Checking the front and rear
brake pads
Front brake
Rear brake
The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. Each brake pad is
provided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the brake pad
wear without having to disassemble
the brake. To check the brake pad
wear, check the position of the wear in-
dicator while applying the brake. If a
brake pad has worn to the point that
the wear indicator almost touches the
brake disc, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.

ervoir in an upright position. Replenish
the brake fluid if necessary.
