Checking The Brake Fluid Level - Yamaha X MAX CZD300P 2022 Owner's Manual

Periodic maintenance and adjustment
The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Each brake pad is
provided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the brake pad
wear without having to disassemble
the brake. To check the brake pad
wear, check the position of the wear in-
dicator while applying the brake. If a
brake pad has worn to the point that
the wear indicator almost touches the
brake disc, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.

As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down.

cate worn brake pads or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure
to check the brake pads for wear

suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause before further rid-
