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.


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


Have a Yamaha dealer inspect the brake sys-
tem if the brake fluid level goes down.
