FOR YOUR SAFETY – PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
EBU31585Before starting off, inspect the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Use the fol-
lowing checklist and related information as a guide. Also, follow the service intervals in the peri-
odic maintenance chart to keep the vehicle in safe operating condition.
WARNING
EWB00482Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident
or equipment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem can-
not be corrected by the procedures provided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by
a Yamaha dealer. Pre-operation checklist

EBU31731Front and rear brakesBrake pedal
Check that there is no free play in the brake
pedal. If there is free play, have a Yamaha
dealer check the brake system. (See page
9-51.)
 Check the operation of the brake pedal. It
should move smoothly and there should be
a firm feeling when the brakes are applied.
If not, have the vehicle inspected by a
Yamaha dealer.
Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if neces-
sary. (See page 9-49.) Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out
of the pipe joints or the brake fluid reservoir.
Apply the brakes firmly for one minute. If there
is any leakage, have the vehicle inspected by
a Yamaha dealer.
Brake operation
Check the operation of the brakes at the start
of every drive. Test the brakes at slow speed
after starting out to make sure they are work-
ing properly. If the brakes do not provide
proper braking performance, inspect the
brake system. (See page 9-47.)
EBU36972FuelMake sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
Refuel if necessary.
Specified brake fluid: DOT 4

fluid levelsBefore starting off, check that the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluids are above the minimum
level marks. Replenish the brake and YCC-S
clutch fluids if necessary.
TIPThe brake and YCC-S clutch fluid reser-
voirs are located under the hood (page
9-11).
 For an accurate reading, make sure the ve-
hicle is parked on a level surface.

WARNING
EWB04160Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability or YCC-S clutch operation.
Observe these precautions:
Insufficient brake or YCC-S clutch fluid
may allow air to enter the brake or
YCC-S clutch system, reducing braking
or YCC-S clutch performance.
 Clean the filler caps before removing.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
 Use only the specified brake fluid; other-
wise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage.
 Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4
may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion. 
Be careful that water or dust does not
enter the brake or YCC-S clutch fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water will signif-
icantly lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately. As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads 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; therefore, be sure to check
the YCC-S clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or YCC-S clutch fluid level goes down
