Checking the front and rear
brake shoes
Front
Rear
The front and rear brake shoes must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Each brake is provid-
ed with a wear indicator, which allows
you to check the brake shoe wear with-
out 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.

Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in in-
ternal rusting and cause interfer-
ence with cable movement. Replace
damaged cables as soon as possi-
ble to prevent unsafe conditions.
