Checking The Front And Rear Brake Pads; Checking The Parking Brake Pads - Yamaha VIKING YXM70VDXJ Owner's Manual

Checking the front and rear brake pads

Each brake pad is provided with wear indica-
tor 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 the point that the wear indi-
cator grooves have almost disappeared, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads as a
set.
The wheels need to be removed to check the
brake pads. (See pages 8-41, 8-42 for wheel
removal and installation procedures.)

most disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.
