Rear brake pads
Each rear brake pad is provided with
wear indicator grooves, which allow
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that a wear
indicator groove almost appears, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.

Checking the brake fluid level
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark.
Make sure the reservoir is parallel to
the ground when checking.

Brake fluid may damage painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
Front brake
Rear brake
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down.
A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads 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 the cause before further rid-
ing.
