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.
