Front brake pads
Each front brake pad is provided with
a wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear
without 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
disappeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.

Checking the brake fluid
level
Brake fluid level, checking
Insufficient 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 leak-
age.
