PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction and lead to poor braking performance. Be careful that water or dust 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, and dirt may clog the ABS hydraulic unit valves. 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. EAU22751 EAU23093 Changing the brake and clutch fluids Have a Yamaha dealer change the brake and clutch fluids at the intervals specified in the TIP after the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, have the oil seals of the brake and clutch master cylinders and calipers as well as the brake and clutch hoses replaced at the intervals listed below or whenever they are damaged or leaking. ● Oil seals: Replace every two years. ● Brake and clutch hoses: Replace every four years. Checking and lubricating the cables The operation of all control cables and the condition of the cables should be checked before each ride, and the cables and cable ends should be lubricated if necessary. If a cable is damaged or does not move smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer check or replace it. WARNING! Damage to the outer housing of cables may result in internal rusting and cause interference with cable movement. Replace damaged cables as soon as possible to prevent unsafe conditions.[EWA10711] Recommended lubricant: Yamaha Chain and Cable Lube or engine oil ● 1 2 3 ● 4 5 6 7 8 9 ● 7-27

Be careful that water or dust does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir

As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to grad-
ually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer
