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:
1. Wear indicator groove (´ 3)Front
