Front And Rear Brakes - Yamaha BANSHEE YFZ350N Owner's Manual

EBU00480

Front and rear brakes

1. Brake lever and brake pedal
Check for correct free play in the front
brake lever. If the free play is incorrect,
adjust it. Check for correct rear brake
pedal height. If the pedal height is incor-
rect, have a Yamaha dealer adjust it.
Check the operation of the lever and
pedal. They should move smoothly and
there should be a firm feeling when the
brakes are applied. If not, have the
machine inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
(See pages 8-31 ~ 8-32.)
2. Brake fluid level
Check the brake fluid level.
Add fluid if necessary. (See pages 8-29 ~
8-30.)
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be used.
3. Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking
out of the pipe joints or master cylinders.
Apply the brakes firmly for one minute. If
there is any leaking, have the machine
inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
4. Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after start-
ing out to make sure they are working
properly. If the brakes do not provide
proper braking performance, inspect the
brake pads for wear.
