Brake light switches

The brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever, should
come on just before braking takes ef-
fect. Since the brake light switches are
components of the cruise control sys-
tem, they must be adjusted by a
Yamaha dealer, who has the neces-
sary professional knowledge and expe-
rience.
