TIP
Engine air filter and V-belt air filters
• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned
with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter elements need to be serviced more fre-
quently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake
fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the bra-
ke fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

EWA10511
Never overload your vehicle. Ope-
ration of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
Tire inspection
1. Tire tread depth
2. Tire sidewall
The tires must be checked before
each ride. If the center tread depth
reaches the specified limit, if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the sidewall is cracked, have a Yama-
ha dealer replace the tire immediately.
TIP
The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always
comply with the local regulations.
Tire information
This model is equipped with tubeless
tires.
After extensive tests, only the tires lis-
ted below have been approved for
this model by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.
EWA10470
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the
vehicle with excessively worn
tires decreases riding stability
and can lead to loss of control.
The replacement of all wheel
and brake related parts, inclu-
ding the tires, should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the

Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabi-
lity, and safe operation of your vehi-
cle, note the following points regar-
ding the specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be chec-
ked for cracks, bends or warpage
before each ride. If any damage
is found, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair
to the wheel. A deformed or crac-
ked wheel must be replaced.
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for
it to develop its optimal characte-
ristics.

The brake lever free play should mea-
sure 3.0-3.5 mm (0.12-0.20 in) as
shown. Periodically check the brake
lever free play and, if necessary, have
a Yamaha dealer check the brake sys-
tem.
EWA10641
An incorrect brake lever free play
indicates a hazardous condition in
the brake system. Do not operate
the vehicle until the brake system
has been checked or repaired by a
Yamaha dealer.
EAU22392
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 maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU22430
Front brake pads
1. Wear indicator groove
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicator grooves, which allow
you to check the brake pad wear wit-
hout having 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 the
wear indicator grooves have almostdisappeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
EAU22520
Rear brake pads
1. Wear indicator groove
The rear brake is provided with a
check plug, which, if it is removed,
allows you to check the brake pad
wear without disassembling the bra-
ke. To check the brake pad wear,
check the position of the wear indica-
tor while applying the brake. If a bra-
ke pad has worn to the point that the
wear indicator almost touches the
brake disc, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.

EAU40260
Checking the brake fluid
level
Front brake
1. Minimum level mark
Rear brake
1. Minimum level mark
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke 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 leakage.
Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the bra-
ke fluid reservoir is level.
Use only the recommended qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing 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 performan-
ce.
Be careful that water or dust
does not enter the brake fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result
in vapor lock, and dirt may clog
the ABS hydraulic unit valves.
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.
