3. Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking
out of the pipe joints or master cylinder.
Apply the brakes firmly for one minute. If
there is any leaking, have the machine in-
spected by a Yamaha dealer.
4. Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after start-
ing out to make sure they are working

ride. Do not ride the ATV if you find any prob-
lem with the brakes or you could lose braking
ability, which could lead to an accident. If a
problem cannot be corrected by the adjust-
ment procedures provided in this manual,
have the ATV inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
