Valve clearance
The valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper air-fuel mix-
ture and/or engine noise. To prevent
this from occurring, the valve clearan-
ce must be adjusted by a Yamaha
dealer at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.

when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly 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.
EAU22721
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the TIP after the periodic maintenan-
ce and lubrication chart. In addition,
have the oil seals of the brake master
cylinder and caliper as well as the
brake hose replaced at the intervals
listed below or whenever they are
damaged or leaking.
●Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
●Brake hose: Replace every four
years.
EAU23101
Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables
should be checked before each ride,
and the cables and cable ends should
be lubricated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or repla-
ce it. WARNING! Damage to the
outer sheath may interfere with
proper cable operation and will
cause the inner cable to rust.
Replace a damaged cable as soon
as possible to prevent unsafe con-
ditions.
