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 main-
tenance and lubrication chart.
EBUM0190
Front brake pads
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. To
check the brake pad wear, check the wear indica-
tor 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.
TIP
The wheels need to be removed to check the
brake pads. (See page 8-41.)
EBU24190
Rear brake pads
Each brake pad is provided with a wear indicator,
which allows you to check the brake pad wear
without having to disassemble the brake. To check
the brake pad wear, check the position of the wear
indicator while applying the brake. If a brake pad
has worn to the point that the wear indicator almost
touches the brake disc, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.
