brake fluid level of the master cylinder and clutch release cylinder regularly and fill as required.
• Replace the oil seals on the inner parts of the master cylinder, caliper and clutch release cylinder every two years.
• Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years or if cracked or damaged.

7 Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating
the motorcycle. If center tread depth
reaches the limit as shown, if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the side wall is cracked, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately and have
the tire replaced.
EW000079
WARNING
@ Operating the motorcycle with ex-
cessively worn tires decrease riding
stability and can lead to loss of con-
trol. Have excessively worn tires re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer
immediately. Brakes, tires, and relat-
ed wheel parts replacement should
be left to a Yamaha Service Techni-
cian. @CE-26ENOTE:@ These limits may be different by regula-
tion from country to country. If so, con-
form to the limits specified by the
regulations of your own country. @

Front brake lever free play
adjustmentThe free play at the front brake lever
should be 2 ~ 5 mm.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting bolt in
direction
a to increase free play
or in direction
b to decrease free
play.
3. After adjusting, tighten the locknut.
EW000099
WARNING
@ l
Check the brake lever free play.
Be sure the brake is working
properly.
l
A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the
presence of air in the brake sys-
tem. This air must be removed
by bleeding the brake system
before the motorcycle is operat-
ed. Air in the system will cause
greatly diminished braking ca-
pability and can result in loss of
control and an accident. Have a
Yamaha dealer inspect and
bleed the system if necessary.

WARNING
@ A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the brake system. This air
must be removed by bleeding the
brake system before the motorcycle
is operated. Air in the system will
cause greatly diminished braking
capability and can result in loss of
control and an accident. Have a
Yamaha dealer inspect and bleed
the system if necessary. @
EAU01799
Brake light switch adjustmentThe rear brake light switch is activated
by the brake pedal and is properly ad-
justed when the brake light comes on
just before braking takes effect. Since
the brake light switch is a component of
the cruise control system, adjustment
should be made by a Yamaha dealer.

Checking the front and rear
brake pads
EAU01119
Front brake
Wear indicator grooves are provided
on each brake pad. These indicators
allow checking of brake pad wear with-
out disassembling the brake. Inspect
the grooves. If they have almost disap-
peared, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place the pads.
EAU01198
Rear brake
A wear indicator groove is provided on
each brake pad. This indicator allows
checking of brake pad wear without
disassembling the brake. Inspect the
groove. If the groove has almost disap-
peared, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place the pads.
EAU01800
Inspecting the brake fluid
levelInsufficient brake fluid may let air enter
the brake or clutch system, possibly
causing them to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level and fill
when necessary. Low brake fluid levels
may indicate worn brake pads and/or
brake system leakage. If the brake lev-
el is low, be sure to inspect the brake
pads for wear or brake system for leak-
age.
Observe these precautions:

l
When checking the fluid level,
make sure the top of the master
cylinder is level by turning the han-
dlebars.
l
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake or clutch
performance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake or clutch perfor-
mance.
l
Be careful that water does not en-
ter the master cylinder when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
l
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
l
Have a Yamaha dealer check the
cause if the brake fluid level goes
down.
EAU00742
Brake fluid replacementThe brake fluid should be replaced only
by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have the Yamaha dealer replace the
following components during periodic
maintenance or when they are dam-
aged or leaking:l
oil seals (every two years)
l
brake hoses (every four years)
