Periodic maintenance and adjustment Parking brake pad to brake disc clearance (a) + (b): 1.5-2.0 mm (0.059-0.079 in) 7. 8. Tighten the parking brake pad adjusting bolt locknut. Install the right side cover and the shroud (RS90P / RS90PLT / RST90PGT), or close the shroud (RST90). G G Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4 may result in a harmful chemical reaction. 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. Checking the brake fluid level Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above the lower level. Check the brake fluid level with the top of the reservoir level. Replenish the brake fluid if necessary. ECS01050 NOTICE Brake fluid may damage 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. A low brake fluid level may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake system leakage; therefore, be sure to check the brake pads for wear and the brake system for leakage. If the brake fluid level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause before further riding. 1. Lower level Changing the brake fluid EWS00471 Specified brake fluid: DOT 4 EWS00820 WARNING Make sure that the brake fluid and the following parts are replaced by a Yamaha dealer. Brake fluid replacement is necessary when the following components are replaced during the periodic maintenance or if they are damaged or leaking. G All oil seals of the master cylinder and caliper cylinder G The brake hose ESU14270 WARNING Improper maintenance can result in loss of braking ability. Observe these precautions: G Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter the brake system, reducing braking performance. G Clean the filler cap before removing. Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed container. G Use only the specified brake fluid; otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing leakage.

7.
Tighten the parking brake pad adjusting
bolt locknut.
8.
Install the right side cover and the shroud
(RS90P / RS90PLT / RST90PGT), or
close the shroud (RST90).
Checking the brake fluid level
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the lower level. Check the brake fluid
level with the top of the reservoir level. Re-
plenish the brake fluid if necessary.
WARNING
EWS00820
Improper maintenance can result in loss
of braking ability. Observe these precau-
tions:
●
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, reducing brak-
ing performance.
●
Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
●
Use only the specified brake fluid; other-
wise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage.
●
Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4
may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion.
●
Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Wa-
ter will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
NOTICE
ECS01050
Brake fluid may damage 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. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage; therefore,
be sure to check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage. If the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cause before further riding.
Changing the brake fluid
WARNING
EWS00471
Make sure that the brake fluid and the fol-
lowing parts are replaced by a Yamaha
dealer.
Brake fluid replacement is necessary when
the following components are replaced during
the periodic maintenance or if they are dam-
aged or leaking.
●
