@
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the brake system. This air
must be removed by bleeding the
brake system before the motorcycle
is operated. Air in the system will
cause greatly diminished braking
capability and can result in loss of
EAU01746
control and an accident. Have a
Yamaha dealer inspect and bleed
the system if necessary.
