the brake pedal and brake lever,

takes effect. If necessary, have a
Yamaha dealer adjust the brake light
switches.

1. Brake pad wear indicator
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicators, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without hav-
ing to disassemble the brake. To check
the brake pad wear, check the position
of the wear indicators while applying
the brake. If a brake pad has worn to
the point that a wear indicator almost
touches the brake disc, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads
as a set.
