Apply the brake firmly for one minute. If the lever
moves slowly inward, there may be a leak in the
brake system. If there is any leakage, the brake
system should be checked by a Yamaha dealer.
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, check
the brake pads and friction plates for wear. (See
page 8-31.)
Throttle lever
Check the operation of the throttle lever. It must
open smoothly and spring back to the idle position
when released. Have a Yamaha dealer correct if
necessary.
Tires
Check tire pressure regularly to make sure it is at

pressure below the minimum specified could
also cause the tire to dislodge from the rim un-
der severe riding conditions.
