TIP
●Replace the air filter element more frequently if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
●Hydraulic brake service
●Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
●Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder, and change the brake fluid.
●Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly caus-
ing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake flu-
id is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary.
A low brake fluid level may indicate
worn brake pads and/or brake system
leakage. If the brake fluid level is low,
be sure to check the brake pads for
wear and the brake system for leak-
age.
Observe these precautions:
●When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
brake fluid reservoir is level.
●Use only the recommended qual-
ity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, caus-
ing leakage and poor braking
performance.
●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 en-
ter the brake fluid reservoir when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
●Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid imme-
diately.
●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.
Recommended brake fluid:

Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the TIP after the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have
the oil seals of the master cylinders
and calipers as well as the brake
hoses replaced at the intervals listed
below or whenever they are damaged
or leaking.
●Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
●Brake hoses: Replace every four
years.
EAU22760
Drive chain slack
The drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU22783
To check the drive chain slack
1. Drive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the side-
stand.
TIP
When checking and adjusting the dri-
ve chain slack, there should be no
weight on the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.
3. Move the rear wheel by pushing
the motorcycle to locate the tight-
est portion of the drive chain, and
then measure the drive chain
slack as shown.
4. If the drive chain slack is incor-
rect, adjust it as follows.
TIP
When checking the drive chain slack,
the chain tensioner should not be
touching the drive chain.
Drive chain slack:
50.0-60.0 mm (1.96-2.36 in)
