Checking the parking brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with two wear in-
dicator grooves, which allow you to check the
brake pad wear without having to disassem-
ble the brake. To check the brake pad wear,
check the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to a wear indicator groove, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads as a
set.

Checking the brake fluid level
The brake fluid reservoir is located under the
hood. (See pages 8-7–8-8 for hood opening
and closing procedures.)
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the minimum level mark. Check the
brake fluid level with the top of the reservoir
level. Replenish the brake fluid if necessary.
