Brake light switches
The brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever, should
come on just before braking takes ef-

brake light switch should be adjusted
by a Yamaha dealer.
Turn the rear brake light switch adjust-
ing nut while holding the rear brake light
switch in place. To make the brake light
come on earlier, turn the adjusting nut
in direction (a). To make the brake light
come on later, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (b).

check the wear indicator grooves. If a
brake pad has worn to the point that a
wear indicator groove almost appears,
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.

the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that a wear
indicator groove almost appears, have
