Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durability,
and safe operation of your motorcycle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.l
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage before
each ride. If any damage is found,
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
wheel. Do not attempt even the
smallest repair to the wheel. A
deformed or cracked wheel must be
replaced.
l
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in poor
performance, adverse handling
characteristics, and a shortened
tire life.
l
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire surface
must first be “broken in” for it to
develop its optimal characteristics.

measure 10.0 - 15.0 mm (0.39 - 0.59 in)
as shown. Periodically check the clutch
lever free play and, if necessary, adjust
it as follows.1. Loosen the locknut at the clutch lever.
2. To increase the clutch lever free play, turn the adjusting bolt in
direction (a). To decrease the clutch
lever free play, turn the adjusting
bolt in direction (b).
3. Tighten the locknut.
If the specified free play cannot be
obtained as described above or if the
clutch does not operate correctly, have
a Yamaha dealer check the internal
clutch mechanism.

positioned approximately 29 mm
(1.14 in) below the top of the footrest.
Periodically check the brake pedal
position and, if necessary, adjust it as
follows.1. Loosen the locknut at the brake pedal.
2. To raise the brake pedal, turn the adjusting bolt in direction (a). To
lower the brake pedal, turn the

Checking the front brake
fluid level
LOWERLOWER
UP
1
1. Minimum level markInsufficient 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
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 leakage.
Observe these precautions:l
When checking the fluid level, make
sure that the top of the master
cylinder is level by turning the
handlebars.
l
Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking
performance.Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be
used.l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and lead
to poor braking performance.
l
Be careful that water does not enter
the master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and may
result in vapor lock.
l
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
l
As 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.
EAU22720
Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the brake
fluid at the intervals specified in the
NOTE after the periodic maintenance
and lubrication 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.l
Oil seals: Replace every two years.
l
Brake hose: Replace every four
years.
