Checking the front and rear
brake pads
The front and rear brake pads must
be checked for wear at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. Each brake pad
is provided with a wear indicator
groove, which allows you to check
the brake pad wear without having to
disassemble the brake.

wear indicator groove has almost dis-
appeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
