Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking
out of the pipe joints or master cylinder.
Apply the brakes firmly for one minute. If

spected by a Yamaha dealer.

ing out to make sure they are working

lem with the brakes or you could lose braking
ability, which could lead to an accident. If a

ment procedures provided in this manual,
have the ATV inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
