Rear brake pad check

Check the brake pads for damage or wear.
Wear indicator grooves are provided on the
brake pads. These indicators allow checking
of brake pad wear without disassembling the
brake. Check the wear indicator grooves. If a
brake pad has worn to the point that the wear
indicator grooves have almost disappeared,
ask a Yamaha dealer to replace the pads as a
set.
