Checking the front and rear
brake padsThe front and rear brake pads must
be checked for wear at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.

1.Wear indicator REAR
EAU00728
Rear brake pads
Each rear brake pad is provided with
a wear indicator, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without
having to disassemble the brake. To
check the brake pad wear, check the
position of the wear indicator while
applying the brake. If a brake pad
has worn to the point that the wear
indicator almost touches the brake
disc, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake pads as a set.
EAU00725
Front brake pads
Each front brake pad is provided with
a wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear
without having to disassemble the
brake. To check the brake pad wear,
check the wear indicator groove. If a
brake pad has worn to the point that
the wear indicator groove has almost
disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.

Checking the brake fluid
levelInsufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system
leakage. If the brake level is low, be
sure to check the brake pads for
wear and the brake system for leak-
age.

8Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking perfor-
mance.
8Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if
the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.

8When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
brake fluid reservoir is level.
8Use only the recommended qual-
ity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, caus-
ing leakage and poor braking
performance.REARRecommended brake fluid:

To install the front wheel
1.Install the speedometer gear unit
into the wheel hub so that the
projections mesh with the slots.
2.Lift the wheel up between the
fork legs.NOTE:
Make sure that there is enough
space between the brake pads
before inserting the brake disc and
that the slot in the speedometer gear
unit fits over the retainer on the fork

left-hand side, install the axle
nut, and then lower the rear
wheel so that it is on the ground.

Make sure that there is enough
space between the brake pads
before inserting the brake disc
between the brake pads.4.Adjust the drive chain slack.
