Test the brake at a low speed when starting out to make
sure that it is working properly. If the brake does not pro-
vide proper braking performance, inspect the brake for
wear. (See page 8-14 for more details.)

Do not operate the snowmobile if you find any prob-
lems in the brake system. You could lose braking
ability, which could lead to an accident. Ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect and repair the brake sys-
tem.

CAUTION:

Make sure that the brake lever end does not project
out over the handlebar end. This is to prevent brake
lever damage when the snowmobile is placed on its
side.
