Brake fluid level inspection

Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the

brake system, possibly causing the brakes

to become ineffective.

Before riding, check that the brake fluid is

above the lower level and replenish when

necessary.

1. Minimum level mark

Observe these precautions:

1. When checking the fluid level, make

sure the top of the master cylinder is

level by turning the handlebars.

2. Use only the designated quality brake

fluid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may

deteriorate, causing leakage and poor

brake performance.

3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid.

Mixing fluids may result in a harmful

chemical reaction and lead to poor

brake performance.

4. Be careful that water does not enter

the master cylinder when refilling. Wa-

ter will significantly lower the boiling

point of the fluid and may result in va-

por lock.

5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted

surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean

up spilled fluid immediately.

6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause

if the brake fluid level goes down.

Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
