If the lining thickness of a brake shoe is
less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in), have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake
shoes as a set.
TIP
Be sure to measure the brake lining at
the thinnest portion.
Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in in-
ternal rusting and cause interfer-
ence with cable movement. Replace
damaged cables as soon as possi-
ble
tions.
