Brake fluid level (front brake)

Brake fluid leakage (front brake)
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of
the hose, joint or brake fluid reservoir of the
front brake. Apply the brake firmly for one
minute. If the lever moves slowly inward,
there may be a leak in the brake system. If
there is any leakage, the brake system should
be inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting
out to make sure they are working properly. If
the brakes do not provide proper braking per-
formance, inspect the brake pads and shoes
for wear. (See page 8-26.)
