
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter
the brake system, reducing braking perfor-
mance.

Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed contain-
er.

Use only the specified brake fluid; otherwise,
the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage.

Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Add-
ing a brake fluid other than DOT 4 may result
in a harmful chemical reaction.

Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the flu-
id and may result in vapor lock.
NOTICE
ECB01161
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake
fluid level to gradually go down. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to check the
brake pads for wear and the brake system for
leakage. If the brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause be-
fore further riding.


Oil seals: Replace every two years.

Brake hoses: Replace every four years.
