PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

6-32

●

Be careful that water does not en-

ter the brake fluid reservoir when

refilling. Water will significantly

lower the boiling point of the fluid

and may result in vapor lock.

●

Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-

ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-

ways clean up spilled fluid

immediately.

●

As the brake pads wear, it is nor-

mal for the brake fluid level to

gradually go down. However, if the

brake fluid level goes down sud-

denly, have a Yamaha dealer

check the cause.

EAU03976

Changing the brake fluid

Have a Yamaha dealer change the

brake fluid at the intervals specified in

the NOTE after the periodic mainte-

nance and lubrication chart. In addition,

have the oil seals of the master cylin-

ders and calipers as well as the brake

hoses replaced at the intervals listed

below or whenever they are damaged

or leaking.

●

Oil seals: Replace every two

years.

●

Brake hoses: Replace every four

years.
