Changing The Brake And Ycc-S Clutch Fluids; Checking And Lubricating The Cables - Yamaha FJR1300ASW Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Be sure to return the diaphragms
to their original shape before rein-
stalling them.
G Be careful that water or dust does
not enter the brake and YCC-S
clutch fluid reservoirs when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock, and dirt
may clog the ABS hydraulic unit
valves.
G
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up
immediately.

G As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to grad-
ually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
Changing the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluids
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and YCC-S clutch fluids at the in-
tervals specified in the NOTE after the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, have the oil seals of
the brake and YCC-S clutch master cyl-
inders and calipers as well as the brake
and YCC-S clutch hoses replaced at
the intervals listed below or whenever
they are damaged or leaking.
G
Oil seals: Replace every two
spilled fluid
years.
G
Brake and YCC-S clutch hoses:
Replace every four years.

Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
Damage to the outer sheath may in-
terfere with proper cable operation
and will cause the inner cable to
rust. Replace a damaged cable as
soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
