Rear brake shoes
The rear brake is provided with a
wear indicator, which allows you 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 in-
dicator reaches the wear limit line,
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake shoes as a set.

system for leakage.
Observe these precautions:
