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 8-45, 8-46 for wheel
removal and installation procedures.)

Checking the brake fluid level
Before starting off, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark. Check the
brake fluid level with the top of the reservoir
level. Replenish the brake fluid if necessary.
