TIP●
The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
●
Hydraulic brake and YCC-S clutch service Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake and YCC-S clutch fluid levels.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers as well as YCC-S clutch master and release cylinders, and change the brake and YCC-S clutch fluids.
Replace the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Checking the front and rear
brake pads The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
EAU43431
Front brake pads
The front brake calipers are equipped
with two sets of brake pads.
Each front brake pad is provided with a
wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check a brake pad for wear, check
its wear indicator groove. If a brake pad
has worn to the point that the wear indi-cator groove has almost disappeared,
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.
EAU22500
Rear brake pads
Check each rear brake pad for damage
and measure the lining thickness. If a
brake pad is damaged or if the lining
thickness is less than 0.8 mm (0.03 in),
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.
EAU40592
Checking the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluid levels Before riding, check that the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluids are above the min-
imum level marks. Check the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluid levels with the tops
of the reservoirs level. Replenish the
brake and YCC-S clutch fluids if neces-
sary.
