Rear brake shoe inspection

A wear indicator is provided on the rear brake.
This indicator allows checking of brake shoe
wear without disassembling the brake.
Apply the rear brake and check the position of
the indicator. If the indicator reaches the wear
limit line, ask a Yamaha dealer to replace
shoes as a set.

Inspecting the brake fluid level

Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes to
become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the lower level and replenish when nec-
essary.
Observe these precautions:
1. When checking the fluid level, make sure
the top of the master cylinder is level by
turning the handlebars.
2. Use only the designated quality brake flu-
id. Otherwise, the rubber seals may dete-
riorate, causing leakage and poor brake
performance.
