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 8-19 ~ 8-23.)
Check operation of the levers and pedal. They
should move smoothly and there should be a
firm feeling when the brake is applied. If not,
have the ATV inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Brake fluid level (Front brake)
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-18 ~ 8-19.)
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of
the hose, joint or master cylinder of the front
brake. Apply the brake firmly for one minute. If
the lever moves slowly inward, there may be a
leak in the brake system. If there is any leak-
age, the brake system should be 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 brakes for wear. (See
page 8-17.)
