PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR EAU22311 EAU22680 Checking the front and rear brake pads Checking the brake and clutch fluid levels Front brake Clutch 1. Minimum level mark 1. Brake pad wear indicator 6 The front and rear brake pads must be checked for wear at the intervals specified 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 indicator 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 replace the brake pads as a set. 1. Minimum level mark Rear brake Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the brake or clutch systems, possibly causing them 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 leakage. NOTE: The rear brake fluid reservoir is located behind panel B. (See page 6-8.) Observe these precautions: 1. Panel B 2. Minimum level mark 6-25
