Checking The Brake And Ycc-S Clutch Fluid Levels - Yamaha FJR13AEV(C) Owner's Manual

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Checking the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluid levels
Front brake
1. Minimum level mark
6
Rear brake
1. Minimum level mark
EAU40591 YCC-S clutch
1. Minimum level mark
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake or YCC-S clutch sys-
tems, possibly causing them to become
ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark and
replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads
and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake fluid level is low, be sure to check
the brake pads for wear and the brake
system for leakage.
NOTE:
G The rear brake fluid reservoir is lo-
cated behind panel C. (See page
6-8.)
6-23
G
The YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir is
located behind panel B. (See page
6-8.)
Observe these precautions:
G When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the brake
and YCC-S clutch fluid reservoirs
are level.
G
Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking or
YCC-S clutch performance.
Recommended brake and YCC-S
clutch fluid:
DOT 4 brake fluid
G
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking or YCC-S
clutch performance.
G
The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid
reservoir diaphragms will lose their
shape from the negative pressure
if the fluid level goes down too far.
