After repairing or replacing the
rear tire, tighten the valve stem nut
and locknut to the specified
torque.

Clutch lever free play
adjustmentThis motorcycle has a hydraulic clutch.
There are no adjustments to perform
but the clutch system must be inspect-
ed periodically for proper fluid level and
leakage. If the control lever free play
becomes excessive and the motor-
cycle creeps or stalls when shifted into
gear, or if the clutch slips, causing ac-
celeration to lag behind engine speed,
there is probably air in the clutch sys-
tem and it must be bled out. Ask a
Yamaha dealer to do this service. Tightening torque:
Valve stem nut:
1.6 Nm (0.16 m·kg)
Valve stem locknut:

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)

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which
will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
