Brake pedal height adjustment
The top of the brake pedal should be positioned
4 mm below the top of the footrest. If not, have a
Yamaha dealer adjust it.
WARNING
_ Operating with improperly serviced or adjust-
ed brakes could cause loss of braking ability,
which could lead to an accident. After servic-
ing:

Make sure the brakes operate smoothly
and that the brake pedal position is cor-
rect.


Make sure the brakes do not drag.


Make sure the brakes are not spongy. All
air must be bled from the brake system.
Replacement of brake components requires
professional knowledge. These procedures
should be performed by a Yamaha dealer.
