WARNING
Check the brake lever free play.
Be sure the brake is working
properly.
A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the
presence of air in the brake
system. This air must be re-
moved by bleeding the brake
system before the motorcycle
is operated. Air in the system
will cause greatly diminished
braking capability and can re-
sult in loss of control and an

accident. Have a Yamaha dealer
inspect and bleed the system if
necessary.
