EBU32530Checking the brake pedalHave 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.
EBU33710Parking brakePull the parking brake lever rearward com-
pletely. If the parking brake lever clicks eight
times or more, have a Yamaha dealer adjust
the parking brake because the braking force
of the parking brake is weak. In addition, have
a Yamaha dealer check and adjust the park-
ing brake at the intervals specified in the peri-
odic maintenance and lubrication chart.EBU32551Brake light switch adjustmentThe brake light switch, which is activated by
the brake pedal, is properly adjusted when
the brake light comes on just before braking
takes effect.
