MYSTERIOUS ADJUSTMENT DIAL on ’97 K1100LT

I've discovered an adjustment 'dial' marked with settings 1 – 4 adjacent to the RH handlebar brake lever.  What's it for ? – I can find no reference in my “Rider's Handbook” nor in Clymer “Service – Repair – Mtnce”.  It's been set at #1 since I've had the bike (nearly four years). ??? ::)

Is it for adjusting the brake lever travel ?

That would be my guess as well.

Its to adjust the distance the lever is away from the hand grip the travel should be the same at all settings ( big hands/small hands )boGSer

Aaa..h.  Many thanks guys.  I'll have a fiddle with that adjustment when I've got the calipers back on the front end (after Alex teach me how to pull the forks apart to renew oil seals – your help very much appreciated, Alex!  ;D ).
