haha PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 3-14 WARNING EWA23P1036 Use only the designated brake fluid. Other brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to deteriorate, causing leakage and poor brake performance. Refill with the same type of brake fluid that is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction, leading to poor brake performance. When refilling, be careful that water does not enter the brake master cylinder reser- voir or brake fluid reservoir. Water will sig- nificantly lower the boiling point of the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock. NOTICE ECA13540 Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up any spilt brake fluid immediately. TIP In order to ensure a correct reading of the brake fluid level, make sure the tops of the brake mas- ter cylinder reservoir and brake fluid reservoir are horizontal. EAS23P1020 BLEEDING THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) WARNING EWA14000 Always bleed the brake system when the brake related parts are removed. NOTICE ECA23P1037 Bleed the brake system in the following or- der. 1st step: Right front brake caliper 2nd step: Left front brake caliper 3rd step: Rear brake caliper WARNING EWA23P1011 Bleed the ABS whenever: the system is disassembled. a brake hose is loosened, disconnected or replaced. the brake fluid level is very low. brake operation is faulty. TIP Be careful not to spill any brake fluid or allow the brake master cylinder reservoir or brake fluid reservoir to overflow. When bleeding the ABS, make sure that there is always enough brake fluid before applying the brake. Ignoring this precaution could allow air to enter the ABS, considerably lengthening the bleeding procedure. If bleeding is difficult, it may be necessary to let the brake fluid settle for a few hours. Repeat the bleeding procedure when the tiny bubbles in the hose have disappeared. 1. Bleed: ABS ▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼ ▼▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼ ▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼▼ ▼ ▼▼▼▼ ▼▼▼ a. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir or brake fluid reservoir to the proper level with the specified brake fluid. b. Install the diaphragm (brake master cylinder reservoir or brake fluid reservoir). c. Connect a clear plastic hose “1” tightly to the bleed screw “2”. A. Front brake B. Rear brake a A a B
haha PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 3-15 d. Place the other end of the hose into a con- tainer. e. Slowly apply the brake several times. f. Fully squeeze the brake lever or fully depress the brake pedal and hold it in position. g. Loosen the bleed screw. TIP Loosening the bleed screw will release the pres- sure and cause the brake lever to contact the throttle grip or the brake pedal to fully extend. h. Tighten the bleed screw and then release the brake lever or brake pedal. i. Repeat steps (e) to (h) until all of the air bub- bles have disappeared from the brake fluid in the plastic hose. j. Check the operation of the hydraulic unit. Refer to “HYDRAULIC UNIT OPERATION TESTS ” on page 4-70. NOTICE ECA23P1038 Make sure that the main switch is turned to “ OFF ” before checking the operation of the hydraulic unit. k. After operating the ABS, repeat steps (e) to (i), and then fill the brake master cylinder res- ervoir or brake fluid reservoir to the proper level with the specified brake fluid. l. Tighten the bleed screw to specification. m. Fill the brake fluid reservoir to the proper level with the specified brake fluid. Refer to “ CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL” on page 3-13. WARNING EWA13110 After bleeding the hydraulic brake system, check the brake operation. ▲▲▲▲ ▲ ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ ▲ ▲ ▲▲▲▲ ▲ ▲▲▲▲ ▲ ▲▲▲▲ ▲▲▲ EAS21250 CHECKING THE FRONT BRAKE PADS The following procedure applies to all of the brake pads. 1.

haha PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 3-17 EAS21650 CHECKING THE TIRES The following procedure applies to both of the tires. 1. Check: Tire pressure Out of specification Regulate. WARNING EWA13180 The tire pressure should only be checked and regulated when the tire temperature equals the ambient air temperature. The tire pressure and the suspension must be adjusted according to the total weight (including cargo, rider, passenger and ac- cessories) and the anticipated riding speed. Operation of an overloaded vehicle could cause tire damage, an accident or an injury. NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHICLE. WARNING EWA13190 It is dangerous to ride with a worn-out tire. When the tire tread reaches the wear limit, re- place the tire immediately. 2. Check: Tire surfaces Damage/wear Replace the tire. 1 Tire air pressure (measured on cold tires) Loading condition0– 90 kg (0 –198 lb) Front 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm ², 33 psi) Rear 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm ², 36 psi) Loading condition 90– 209 kg (198– 461 lb) (USA) 90– 208 kg (198– 459 lb) (Califor- nia) Front 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm ², 33 psi) Rear 290 kPa (2.90 kgf/cm ², 42 psi) Maximum load (total weight of rider, passenger, cargo and ac- cessories) 209 kg (461 lb) (USA) 208 kg (459 lb) (California) 1.

haha PERIODIC MAINTENANCE 3-18 WARNING EWA14080 Do not use a tubeless tire on a wheel de- signed only for tube tires to avoid tire fail- ure and personal injury from sudden deflation. When using a tube tire, be sure to install the correct tube. Always replace a new tube tire and a new tube as a set. To avoid pinching the tube, make sure the wheel rim band and tube are centered in the wheel groove. Patching a punctured tube is not recom- mended. If it is absolutely necessary to do so, use great care and replace the tube as soon as possible with a good quality re- placement. WARNING EWA14090 After extensive tests, the tires listed below have been approved by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. for this model. The front and rear tires should always be by the same manufacturer and of the same design. No guarantee con- cerning handling characteristics can be giv- en if a tire combination other than one approved by Yamaha is used on this vehicle. WARNING EWA13210 New tires have a relatively low grip on the road surface until they have been slightly worn. Therefore, approximately 100 km should be traveled at normal speed before any high-speed riding is done. TIP For tires with a direction of rotation mark “1”: Install the tire with the mark pointing in the di- rection of wheel rotation. Align the mark “2” with the valve installation point.
