Front And Rear Brakes - Yamaha WOLVERINE YFM350FXP Owner's Manual

EBU00670

Front and rear brakes

1. Brake levers and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the rear
brake lever and that there is no free play in
the front brake lever. If the free play is in-
correct, adjust it. (See pages 8-25 ~ 8-28.)
Check the operation of the levers and
pedal. They should move smoothly and
there should be a firm feeling when the
brakes are applied. If not, have the ma-
chine inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
2. Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-23 ~
8-24.)
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
3. Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking
out of the pipe joints or master cylinder.
Apply the brakes firmly for one minute. If
there is any leaking, have the machine in-
spected by a Yamaha dealer.
4. Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after start-
ing out to make sure they are working
properly. If the brakes do not provide
proper braking performance, inspect the
brake pads for wear. (See page 8-22.)
