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 minimum level mark and replenish
when necessary.
Observe these precautions:

When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the master cylinder is level by turning the
handlebars.


Use only the designated quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor brake performance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction
and lead to poor brake 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 re-
sult in vapor lock.


Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately.


Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if the
brake fluid level goes down.
