WARNING
_
A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the pres-
ence of air in the hydraulic system.
If there is air in the hydraulic sys-
tem, have a Yamaha dealer bleed
the system before operating the ve-
hicle. Air in the hydraulic system
will diminish the braking perfor-
mance, which may result in loss of
control and an accident.
