Checking the rear brake lock

The rear brake lock must be checked at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Adjust the rear brake lock cable.
2. Apply the rear brake lock, and then
try to push the vehicle to confirm
that the rear brake lock functions
properly.
3. The rear brake lock caliper is pro-
vided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the rear brake
lock pads. To check the rear brake
lock pads, check the position of the
indicator when the rear brake lock
lever is applied. If the indicator has
passed the wear indicator groove,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
rear brake lock.
4. Make sure that there are no tears
or cracks on the rubber boot.
