Lower brake fluid level
EAH88202
Inspecting the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter
the brake system, possibly causing the
brakes to become ineffective. Before
riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the lower level and replenish
when necessary.
Observe these precautions:
1.
When checking the fluid level, make
sure the top of the master cylinder is
level by turning the handlebars.
2. Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake perfor-
mance.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT #3 or DOT #4
3. Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and lead
to poor brake performance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter
the master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and may
result in “VAPOR LOCK”.
5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
cause if the brake fluid level goes
down.
