Use only the specified brake fluid; otherwise,
the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Add-
ing a brake fluid other than DOT 4 may result
in a harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the flu-
id and may result in vapor lock.
NOTICE
ECB01161
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake
fluid level to gradually go down. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to check the
brake pads for wear and the brake system for
leakage. If the brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause be-
fore further riding.

Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the brake fluid at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have the oil seals
of the brake master cylinder and calipers as well
as the brake hoses replaced at the intervals listed
below or whenever they are damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two years.
Brake hoses: Replace every four years.
EBU24395
Checking the front brake lever free
play
The brake lever free play must be checked at the

no free play as shown. If there is free play, have a
Yamaha dealer check the brake system.
