lever is
located on the right
handlebar. This lever controls
only the front brakes. The front
brakes should be applied
simultaneously with the rear
brakes. To apply the front
brake, pull the lever toward
the handlebar. See page 84 for braking procedures.
Front brake lever reach (distance to the hand grip) is
adjustable.
1. Gently push and hold the lever away from the hand grip.
The adjuster wheel is located between the lever and the
switch cube.
2. To increase reach distance, rotate the adjuster to align a
lower number of hash marks with the pin.
3. To decrease the reach distance, rotate the adjuster to
align a higher number of hash marks with the pin.
4. Make sure the pin is fully seated into the selected hole.
Rear Brake Pedal
The rear brake pedal is located
on the right side of the
motorcycle. Press downward
on the rear brake pedal to
apply the rear brake.
WARNING! Resting your foot on
the brake pedal will cause
excessive and premature wear of
brake pads and reduced braking
efficiency, which could result in
severe injury or death.
See page 84 for braking
procedures.
