2009 YAMAHA XMAX 125 oil level

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.

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.

ground and distract the operator,
resulting in a possible loss of con-
trol.

Checking the front fork
The condition and operation of the
front fork must be checked as follows
at the intervals specified in the perio-
dic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the condition
1. Check the inner tubes for scrat-
ches, damage and excessive oil
leakage.
To check the operation
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. WARNING! To avoid injury,
securely support the vehicle so
there is no danger of it falling
over.
[EWA10751]
2. While applying the front brake,
push down hard on the handle-
bars several times to check if the
front fork compresses and
rebounds smoothly.
