Checking the front brake pads (T105SE)
Front brake pad is provided with wear indi-
cator grooves. This indicator allow you to
check the brake pad wear without disas-
sembling the brake. To check the brake pad
wear, check the wear indicator grooves. If
the brake pad wear indicator grooves have
almost disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
EAU00732
Checking the brake fluid level (T105SE)
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly causing it
to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the minimum level mark and replen-
ish if necessary. A low brake fluid level
may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage. If the brake level is low, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.

Observe these precautions:
8When checking the fluid level, make
sure that the top of the master cylin-
der is level by turning the handlebars.
8Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor braking performance.
NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be
used.
8Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and lead to
poor braking performance.8Be careful that water does not enter
the master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boil-
ing point of the fluid and may result in
vapor lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean
up spilled fluid immediately.
8As the brake pads wear, it is normal
for the brake fluid level to gradually
go down. However, if the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

EAU03238
Changing the brake fluid (T105SE)
Have a Yamaha dealer change the brake
fluid at the intervals specified in the period-
ic maintenance and lubrication chart. In ad-
dition, have the oil seals of the brake mas-
ter cylinder and caliper as well as the brake
hose replaced at the intervals listed below
or whenever they are damaged or leaking.
8Oil seals: Replace every two years.
8Brake hose: Replace every four years.
