cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean
up spilled fluid immediately.
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 sys-
tem leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. If the brake
fluid level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause before
further riding.
EAU22724
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, have the oil seals
of the brake master cylinder and caliper
as well as the brake hose replaced at
the intervals listed below or whenever
they are damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake hose: Replace every four
years.

Drive chain slack
The drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU59593To check the drive chain slack 1. Place the motorcycle on the cen- terstand.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position.
3. Push on the drive chain at the cen- ter point between the drive axle
and the rear wheel axle with a
force of 50 N (5.0 kgf, 11 lbf).
4. Measure the drive chain slack as shown.
5. If the drive chain slack is incorrect, adjust it as follows.
EAU59642To adjust the drive chain slack
Consult a Yamaha dealer before ad-
justing the drive chain slack.1. Take the motorcycle off the center- stand, and then put the sidestand
down.
2. Loosen the brake pedal free play adjusting nut, brake torque rod nut,
and axle nut.
3. Loosen the drive chain puller lock- nut at each end of the swingarm.
4. Place the motorcycle on the cen- terstand.
5. To tighten the drive chain, turn the drive chain slack adjusting bolt at
each end of the swingarm in direc-
tion (a). To loosen the drive chain,
turn the adjusting bolt at each end
of the swingarm in direction (b),
and then push the rear wheel for-
ward. NOTICE: Improper drive
chain slack will overload the en-
gine as well as other vital parts
of the motorcycle and can lead
to chain slippage or breakage.
To prevent this from occurring,
keep the drive chain slack with-
in the specified limits.[ECA10572]
TIP
Using the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both drive chain pullers are in the same
position for proper wheel alignment.

3. Thoroughly lubricate the drive chain with a special O-ring chain
lubricant. NOTICE: Do not use
engine oil or any other lubri-
cants for the drive chain, as they
may contain substances that
could damage the O-rings.
