Front and rear brakes
Brake levers and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the brake levers and
brake pedal. If the free play is incorrect, adjust it.
Check operation of the levers and pedal. They
should move smoothly and there should be a firm
feeling when the brake is applied. If not, have the
ATV inspected by a Yamaha dealer. (See pages
8-51–8-57.)
Brake fluid level (Front brake)
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
(See pages 8-47–8-49.)
Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of the
hose, joint or master cylinder 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 inspected by a Yamaha dealer.Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

Brake fluid level inspection
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the brake
system, possibly causing the brakes to become in-
effective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is above
the lower level and replenish when necessary.
Observe these precautions:
1. When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the master cylinder is level by turning
the handlebars.
2. Use only the designated quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor brake perfor-
mance.
3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion and lead to poor brake performance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter the mas-
ter cylinder when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if the
brake fluid level goes down.
EBU00820*
Brake fluid replacement
1. Complete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
2. Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.
Replace all rubber seals every two years.
Replace all hoses every four years.
