Checking the front brake
pads and rear brake shoes
The front brake pads and the rear
brake shoes must be checked for
wear at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
EAU04502
Rear brake shoes
The rear brake is provided with a
wear indicator, which allows you to
check the brake shoe wear without
having to disassemble the brake. To
check the brake shoe wear, check
the position of the wear indicator
while applying the brake. If a brake
shoe has worn to the point that the
wear indicator reaches the wear limit
line, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake shoes as a set.

check the wear indicator groove. If a

the wear indicator groove has almost
disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
