6 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.
EAU03976
Changing the brake fluidBrake fluid, changingHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the NOTE after the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, have the oil seals of the master
cylinders and calipers as well as the
brake hoses replaced at the intervals
listed below or whenever they are
damaged or leaking.
8Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
8Brake hoses: Replace every four
years.

Checking and lubricating the
cablesCables, checking and lubricatingThe operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables
should be checked before each ride,
and the cables and cable ends
should be lubricated if necessary. If a
cable is damaged or does not move
smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer
check or replace it.
EW000112
wDamage to the outer sheath may
interfere with proper cable opera-
tion and will cause the inner cable
to rust. Replace a damaged cable
as soon as possible to prevent
unsafe conditions.
Recommended lubricant:

cC8Always keep the battery
charged. Storing a discharged
battery can cause permanent
battery damage.
8To charge a sealed-type (MF)
battery, a special (constant-
voltage) battery charger is
required. Using a conventional
battery charger will damage
the battery. If you do not have
access to a sealed-type (MF)
battery charger, have a
Yamaha dealer charge your
battery.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and
then install a new fuse of the
specified amperage.
EC000103
cCDo not use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than recommend-
ed to avoid causing extensive
damage to the electrical system
and possibly a fire.3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuit in question to
check if the device operates. Specified fuses:
Main fuse: 30 A
Backup fuse (clock): 10 A
Radiator fan fuse: 4 A
Ignition fuse: 7.5 A
Headlight fuse: 15 A
Signaling system fuse: 15 A
