check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low YCC-S
clutch fluid level may indicate YCC-S
clutch system leakage; therefore, be
sure to check the YCC-S clutch system
for leakage. If the brake or YCC-S
clutch fluid level goes down suddenly,
have a Yamaha dealer check the cause
before further riding.

YCC-S clutch fluids Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and YCC-S clutch fluids at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart or in the

lubrication chart. In addition, have the
oil seals of the brake and YCC-S clutch
master cylinders and calipers as well as
the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses re-
placed at the intervals listed below or
whenever they are damaged or leak-
ing.●

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 ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in in-
ternal rusting and cause interfer-
ence with cable movement. Replace
damaged cables as soon as possi-

completely protect the cable from water
entry. Therefore, use care not to pour
water directly onto the cover or cable
when washing the vehicle. If the cable
or cover becomes dirty, wipe clean with
a moist cloth.

lyte or to add distilled water. However,
the battery lead connections need to be
checked and, if necessary, tightened.
WARNING

of contact, administer the fol-
lowing FIRST AID.
EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty of water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quan- tities of water or milk and im-
mediately call a physician.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.

drogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed
space.
