performance.
Clean the filler cap before re-
movin g. Use only DOT 4 brake
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-

Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A dding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water or d ust
d oes not enter the brake flui d
reservoir when refillin g. Water
will si gnificantly lower the boil-
in g point of the flui d an d may re-
sult in vapor lock, an d d ir t may

valves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake flui d may d amage painte d
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid imme diately.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. If the brake fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before
further riding.

3. Push down on the drive chain un- der the end of the drive chain
guard.
4. Measure distance A between the drive chain guard and the center
of the chain as shown. 5. If distance A is incorrect, adjust it
as follows. NOTICE: Improper
d rive chain slack will overload
the en gine as well as other vital
parts of the motorcycle an d can
lea d to chain slippag e or break-
a g e. If distance A is more than
55.0 mm (2.24 in), the chain can
d amag e the frame, swin garm,
an d other parts. To prevent this
from occurrin g, keep the drive
chain slack within the specifie d
