Checking the front and rear brake pads

damaged or if the lining thickness is less than
1.0 mm (0.04 in), have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.

brake pads. (See pages 8-54, 8-56 for wheel
removal and installation procedures.)

Checking the parking brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with a wear indi-

brake pad wear without having to disassem-
ble the brake. If a brake pad has worn to the
point that the wear indicator groove has al-
most disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.
