PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Checking the front and rear
brake pads
The front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.

1. Brake pad wear indicator
Each front brake pad is provided with a
wear indicator, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without hav-
ing 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
EAU22390 point that the wear indicator almost
touches the brake disc, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the brake pads as a set.
Rear brake pads
EAU22410
1. Lining thickness
Check each rear brake pad for damage
and measure the lining thickness. If a
brake pad is damaged or if the lining
thickness is less than 1.0 mm (0.04 in),
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.
