Rear brake lever free play
The brake lever free play should
measure 10 - 20 mm (0.4 - 0.8 in) as
shown. Periodically check the brake

EAU21961
Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, dura-
bility, and safe operation of your ve-
hicle, note the following points regard-
ing the specified wheels.
●
The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends or
warpage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest re-
pair to the wheel. A deformed or
cracked wheel must be replaced.
●
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
EAU49350
Checking the front brake le-
ver free play
There should be no free play at the
brake lever end. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the

EWA14211
WARNING
A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the pres-
ence of air in the hydraulic system.
If there is air in the hydraulic sys-
tem, have a Yamaha dealer bleed
the system before operating the
vehicle. Air in the hydraulic system
will diminish the braking perfor-
mance, which may result in loss of
control and an accident.
