Changing The Brake Uid - Yamaha Tracer 9 Owner's Manual

• Use only the speci ed brake u-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.
• Re ll with the same type of
brake uid. Adding a brake uid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
• Be careful that water or dust
does not enter the brake
reservoir when re lling. Water
will signi cantly lower the boil-
ing point of the uid and may re-
sult in vapor lock, and dirt may
clog the ABS hydraulic unit
valves.
NOTICE
Brake uid may damage painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled uid immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake uid level to gradually go
down. A low brake uid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brake

uid level goes down suddenly, have a
