fessional knowledge. Brake service should be per-
formed by a Yamaha dealer.

ed brakes could lead to a loss in braking ability
and an accident.EBU24090Checking the front and rear brake
shoes The front and rear brake shoes must be checked
for wear at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. Each brake is
provided with a wear indicator, which allows you to
check the brake shoe wear without having to dis-
assemble the brake. To check the brake shoe
wear, check the position of the wear indicator while
applying the brake. If a brake shoe has worn to the
point that the wear indicator reaches the wear limit
line or mark, have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake shoes as a set.Front brake
