TIP
The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or
dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake and clutch service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake and clutch fluid levels.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cyl-
inders and calipers as well as clutch master and release cylinders, and
change the brake and clutch fluids.
• Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years and if cracked or
damaged.

Clutch lever
Since this model is equipped with a hy-
draulic clutch, adjusting the clutch le-
ver free play is not needed. However, it
is necessary to check the clutch fluid
level and check the hydraulic system
for leakage. (See page 6-26.)
TIP
If clutch lever free play becomes ex-
cessive, shifting becomes rough, or
clutch slippage occurs, there may be
air in the clutch system. Have a
Yamaha dealer bleed or replace the
hydraulic clutch fluid.
EAU37914
Checking the brake lever free
play
There should be no free play at the
brake lever end. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
WARNING
EWA14212
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of
air in the hydraulic system. If there is
air in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the
braking performance, which may re-
sult in loss of control and an acci-
dent.

EAU22501Rear brake pads
Check each rear brake pad for damage
and measure the lining thickness. If a
brake pad is damaged or if the lining
thickness is less than 0.8 mm (0.03 in),
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.EAU40272
Checking the brake and
clutch fluid levels
Before riding, check that the brake and
clutch fluids are above the minimum
level marks. Check the brake and
clutch fluid levels with the tops of the
reservoirs level. Replenish the brake
and clutch fluids if necessary.

TIP

WARNING
EWA16031
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability or clutch oper-
ation. Observe these precautions:
Insufficient brake or clutch fluid
may allow air to enter the brake
or clutch system, reducing
braking or clutch performance.
Clean the filler caps before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.
Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.
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 or dust
does not enter the brake or
clutch fluid reservoir when refill-
ing. Water will significantly low-er the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock,
and
dirt may clog the ABS hy-
draulic unit valves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
The brake or clutch fluid reservoir dia-
phragm will lose its shape from the
negative pressure if the fluid level goes
down too far. Be sure to return the dia-
phragm to its original shape before in-
stalling it into the brake or clutch fluid
reservoir.
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
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.1. Minimum level mark
