The brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever,
should come on just before braking
takes effect. Since the brake light
switches are components of the cruise
control system, they must be adjusted
by a Yamaha dealer, who has the nec-
essary professional knowledge and ex-
perience.

Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicators, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without hav-
ing to disassemble the brake. To check
the brake pad wear, check the position
of the wear indicators while applying
the brake. If a brake pad has worn to
the point that a wear indicator almost
touches the brake disc, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads
as a set.

and measure the lining thickness. If a
brake pad is damaged or if the lining
thickness is less than 0.8 mm (0.03 in),
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.
