PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
