Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly caus-
ing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake flu-
id is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary.
A low brake fluid level may indicate
worn brake pads and/or brake system
leakage. If the brake fluid level is low,
be sure to check the brake pads for
wear and the brake system for leak-
age.
Observe these precautions:
●When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
brake fluid reservoir is level.
●Use only the recommended qual-
ity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, caus-
ing leakage and poor braking
performance.
●Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performance.
●Be careful that water does not en-
ter the brake fluid reservoir when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
●Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid imme-
diately.
●As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal 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:

4. Alignment marks
TIP
Using the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both chain pullers are in the same po-
sition for proper wheel alignment.
3. Tighten the axle nut, then the lock-
nuts to their specified torques.
Tightening torques:
Axle nut:
105 Nm (10.5 m·kgf, 75 ft·lbf)
Locknut:
16 Nm (1.6 m·kgf, 11 ft·lbf)
EAU34314
To adjust the drive chain slack
1. Loosen the axle nut and the lock-
nut on each side of the swingarm.
2. To tighten the drive chain, turn the
drive chain slack adjusting bolt on
each side of the swingarm in di-
rection (a). To loosen the drive
chain, turn the adjusting bolt on
each side of the swingarm in di-
rection (b), and then push the rear
wheel forward. NOTICE: Improp-
er drive chain slack will over-
load the engine 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 within the specified
limits.

●If the drive chain is difficult to re-
move, remove the wheel axle first,
and then lift the wheel upward
enough to remove the drive chain
from the rear sprocket.
●The drive chain cannot be disas-
sembled.
7. While supporting the brake
caliper bracket, pull the wheel
axle out, and then remove the
wheel. NOTICE: Do not apply
the brake after the wheel has
been removed together with
the brake disc, otherwise the
brake pads will be forced shut.

Engine overheatingEWA10400
WARNING0
●Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
●After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hiss-
ing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level
in the reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling
system for leakage.
The coolant level
is OK.
There is
leakage.
There is no
leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
Add coolant. (See TIP.)
