Changing The Brake Fluid; Drive Chain Slack - Yamaha YBR125ED Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
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.
