Front and rear brakes
1. Brake levers and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the rear brake
lever and that there is no free play in the front
brake lever. If the free play is incorrect, adjust
it. (See pages 8-99–8-103.)
Check the operation of the levers and pedal.
They should move smoothly and there
should be a firm feeling when the brakes are
applied. If not, have the machine inspected
by a Yamaha dealer.
2. Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-93–
8-97.)
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
3. Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out
of the pipe joints or master cylinder. Apply the
brakes firmly for one minute. If there is any
leaking, have the machine inspected by a
Yamaha dealer.
