ified in the periodic maintenance and

Front brake pads
The front brake calipers are equipped
with two sets of brake pads.
Each front brake pad is provided with
one or two wear indicator grooves,
which allow you to check the brake pad
wear without having to disassemble the
brake. To check the brake pad wear,
check the wear indicator grooves. If a
brake pad has worn to the point that a
wear indicator groove almost appears,
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.

wear indicator groove, which allows

indicator groove has almost disap-
peared, have a Yamaha dealer replace
