Observe these precautions: • When checking the fluid level, make sure that the top of the brake fluid reservoir is level. • Use only the recommended quality brake fluid, otherwise the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage and poor braking performance. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4 • Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor braking performance. • Be careful that water does not enter the brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock. • Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid immediately. • As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake fluid level to gradually go down. However, if the brake fluid level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause. EBU24290 Changing the brake fluid Have a Yamaha dealer change the brake fluid at the intervals specified in the NOTE after the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, have the oil seals of the master cylinders and calipers as well as the brake hoses replaced at the intervals listed below or whenever they are damaged or leaking. • Oil seals: Replace every two years. • Brake hoses: Replace every four years. EBU27530 Checking the front and rear brake lever free play The front and rear brake lever free play must be checked at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. Each brake lever should have a free play of zero mm (zero in) as shown. If the free play is incorrect, have a Yamaha dealer check the brake system. 8-48
