3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor brake perfor-
mance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean up
spilled fluid immediately.
6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
A. CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your machine
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend the
useful life of many components.
1. Before cleaning the machine:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to
prevent water entry. A plastic bag and
strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plugs and all filler
caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy,
apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do not
apply degreaser to the chain, sprockets or
wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a gar-
den hose. Use only enough pressure to do
the job.

5. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off
the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe out-
let to prevent moisture from entering.

coat all exposed metal surfaces with a light
film of oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber
parts or the seat cover.NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before storing the
machine.
