Front and rear brake pad inspection
Each brake pad is provided with a wear indica-
tor. The indicators allow checking of brake pad
wear without disassembling the brake. Apply
the brake and inspect the wear indicators. If
they are ALMOST in contact with the disc
plate, ask a Yamaha dealer to replace the pads.

Inspecting the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes to
become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the lower level and replenish when nec-
essary.
Observe these precautions:
1. When checking the fluid level, make sure
the top of the master cylinder is level by
turning the handlebars.
2. Use only the designated quality brake flu-
id. Otherwise, the rubber seals may dete-
riorate, causing leakage and poor brake
performance.NOTE:If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be used.Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction and lead to poor brake
performance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean up
spilled fluid immediately.
6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.

spin the rear wheels. Check to make sure there
is no brake drag. If brake drag is noticed, per-form the adjustment again.
