Front and rear brakes

Brake levers and brake pedal

Check for correct free play in the front brake

lever. If the free play is incorrect, have a

Yamaha dealer adjust it.

Check for correct free play in the rear brake

lever and brake pedal. If the free play is incor-

rect, adjust it. (See pages 8-24–8-27.)

Check operation of the levers and pedal. They

should move smoothly and there should be a

firm feeling when the brake is applied. If not,

have a Yamaha dealer inspect them.

Brake fluid level (front brake)

Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if neces-

sary. (See pages 8-22–8-23.)

Brake fluid leakage (front brake)

Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of

the hose, joint or brake fluid reservoir of the

front brake. Apply the brake firmly for one

minute. If the lever moves slowly inward,

there may be a leak in the brake system. If

there is any leakage, the brake system should

be inspected by a Yamaha dealer.

Brake operation

Test the brakes at slow speed after starting

out to make sure they are working properly. If

the brakes do not provide proper braking per-

formance, inspect the brake pads and shoes

for wear. (See page 8-21.)

Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
