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.

Checkin g the brake an d

clutch fluids are above the minimum
level marks. Check the brake and
clutch fluid levels with the tops of the
reservoirs level. Replenish the brake
and clutch fluids if necessary.

WARNING
EWA16031
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking a bility or clutch oper-
ation. O bserve these precautions:
Insufficient brake or clutch flui d
may allow air to enter the brake
or clutch system, re ducing
b rakin g or clutch performance.
Clean the filler caps before re-
moving . Use only DOT 4 b rake
flui d from a seale d container.
Use only the specified b rake flu-
i d ; otherwise, the ru bber seals
may deteriorate, causin g leak-
a g e.
Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A ddin g a brake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water or d ust
d oes not enter the brake or
clutch flui d reservoir when refill-
in g. Water will si gnificantly low-
er the boilin g point of the flui dan
d may result in vapor lock,
an d d ir t may clo
g th
e ABS hy-
d raulic unit valves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damag e painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.The brake or clutch fluid reservoir dia-
phragm will lose its shape from the
negative pressure if the fluid level goes
down too far. Be sure to return the dia-
phragm to its original shape before in-
stalling it into the brake or clutch fluid
reservoir.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low clutch
fluid level may indicate clutch system
leakage; therefore, be sure to check
the clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or clutch fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause before further riding.
EAU22754
Chan gin g the brake an d
clutch flui dsHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and clutch fluids at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have
the oil seals of the brake and clutch
master cylinders and calipers as well
as the brake and clutch hoses replaced
at the intervals listed below or whenev-
er they are damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake and clutch hoses: Replace
every four years.
