Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed
instead.
From 30000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.

WARNING
If proper adjustment cannot be
obtained as described, have a
Yamaha dealer make this adjust-
ment.
EAU22380
Checking the front brake
pads and rear brake shoes
The front brake pads and the rear bra-
ke shoes must be checked for wear at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
EAU22430
Front brake pads
1. Wear indicator
2. Front brake disc
(a). Wearing limit: 0,8 mm.
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicator grooves, which allow
you to check the brake pad wear wit-
hout having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator grooves. If a brakepad has worn to the point that the
wear indicator grooves have almost
disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
EAU22540
Rear brake shoes
1. Wear indicator
2. Limit of wear
The rear brake is provided with a wear
indicator, which allows you to check
the brake shoe wear without having to
disassemble the brake. To check the
brake shoe wear, check the position
of the wear indicator while applying
the brake. If a brake shoe has worn to
the point that the wear indicator rea-
ches the wear limit line, have a Yama-
ha dealer replace the brake shoes as
a set.

EAU32343
Checking the front brake
fluid level
1. Minimum level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.Observe 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 qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performan-
ce.
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 pain-
ted 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.
EAU22720
Changing the brake fluid
Have 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 brake
master cylinder and caliper as well as
the brake hose replaced at the inter-
vals listed below or whenever they are
damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake hose: Replace every four
years.
EAU23100
Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables
should be checked before each ride,
