A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the
presence of air in the
hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have
a Yamaha dealer bleed the
system before operating the
motorcycle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish
the braking performance,
which may result in loss of
control and an accident.
