Rear brake shoe inspection
A wear indicator is provided on the rear brake.
This indicator allows checking of brake shoe
wear without disassembling the brake. Apply
the rear brake and check the position of the in-
dicator. If the indicator reaches the wear limit
line, ask a Yamaha dealer to replace shoes as
a set.

Brake fluid level check
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes to
become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the minimum level mark and replenish
if necessary. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake system
leakage. If the brake fluid level is low, be sure
to check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage.
