Brake Fluid Replacement - Yamaha Thundercat YZF600R Owner's Manual

Rear
1. Minimum level mark
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake perfor-
mance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake performance.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
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.
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up
immediately.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the
cause if the brake fluid level goes
down.
