Adjusting the rear brake lever free play
The brake lever free play must be checked and, if
necessary, adjusted at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.
NOTE:
Before adjusting the brake lever free play, check
the rear brake shoes for wear.
The brake lever free play should measure 5.0–8.0
mm (0.20–0.31 in) as shown. If the free play is in-
correct, adjust it as follows.
Turn the brake lever free play adjusting nut on the
rear wheel hub in direction (a) to increase the free
play, and in direction (b) to decrease it.
If the correct free play cannot be obtained, have a
Yamaha dealer adjust it.
