peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake pads as a set.

EAU48071

Rear brake pads

Each rear brake pad is provided with a
wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator groove. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the wear
indicator groove almost appears, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.

EAU22582

Checking the brake fluid level

Before riding, 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.

Rear brake

WARNING

EWA15991

Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability. Observe
these precautions:



Insufficient brake fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, reducing braking
performance.



Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.



Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
