Changing The Brake And Ycc-S Clutch Fluids - Yamaha FJR1300AS Owner's Manual

G
The YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir is
located behind panel B. (See page
6-6.)
Observe these precautions:
G When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the brake
and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoirs
are level.
G
Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking or
YCC-S clutch performance.
Recommended brake and YCC-S
clutch fluid:
DOT 4 brake fluid
G
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking or YCC-S
clutch performance.
G
The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid
reservoir diaphragms will lose their
shape from the negative pressure
if the fluid level goes down too far.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Be sure to return the diaphragms
to their original shape before rein-
stalling them.
G Be careful that water or dust does
not enter the brake and YCC-S
clutch fluid reservoirs when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock, and dirt
may clog the ABS hydraulic unit
valves.
G
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up
immediately.
G As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to grad-
ually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
