Front and rear brakes
1. Brake levers and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the rear brake
lever and that there is no free play in the front
brake lever. If the free play is incorrect, adjust
it. (See pages 8-99 ~ 8-103.)
Check the operation of the levers and pedal.
They should move smoothly and there
should be a firm feeling when the brakes are
applied. If not, have the machine inspected
by a Yamaha dealer.
2. Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-93 ~
8-97.)
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 inspected by a
Yamaha dealer. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

Inspecting the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the brake
system, possibly causing the brakes to become in-
effective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above
the lower level and replenish when necessary. The
rear brake fluid master cylinder reservoir is located
behind panel B. (See page 8-21 for panel removal
and installation procedures.)
Observe these precautions:
1. When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the master cylinder reservoir is level by
turning the handlebars.
2. Use only the designated quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor brake perfor-
mance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

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

Brake fluid replacement
1. Complete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
2. Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.

Replace all rubber seals every two years.


Replace all hoses every four years.
