PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in vapor lock. ECA17640 EAU22752 EAU23040 Changing the brake and clutch fluids Have a Yamaha dealer change the brake and clutch fluids at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart or 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. Drive belt slack The drive belt slack should be checked and adjusted at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. EAU38410 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. A low clutch fluid level may indicate clutch system leakage; therefore, be sure to check the clutch system for leakage. If the brake or clutch fluid level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check the cause before further riding. To check the drive belt slack 1. Place the vehicle on the sidestand. 2. Note the current position of the drive belt using the marks near the drive belt check hole. TIP The marks near the drive belt check hole are 5.0 mm (0.2 in) apart. 7 2 1 1. Drive belt 2. Marks 7-20

Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces 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 indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake sys-
tem leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low clutch
fluid level may indicate clutch system
leakage; therefore, be sure to check the
clutch system for leakage. If the brake
or clutch fluid level goes down sudden-
ly, have a Yamaha dealer check the
cause before further riding.
