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 flu- id levels.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cyl- inders 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.

Checkin g the brake an d
YCC-S clutch fluid levels
Before riding, check that the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluids are above the mi-
nimum 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
necessary.

Rear brake YCC-S clutch
TIP

The rear brake fluid reservoir is lo-
cated behind panel C. (See page
6-7.)
 The YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir is
located behind panel B. (See page
6-7.)
WARNING
EWA16021
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of brakin g a bility or YCC-S
clutch operation. O bserve these
precautions:  Insufficient brake or YCC-S
clutch flui d may allow air to en-
ter the b rake or YCC-S clutch
system, re ducing brakin g or
YCC-S 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 specifie d 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 b rake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water or dust
d oes not enter the brake or
YCC-S clutch flui d reservoir
when refillin g. Water will si gnifi-
cantly lower the boilin g point of
the flui d an d may result in vapor
lock, an d d irt may clo g the ABS
hy draulic unit valves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake flui d may damag e painte d
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.
The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid res-
ervoir diaphragms will lose their shape
from the negative pressure if the fluid
level goes down too far. Be sure to re-
turn the diaphragms to their original
shape before reinstalling them.
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
YCC-S clutch fluid level may indicate
YCC-S clutch system leakage; there-
fore, 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.
EAU40604
Chan gin g the brake an d
YCC-S clutch flui ds
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and YCC-S clutch fluids at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, 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 replaced at the in-
tervals listed below or whenever they
are damaged or leaking.
 Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
 Brake and YCC-S clutch hoses:
Replace every four years.
