Checking The Brake Fluid Level - Yamaha YP125R Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Rear brake pads
1. Brake pad wear indicator groove
The rear brake is provided with a
check plug, which, if it is removed,
6
allows you to check the brake pad
wear without disassembling the bra-
ke. To check the brake pad wear,
check the position of the wear indica-
tor while applying the brake. If a bra-
ke pad has worn to the point that the
wear indicator almost touches the
brake disc, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.

EAU22580 Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate 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.
Observe these precautions:
●
When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the bra-
ke fluid reservoir is level.
● Use only the recommended qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
● Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performance.
●
Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
