Brake levers and brake pedal
●
Check for correct free play in the front
brake lever. If the free play is incorrect,
have a Yamaha dealer adjust it.
●
Check for correct free play in the rear brake
lever and brake pedal. If the free play is in-
correct, adjust it. (See pages 8-30–8-33.)
●
Check operation of the levers and pedal.
They should move smoothly and there
should be a firm feeling when the brake is
applied. If not, have a Yamaha dealer in-
spect them.
Brake fluid level (front brake)
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if neces-
sary. (See pages 8-27–8-28.)
Brake fluid leakage (front brake)
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of
the hose, joint or brake fluid reservoir of the
front brake. Apply the brake firmly for one
minute. If the lever moves slowly inward,
there may be a leak in the brake system. If
there is any leakage, the brake system should
be inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting
out to make sure they are working properly. If
the brakes do not provide proper braking per-
formance, inspect the brake pads and shoes
for wear. (See page 8-26.)
