PRE-OPERATION CHECKS EAU15591 The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences.
Coolant If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level. 6-10 Check cooling system for leakage. Check operation. If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system. Check brake pads for wear. Front brake Replace if necessary. 6-19, 6-20 Check fluid level in reservoir.
