1. Brake shoe wear indicator
2. Brake shoe wear limit line
The rear brake is provided with a wear
indicator, which allows you to check
the brake shoe wear without having to
disassemble the brake. To check the
brake shoe wear, check the position of
the wear indicator while applying the
brake. If a brake shoe has worn to the
point that the wear indicator reaches
the wear limit line, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the brake shoes as a
set.

Checking the brake fluid level

Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark.
Check the brake fluid level with the top
EAU22541
of the reservoir level. Replenish the
brake fluid if necessary.

low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, reducing
performance.
 Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.
 Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.
 Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
