Rear Brake Pad Check; Checking The Brake Fluid Level - Yamaha YSR45FX Owner's Manual

Rear brake pad check
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 indica-
tor grooves have almost disappeared, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads as a
set.

Checking the brake fluid level
1. Minimum level mark
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter
the brake system, possibly causing the
brakes to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the minimum level mark and replenish,
if necessary. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake system
leakage. If the brake fluid level is low, be sure
to check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage.
