1. Wear indicator
2. Wear limit line
The rear brake is provided with a wear
indicator, which allows you to check the
brake shoe wear without having to dis-
assemble 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.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

Checking the brake fluid level

1. MInimum level mark
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly caus-
ing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark and
replenish if necessary. 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 sys-
tem for leakage.
Observe these precautions:

8 When checking the fluid level, make
sure that the top of the master cyl-
inder is level by turning the handle-
bars.
8 Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking perfor-
mance.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
8 Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and lead
to poor braking performance.
8 Be careful that water does not en-
ter the master cylinder when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and may
result in vapor lock.
8 Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
