5B410020Checking the parking brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with two wear in-
dicator grooves, which allow you to check the
brake pad wear without having to disassem-
ble the brake. To check the brake pad wear,
check the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to a wear indicator groove, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads as a
set.1. Brake pad wear indicator groove

The brake fluid reservoir is located under the
hood. (See pages 8-7–8-8 for hood opening
and closing procedures.)
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the minimum level mark. Check the
brake fluid level with the top of the reservoir
level. Replenish the brake fluid if necessary.1. Minimum level mark

EVU01220Checking the brake pedal
Have a Yamaha dealer check the brakes at
the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. There should be
no free play in the brake pedal. The brakes
should operate smoothly and there should be
no brake drag. If the brakes feel soft or
spongy, this could indicate air in the brake
system. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
brake system if necessary.1. Brake pedala. No brake pedal free play
EVU00870Parking brake lever free play adjustment

play and adjust it if necessary.

dures.)
3. Remove the console. (See page 8-9 for

The figures quoted are emission levels and are not
necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a
correlation between the emission and exposure
levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine
whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure
of work-force include the characteristics of the
work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the
number of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
sure level can vary from country. This information,
however, will enable the user of the machine to
make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.
