The brake fluid reservoir is located under the
hood. (See pages 8-17–8-19 for hood opening
and closing procedures.)
Observe these precautions:

When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.


Use only the recommended quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor braking perfor-
mance.


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 brake
fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
Inspect cables frequently and replace if dam-
aged. Corrosion can result when the outer cov-
ering of control cables becomes damaged.
Cables can also become frayed or kinked. Op-
eration of controls could be restricted, which
could cause an accident or injury.Lubricate the inner cables and the cable ends. If
the cables do not operate smoothly, ask a Yamaha
dealer to replace them.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil

CAUTION:
In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the en-
gine oil also lubricates the clutch), do not mix any
chemical additives. Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of a higher quality
than specified. In addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
