WARNING
@ A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the brake system. This air
must be removed by bleeding the
brake system before the motorcycle
is operated. Air in the system will
cause greatly diminished braking
capability and can result in loss of
control and an accident. Have a
Yamaha dealer inspect and bleed
the system if necessary. @
EAU00713
Brake light switch adjustmentThe rear brake light switch is activated
by the brake pedal and is properly ad-
justed when the brake light comes on
just before braking takes effect. To ad-
just the rear brake light switch, hold the
switch body so it does not rotate while
turning the adjusting nut. Turn the ad-
justing nut in direction a
to make the
brake light come on earlier.
Turn the adjusting nut in direction b
to
make the brake light come on later.1. Brake light switch

CAUTION:@ l
Avoid using strong acidic wheel
cleaners, especially on spoked
wheels. If you do use such
products for hard-to-remove
dirt, do not leave it on any long-
er than instructed, then thor-
oughly rinse it off with water,
immediately dry the area and
apply a corrosion protection
spray.
l
Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or
sponge with mild detergent and
water to clean plastic.
l
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake flu-
id, antifreeze or electrolyte.
l
Do not use high-pressure wash-
ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following ar-
eas: seals (of wheel bearings,
swingarm bearings, forks and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
l
For motorcycles equipped with
a windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-
shield. Test the product on a
small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure they do not
leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quali-
ty plastic polishing compound
after washing.
@After riding in the rain, near the sea oron salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads in the winter are extremely corro-
sive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride
in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads. (Salt sprayed in the
winter may remain on the roads well
into spring.)
