Observe these precautions:
8 When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
master cylinder or brake fluid
reservoir is level.
8 Use only the recommended qual-
ity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, caus-
ing leakage and poor braking
performance.

Checking the brake fluid
level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system
leakage. If the brake level is low, be
sure to check the brake pads for
wear and the brake system for leak-
age.

Rear brake pads
The rear brake is provided with a
check plug, which, if it is removed,
allows you to check the brake pad
wear without disassembling the
brake. If the lining thickness is less
than 0.8 mm, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
