s
A soft or spongy feeling in the bra-
ke lever can indicate the presence
of air in the hydraulic system. If the-
re is air in the hydraulic system,
have a Yamaha dealer bleed the
system before operating the vehi-
cle. Air in the hydraulic system will
diminish the braking performance,
which may result in loss of control
and an accident.
