(4 settings available) to suit the rider hand size. To de-
crease the lever distance from the handgrip, turn the
adjuster (B) CLOCKWISE. To increase the lever distance
from the handgrip, turn the adjuster (B) COUNTER
CLOCKWISE. On the RS models the adjuster (2), located
on the control lever, allows adjusting of the free play (a).
Free play (a) must be at least 0.1 in.

The level of the fluid in master cylinder reservoir
must never be below the minimum value (1), which
can be checked from the window on the rear side of
the master cylinder body (RS). For (SM) model, check
the level on the clear reservoir.
A decrease of the fluid level will let air into the sys-
tem, hence an extension of the lever stroke.
WARNING*: If the brake lever feels mushy
when pulled, there may be air in the brake
lines or the brake may be defective. Since it is
