Front and rear brakes
1. Brake lever and brake pedal
Check that there is no free play in the
brake lever. If there is free play, adjust it.
(See pages 8-31 ~ 8-32.)
Check the operation of the lever and
pedal. They should move smoothly and
there should be a firm feeling when the
brakes are applied. If not, have the
machine inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
2. Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-29 ~
8-30.)
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
inspected 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 8-28.)
