Rear brake shoes
The rear brake is provided with a wear indicator,
which allows you to check the brake shoe wear
without having to disassemble the brake. To check
the brake shoe wear, check the position of the
wear indicator while applying the brake. If a brake
shoe has worn to the point that the wear indicator
reaches the wear limit line or mark, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake shoes as a set.

Checking the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the
brake system, possibly causing it to become inef-
fective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above
the minimum level mark and replenish if neces-
sary. A low brake fluid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake fluid level is low, be sure to check the brake
pads for wear and the brake system for leakage.
Observe these precautions:
●
When checking the fluid level, make sure that
the top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.
