PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
7-27
7
●
Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking or clutch
performance.
●
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking or clutch per-
formance.
●
Be careful that water does not en-
ter the brake or clutch fluid reser-
voir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point
of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
●
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
●
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to grad-
ually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
