Ducati MONSTER 696 User Manual

Front brake lever
Pull in the lever (2) towards the twistgrip to operate
the front brake. The system is hydraulically operated
and you just need to pull the lever gently.
The control lever has a knob (3) for adjusting the
distance between lever and twistgrip on the
handlebar.
To adjust it, keep lever (2) fully extended, and turn
knob (3), turning it in correspondence of one of the
four foreseen positions. Keep in mind that position
no. 1 corresponds to the maximum distance between
the lever and the twistgrip, whereas position no. 4
corresponds to the minimum distance.
Warning
Before using these controls, read the
instructions in "Moving off".
Warning
The front brake lever must be adjusted when
the motorcycle is stationary.
