Always check for obstacles before operating in
a new area.
Never attempt to operate over large obstacles,
such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always fol-
low proper procedures when operating over
obstacles as described in this manual.


Always be careful when skidding or sliding.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth
terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such
as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order
to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out
of control.


Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or
in water deeper than that recommended in this
manual. Remember that wet brakes may have
reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water. If necessary, apply them several
times to let friction dry out the linings.

Front and rear brakes
1. Brake levers and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the rear brake
lever and that there is no free play in the front
brake lever. If the free play is incorrect, adjust
it. (See pages 8-99 ~ 8-103.)
Check the operation of the levers and pedal.
They should move smoothly and there
should be a firm feeling when the brakes are
applied. If not, have the machine inspected
by a Yamaha dealer.
2. Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-93 ~
8-97.)
3. Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out
of the pipe joints or master cylinder. Apply the
brakes firmly for one minute. If there is any
leaking, have the machine inspected by a
Yamaha dealer. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

4. Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting
out to make sure they are working properly. If
the brakes do not provide proper braking per-
formance, inspect the brake pads for wear.
(See page 8-91.)
WARNING
Always check the brakes at the start of every
ride. Do not ride the ATV if you find any prob-
lem with the brakes or you could lose braking
ability, which could lead to an accident. If a
problem cannot be corrected by the adjust-
ment procedures provided in this manual,
have the ATV inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
