BRAKE

(See page 8-14 ~ 8-15 for more details.)
1. Brake lever
Test the brake at slow speed when starting out to make
sure it is working properly. If the brake does not provide
proper braking performance, inspect the brake for wear
or brake fluid leakage.
WARNING
A soft, spongy feeling in the brake lever indicates a
failure in the brake system.
Do not operate the machine if you find any problems in
the brake system. Consult a Yamaha dealer for imme-
diate repairs. You could lose braking ability, which
could lead to an accident.
CAUTION :
Make sure that the brake lever end does not project out
over the handlebar end. This is to prevent brake lever
damage when the machine is placed on its side.
2. Brake fluid
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary.
