Front and rear brakes
1. Brake lever and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the front
brake lever. If the free play is incorrect,
adjust it. Check for correct rear brake
pedal height. If the pedal height is
incorrect, have a Yamaha dealer adjust
it.
Check the operation of the lever and
pedal. They should move smoothly and
there should be a firm feeling when the
brakes are applied. If not, have the
machine inspected by a Yamaha deal-
er.(See pages 8-29 ~ 8-30.)
2. Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-27
~ 8-28.)
NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be
used.
3. Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leak-
ing out of the pipe joints or master
cylinders. Apply the brakes firmly for
one minute. If there is any leaking,
have the machine inspected by a
Yamaha dealer.
4. 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 performance,
inspect the brake pads for wear.
