1. Brake lever and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the front brake lever and
rear brake pedal and adjust if necessary. Make sure
the brakes are working properly by checking at low

failure in the brake system. Do not operate the
motorcycle until the failure in the brake system is
corrected. Ask a Yamaha dealer or other qualified
mechanic for immediate repairs. A soft, spongy feeling
could indicate a hazardous condition in the brake
system.
