Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor is an important part of
the engine and requires very
sophisticated adjustment. Therefore, all
carburetor adjustments should be left
to a Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowledge and
experience.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
6Observe these precautions:
•When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
master cylinder is level by turning
the handlebars.
•Use only the recommended
quality brake fluid, otherwise the
rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
NOTE :
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be
used.
•Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performance.
•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.
•Brake fluid may deteriorate
painted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
•As 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.

Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. In addition, have the
brake hoses replaced every four years
or whenever there are damaged or
leaking.
