Observe these precautions:
•
When checking the fluid level, make
sure that the top of the brake fluid
reservoir is level.
•
Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing leak-
age and poor braking performance.
•
Refill with the same type of brake flu-
id. Mixing fluids may result in a harm-
ful chemical reaction and lead to poor
braking performance.
•
Be careful that water does not enter
the brake fluid reservoir when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and may re-
sult in vapor lock.
•
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
•
As the brake pads wear, it is normal
for the brake fluid level to gradually
go down. However, if the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause.
