Checking the brake pedal
Have a Yamaha dealer check the brakes at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. There should be no free play in
the brake pedal. The brakes should operate
smoothly and there should be no brake drag. If the
brakes feel soft or spongy, this could indicate air in
the brake system. Have a Yamaha dealer check
the brake system if necessary.
