Yamaha VIKING 2021 - Brake Fluid Replacement; Checking the Brake Pedal

9-36
9
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage; therefore,
be sure to check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage. If the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha
dealer check and repair the vehicle before
any further operation.

Brake fluid replacement
Complete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.
 Replace the oil seals every two years.
 Replace the brake hoses every four years.
EBU32531
Checking the brake pedal
Have a Yamaha dealer check the brakes at
the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance chart. There should be no free play in
the brake pedal. The brakes should operate
smoothly and there should be no brake drag.
If the brakes feel soft or spongy, this could in-
dicate air in the brake system. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the brake system if
necessary.
