Observe these precautions: G When checking the fluid level, make sure the top of the master cylinder reservoirs are level. G Use only the designated quality brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor brake performance. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4 G G G Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immediately. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if the brake fluid level goes down. G Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor brake performance. Be careful that water does not enter the master cylinder reservoirs when refilling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock. 8-42

Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level, make sure
the top of the master cylinder reservoirs are
level.
Use only the designated quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage and poor brake per-
formance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mix-
ing fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction and lead to poor brake perfor-
mance.
Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder reservoirs when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfac-
es or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
