EAU00720Checking the front brake
pads and rear brake shoes
EAU01119
Front brake
Wear indicator grooves are provid-
ed on each brake pad. These indi-
cators allow checking of brake pad
wear without disassembling the
brake. Inspect the grooves. If they
have almost disappeared, ask a
Yamaha dealer to replace the pads.
1. Indicator grooves
EAU00727
Rear brake

wear indicator.
If the indicator reaches the wear
limit line, ask a Yamaha dealer to
replace the shoes.

EAU00732Inspecting the brake fluid
level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air
enter the brake system, possibly
causing the brakes to become inef-
fective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level
and fill when necessary.
Observe these precautions:
8When checking the fluid level,
make sure the top of the mas-
ter cylinder is level by turning
the handlebars.
