EAU22392

Checking the front and rear 
brake pads 

The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.

EAU36890

Front brake pads

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.

EAU22470

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 has almost disap-
peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake pads as a set.

EAU22580

Checking the brake fluid level 

Front brake

Rear brake

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly caus-
ing it to become ineffective.
