Checking the front and rear

The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
Front brake pads

wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.

the wear indicator groove. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the wear

peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake pads as a set.
