PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

lever free play

There should be no free play at the brake
lever end. If there is free play, have a

A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of air
in the hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the
braking performance, which may re-
sult in loss of control and an acci-
dent.
