Valve clearance
The correct valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper fuel/air supply or
engine noise. To prevent this, the valve clear-
ance must be adjusted regularly. This adjust-
ment however, should be left to a
professional Yamaha service technician.

Brakes
Replacement of brake components requires
professional knowledge. Brake service
should be performed by a Yamaha dealer.

Checking the front and rear brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with wear indica-
tor grooves, which allow you to check the
brake pad wear without having to disassem-
ble the brake. To check the brake pad wear,
check the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the wear indi-
cator grooves have almost disappeared, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads as a
set.
The wheels need to be removed to check the
brake pads. (See pages 8-40, 8-42 for wheel
removal and installation procedures.)
