brake pads
The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
EAU22420
Front brake pads
1. Front brake pad wear indicator groove
Each front brake pad is provided with
a wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator groove. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the
wear indicator groove has almost dis-
appeared, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.
EAU22500
Rear brake pads
1. Rear brake pad lining thickness
Check each rear brake pad for dam-
age and measure the lining thickness.
If a brake pad is damaged or if the lin-
ing thickness is less than 1.0 mm
(0.04 in), have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.
