Checking the front and rear
brake pads
The front and rear brake pads must be
6 checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Each brake pad is
provided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the brake pad wear
without having to disassemble the
brake.
Rear
1. Rear brake pad wear indicator (× 2)
To check the brake pad wear, check
EAU00715
the position of the wear indicator while
applying the brake. If a brake 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.
Front
1. Minimum level mark

Checking the brake fluid level

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly caus-
ing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark and
replenish if necessary. A low brake flu-
id level may indicate worn brake pads
and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake level is low, be sure to check the
brake pads for wear and the brake sys-
tem for leakage.
