BRAKE LEVER INSTALLATION
| 1. | See the Figure 1 and the FRONT BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER section of the service manual. Remove the retaining ring (4) from the groove in the pivot pin and discard retaining ring. | |
| 2. | Remove the pivot pin and discard along with the original equipment brake lever and pivot lever bushing. NOTE New levers come with the pivot lever bushing installed. Follow the instructions in Steps 3 and 4 carefully in order to prevent the actuating tab on the brake lever from damaging the rubber boot and plunger of the front stoplight switch. | |
| 3. | Gently press and hold the piston cap (A) forward with a screwdriver. Slip the brake lever into position and align the pivot pin holes. | |
| 4. | Install the pivot pin and new retaining ring (4) from kit. | |
| 5. | Check the front brake for proper operation. There should be no free play in the hand lever. A slight preload is permissible. | |
| WARNING A plugged or covered relief port can cause brake drag or lock-up, which could lead to loss of control, resulting in death or serious injury. (00288a) | ||
| 6. | To verify proper operation of the master-cylinder relief port, actuate the brake lever with the reservoir cover and gasket removed. A slight spurt of fluid will break the surface if internal components are working properly. | |
| 7. | Install the master cylinder cover. | |
| WARNING Be sure that all lights and switches operate properly before operating motorcycle. Low visibility of rider can result in death or serious injury. (00316a) | ||
| 8. | Check that the stop light goes on when the brake lever is actuated. |
