Brake fluid leakage (front brake)

Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of the

hose, joint or brake fluid reservoir of the front

brake. Apply the brake firmly for one minute. If the

lever moves slowly inward, there may be a leak in

the brake system. If there is any leakage, the brake

system should be checked by a Yamaha dealer.

Brake operation

Test the brakes at slow speed after starting out to

make sure they are working properly. If the brakes

do not provide proper braking performance, check

the brake pads and shoes for wear. (See page

8-25.)

WARNING

Throttle lever 

Check the operation of the throttle lever. It must

open smoothly and spring back to the idle position

when released. Have a Yamaha dealer correct if

necessary.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Riding with improperly operating brakes.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

You could lose braking ability, which could

lead to an accident.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Always check the brakes at the start of every

ride. Do not ride the ATV if you find any prob-

lem with the brakes. If a problem cannot be

corrected by the adjustment procedures pro-

vided in this manual, have a Yamaha dealer

check for the cause.
