Checking the front and rear brake pads
The front and rear brake pads must be checked for
wear at the intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. Each brake pad is
provided with two wear indicator grooves, which al-
low you to check the brake pad wear without hav-
ing to disassemble the brake. To check the brake
pad wear, check the wear indicator grooves. If a
brake pad has worn to the point that a wear indica-
tor groove almost appears, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
TIP
The wheels need to be removed to check the
brake pads. (See page 8-51.)
