Changing The Brake Fluid - Yamaha Grand filano LTF125-I Owner's Manual

Periodic maintenance and adjustment
Insufficient brake fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, reducing
performance.
Do not let water enter the brake
fluid reservoir when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
To prevent
clean the reservoir and filler cap
before removing. Use only fresh
brake fluid from a sealed con-
tainer.
Use only the specified brake flu-
id. Use of a different brake fluid
may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, may cause the rubber
seals to deteriorate or cause in-
ternal rusting of the brake sys-

tem.
NOTICE
Brake fluid may damage painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
braking down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads or brake system
leakage. Therefore, be sure to check
the brake pads for wear and the brake
system for leakage. If the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle be-
contamination, fore further operation.
