Rear brake pad inspection

Inspect the brake pad for damage or wear.
Wear indicator grooves are provided on the
brake pad. These indicators allow checking of
brake pad wear without disassembling the
brake. Inspect the grooves. If they have al-
most disappeared, ask a Yamaha dealer to
replace the pad.

Inspecting the brake fluid level

Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes to
become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the lower level and replenish when
necessary. The rear brake fluid master cylin-
der reservoir is located under panel C. (See
pages 8-9–8-10 for removal and installation
procedures.)
