The rear brake lock must be checked
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
1. Adjust the rear brake lock cable.
2. Apply the rear brake lock, and
then try to push the vehicle to con-
firm that the rear brake lock func-
tions properly.
3. The rear brake lock caliper is pro-
vided with wear pad indicator
grooves, which allow you to check
the brake pad wear without having
to disassemble 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 indicator grooves
have almost disappeared, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set and check the rear
brake lock.
