NOTE: It may be necessary to refill
the reservoir during the bleeding
process. Never allow the brake fluid
to go below the low brake fluid mark
in the reservoir.
5. When the brake fluid is free of all air
and the brake lever feels firm when
compressed, fill the reservoir to the
high brake fluid mark; then install and
secure the cover. Remove the tube
from the bleeder valve.
Checking/Changing Brake
Pads
The condition of the brake pads must be
checked daily and changed if worn or
damaged. To check and change the brake
pads, use the following procedure:
NOTE: The brake pads may be
changed by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner does
not feel qualified, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Yamaha Snow-
mobile dealer for this service. This
service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
NOTE: When installing new brake
pads, always install them as a set.
Never install just one pad or use
brake pads which have been used in
another snowmobile.
1. Remove the brake fluid reservoir
cover; then remove most of the
brake fluid from the reservoir. Install
the cover.
NOTE: The above procedure will
allow room for the fluid from the cali-
per when the pistons are pushed
into the caliper for installing new
brake pads. Replacing the cover will
prevent fluid spillage.
2. Open the left-side access panel.
3. Remove the torx-head screws secur-
ing the brake shield to the belt guard
mount; then remove the cap screws
securing the brake shield to the
brake caliper.
4. Carefully move the shield out of the
way; then remove the hairpin clip
securing the brake pads to the cali-
per assembly.
5. Using a pair of pliers, pull the outer
brake pad out of the caliper assembly.

NOTE: Changing one pad at a time
will prevent one piston from pushing
out the other piston from the caliper.
6. Measure the thickness of the brake pad.
The brake pad thickness must be greater
than 5.0 mm (0.20 in.). If the brake pad
thickness is less than specified, replace-
ment of both pads is necessary.

7. Using a flat-blade tool, slowly and
carefully push the piston into the
caliper.
8. Position the outer brake pad into the
caliper; then install the hair-pin clip
into the caliper assembly.
9. Repeat steps 5-8 for the inner pad; then
secure the pad with the hairpin clip.
10. Remove the reservoir cover and
remove the remaining fluid; then fill
the reservoir with fresh fluid and
install the cover.
11. Pump the brake lever to ensure cor-
rect positioning of the brake pads
and proper brake lever travel; then
release.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not
spill brake fluid on any surface of the
snowmobile.
