Checking the front and rear brake pads

In order to check wear on the disc brake
pads, a wear indicator is attached to each
brake pad.
This indicator permits a visual check without
disassembling the pads.
To check, open the wear indicator cap. If any
pad is worn to the red line, ask a Yamaha
dealer or other qualified mechanic to replace
the pads.
