Adjusting the front brake lever position
To adjust the front brake lever position on the han-
dlebar, loosen the clamp bolts and rotate the brake
lever to the desired position. Tighten the bolts to 5.0
lbf•ft (6.8 N•m) when finished. Tighten the upper bolt
to the specified torque, then tighten the lower bolt.
Front brake lever lubrication
1. Place the vehicle on a stand.
2. Remove the rubber cover from the brake lever.
3. Remove the nut (1), pivot bolt (2), and brake
lever (3).
4. Spray all the parts with a water-displacement
chemical, wipe them off, and dry them thor-
oughly.
5. Install the brake lever, and apply a light coat of
high quality waterproof grease onto the pivot
bolt.
NOTE :
Only apply a light coat of grease so it does not
attract a lot of dirt and debris.
6. Install the pivot bolt and tighten the nut securely.
7. Install the rubber boot over the brake lever.
FOOTPEGS
The right and left footpegs on your vehicle should be
fastened securely and free of any collected mud or
dirt. The footpegs should move freely (up and down
on the pivot) and not bind - springing back when
released.
NOTE :
After cleaning, lubricate the footpeg pivot points
with clean engine oil. Move the pegs up and down
to work the lubricant in.
Don’t use grease; grease will catch and collect dirt
and small particles which will damage the pivot
point. Make sure the teeth are in good condition
