As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
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 cause before further rid-
