Clutch lever free play
Since this model is equipped with a hy-
draulic clutch, adjusting the clutch lever
free play is not needed. However, it is
necessary to check the clutch fluid lev-
el and check the hydraulic system for
leakage before each ride. If the clutch
lever free play does become exces-
sive, and shifting becomes rough or
clutch slippage occurs, causing poor
acceleration, there may be air in the
clutch system. If there is air in the hy-
draulic system, have a Yamaha dealer
bleed the system before operating the
motorcycle.
EAU00712
Adjusting the brake pedal
position
The top of the brake pedal should be
positioned approximately 42 mm
(1.7 in) below the top of the footrest as
shown. Periodically check the brake
pedal position and, if necessary, have
a Yamaha dealer adjust it.

WARNING
_
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the hydraulic system. If there
is air in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the motorcycle. Air in
the hydraulic system will diminish
the braking performance, which
may result in loss of control and an
accident.
