Checking The Brake Fluid Level - Yamaha YFM35RX Owner's Manual

EBU24251

Checking the brake fluid level

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the
brake system, possibly causing it to become inef-
fective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above
the minimum level mark and replenish if neces-
sary. A low brake fluid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake fluid level is low, be sure to check the brake
pads for wear and the brake system for leakage.

Observe these precautions:

When checking the fluid level, make sure that
the top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.
G
Use only the recommended quality brake fluid,
otherwise the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor braking performance.
Recommended brake fluid:

G Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction
and lead to poor braking performance.
