PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
6
8
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking perfor-
mance.
8
Be careful that water or dust
does not enter the brake fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water
will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result
in vapor lock, and dirt may clog
the ABS hydraulic unit valves.
8
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal 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.

Checking and lubricating the
cables
Cables, checking and lubricating
The operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables
should be checked before each ride,
and the cables and cable ends
should be lubricated if necessary. If
a cable is damaged or does not move
smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer
check or replace it.

Damage to the outer sheath may
interfere with proper cable opera-
tion and will cause the inner cable
to rust. Replace a damaged cable
as soon as possible to prevent
unsafe conditions.
EAU03976
Changing the brake fluid
