Front brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with a wear indicator
groove, which allows you to check the brake pad
wear without having to disassemble the brake. To
check the brake pad wear, check the wear indica-
tor groove. If a brake pad has worn to the point
that the wear indicator groove has almost disap-
peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.
