Brake levers and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the brake levers
and brake pedal. If the free play is incorrect,
adjust it. (See pages 8-19 ~ 8-23.)
Check operation of the levers and pedal. They

firm feeling when the brake is applied. If not,
have the ATV inspected by a Yamaha dealer.

Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-18 ~ 8-19.)
