Checking the front brake
shoes
The front brake shoes must be checked
for wear at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication

having to disassemble the brake. To
check the brake shoe wear, check the
position of the wear indicator while ap-
plying the brake. If a brake shoe has
worn to the point that the wear indicator
reaches the wear limit line, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake
shoes as a set.
