EBU36060Differential gear oilCheck the oil level and change the differential
gear oil at the intervals specified in the gener-
al maintenance and lubrication chart.
Checking the differential gear oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then check the oil lev-
el. It should be up to the brim of the filler
hole.
3. If the level is low, add sufficient oil of therecommended type to raise it to the
specified level. NOTICE: Be sure no for-
eign material enters the differential
gear case.
[ECB00412]
4. Check the gasket for damage, and re- place it if necessary.
5. Install the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt
to the specified torque.1. Differential gear oil filler bolt

Changing the differential gear oil1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place an oil pan under the differential
gear case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt,
the differential gear oil drain bolt and their
gasket to drain the oil. 4. Install the differential gear oil drain bolt
and its new gasket, and then tighten the
bolt to the specified torque.
5. Refill the differential gear case with the recommended oil. NOTICE: Be sure no
foreign material enters the differential
gear case.
[ECB00412]
TIP GL-4 is a quality and additive rating; GL-5
rated hypoid gear oils may also be used.
 If desired, an SAE 80W-90 hypoid gear oil
may be used instead.

6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for dam-age, and replace it if necessary.
7. Install the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then tighten the bolt
to the specified torque.
8. Check for oil leakage. If oil leakage is found, check for the cause.EBU32990CoolantThe coolant level should be checked before
each ride.
Checking the coolant level
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
TIPThe coolant should be between the minimum
and maximum level marks. 3. If the coolant is at or below the minimumlevel mark, remove the coolant reservoir
cap, add coolant to the maximum level
mark, install the reservoir cap.

WARNING
EWB02721Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability. Observe these precau-
tions:
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, reducing brak-
ing performance. 
Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
 Use only the specified brake fluid; other-
wise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage.
 Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4
may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion.
 Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Wa-
ter will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
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 indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system 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.EBU32520Brake fluid replacementComplete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during pe riodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.
 Replace the oil seals every two years.
 Replace the brake hoses every four years.EBU32530Checking the brake pedalHave a Yamaha dealer check the brakes at
the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. There should be no free play in the brake pedal. The brakes
should operate smoothly
and there should be
no brake drag. If the brakes feel soft or
spongy, this could indicate air in the brake
system. Have a Yamaha dealer check the
brake system if necessary.
EBU32540Parking brake lever free play adjust-
mentPeriodically check the parking brake lever
free play and adjust it if necessary.1. Brake pedal
2. No brake pedal free play
