Front and rear brakes

Brake levers and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the brake levers
and brake pedal. If the free play is incorrect,
adjust it. (See pages 8-25–8-28.) Check the
operation of the brake levers and brake pedal.
They should move smoothly and there should
be a firm feeling when the brakes are applied.
If not, have the machine inspected by a
Yamaha dealer.
Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if neces-
sary. (See pages 8-23–8-24.)
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of
the pipe joints or master cylinder. Apply the
brakes firmly for one minute. If there is any
leaking, have the machine inspected by a
Yamaha dealer.
Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting
out to make sure they are working properly. If
the brakes do not provide proper braking per-
formance, inspect the brake pads for wear.
