other qualified mechanic for immediate repairs. Such
leakage could indicate a hazardous condition.
CAUTION:
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic
parts. Never spill any fluid. If spilled, clean it up
immediately.

1. Oil level measurement
a. Place the motorcycle on a level place and hold it in an
upright position. Warm up the engine for several
minutes.
NOTE:
Be sure the motorcycle is positioned straight up when
checking the oil level. A slight tilt toward the side can result
in false readings.
b. With the engine stopped, with the engine stopped,
unscrew the oil filler cap/ dispstick and rest it on the
threads of the ok.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles before checking.
c. remove the oil filler cap/ dispstick, clean it with a dry
cloth and check the oil level.
NOTE:
To check the oil level the oil filler cap/ dispstick can not be
screwed, just lightly seated in place.
d. The oil level should be between the maximum and
minimum marks. If the level is low, add oil to raise it to
the indicated level, check for oil leakage. Engine oil

f. Start the engine and warm up for a few minutes. While
warming up, check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found,
stop the engine immediately, and check for the cause.
g. Stop the engine and check the oil level.
CAUTION:
Be sure no foreign material enters the crankcase.
CAUTION:
Do not put in any chemical additives. Engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and additives could cause clutch
slippage.
After replacing the engine oil, be sure to check the oil
pressure.

may result in a harmful reaction and lead to poor brake
performance.
4. 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.
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.1. Complete fluid replacement should be done only by
trained service personnel.
2. Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or when they
are damaged or leaking.
a. Replace all rubber seals every two years.
b. Replace all hoses every four years. Brake fluid replacement
