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 checked 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 performance, check the brake pads and friction plates for wear. (See page 8-39.) EBU19761 5 Tire pressure Use the low-pressure tire gauge to check and adjust tire pressures when the tires are cold. Tire pressures must be equal on both sides. WARNING! Operation of this vehicle with improper tire pressure may cause severe injury or death from loss of control or rollover. Tire pressure below the minimum specified could also cause the tire to dislodge from the rim under severe riding conditions. [EWB02541] Set tire pressures to the following specifications: Throttle lever Check the operation of the throttle lever. It must open smoothly and spring back to the idle position when released. Have a Yamaha dealer correct if necessary. EBU19814 Tires Check tire pressure regularly to make sure it is at the recommended specifications. Also check for wear and damage. 5-4
