    5.5 Unscrew the banjo bolt (arrow);
    
    theres a sealing washer on each side of
    
    the fitting 
    5.6 Remove the mounting bolts (arrows);
    
    note the position of the UP mark, which
    
    must be upright when the master cylinder
    
    is installed 
    5.7a Remove the locknut from the
    
    lever pivot bolt...
    
    Removal
    
    5 Remove the wheel (see Section 11 for front wheel removal or
    
    Section 12 for rear wheel removal). Caution: Dont lay the wheel down
    
    and allow it to rest on the disc - the disc could become warped. Set the
    
    wheel on wood blocks so the disc doesnt support the weight of the
    
    wheel.
    
    6 Mark the relationship of the disc to the wheel, so it can be
    
    installed in the same position. Bend back the lockwasher tabs and
    
    remove the bolts that retain the disc to the wheel (see illustration
    
    2.3c). Loosen the bolts a little at a time, in a criss-cross pattern, to
    
    avoid distorting the disc. Once all the bolts are loose, take the disc off.
    
    7 Take note of any paper shims that may be present where the disc
    
    mates to the wheel. If there are any, mark their position and be sure to
    
    include them when installing the disc.
    
    Installation
    
    8 Position the disc on the wheel, aligning the previously applied
    
    match marks (if youre reinstalling the original disc). Make sure the
    
    arrow (stamped on the disc) marking the direction of rotation is
    
    pointing in the proper direction.
    
    9 Apply a non-hardening thread locking compound to the threads
    
    of the bolts. Install the bolts with new lockwashers, tightening them a
    
    little at a time, in a criss-cross pattern, until the torque listed in this
    
    Chapters Specifications is reached. Clean off all grease from the
    
    brake disc using acetone or brake system cleaner.
    
    10 Install the wheel.
    
    11 Operate the brake lever several times to bring the pads into
    
    contact with the disc. Check the operation of the brakes carefully
    
    before riding the motorcycle.
    
    5 Front brake master cylinder - removal, overhaul and
    
    installation
    
    1 If the master cylinder is leaking fluid, or if the lever does not
    
    produce a firm feel when the brake is applied, and bleeding the brakes
    
    does not help, master cylinder overhaul is recommended. Before
    
    disassembling the master cylinder, read through the entire procedure
    
    and make sure that you have the correct rebuild kit. Also, you will need
    
    some new, clean brake fluid of the recommended type, some clean
    
    rags and internal snap-ring pliers. Note: To prevent damage to the
    
    paint from spilled brake fluid, always cover the top cover or upper fuel
    
    tank when working on the master cylinder.
    
    2 Caution: Disassembly, overhaul and reassembly of the brake
    
    master cylinder must be done in a spotlessly clean work area to avoid 
    contamination and possible failure of the brake hydraulic system
    
    components.
    
    Removal
    
    Refer to illustrations 5.5 and 5.6
    
    3 Loosen but do not remove the screws holding the reservoir cover
    
    in place (see illustration 3.2b).
    
    4 Disconnect the electrical connectors from the brake light switch
    
    (see Chapter 8).
    
    5 Pull back the rubber boot (if equipped), loosen the banjo fitting
    
    bolt (see illustration) and separate the brake hose from the maste
    
    cylinder. Wrap the end of the hose in a clean rag and suspend the hose
    
    in an upright position or bend it down carefully and place the open end
    
    in a clean container. The objective is to prevent excessive loss of brake
    
    fluid, fluid spills and system contamination.
    
    6 Remove the master cylinder mounting bolts (see illustration) and
    
    separate the master cylinder from the handlebar. Caution: Do not tip
    
    the master cylinder upside down or brake fluid will run out.
    
    Overhaul
    
    Refer to illustrations 5.7a, 5.7b, 5.7c, 5.9, 5.10a and 5.10b
    
    7 Remove the locknut and unscrew the brake lever pivot bolt (see
    
    illustrations). Remove the lever and its return spring (see illustration).
    
    8 Detach the top cover and the rubber diaphragm, then drain the
    
    brake fluid into a suitable container. Remove the splash plate from the
    
    bottom of the reservoir (if equipped), then wipe any remaining fluid out
    
    of the reservoir with a clean rag.
    
    9 Carefully remove the rubber dust boot from the end of the piston
    
    (see illustration).
    
    10 Using snap-ring pliers, remove the snap-ring (see illustration)
    
    and slide out the piston assembly and the spring (see illustration). Lay
    
    the parts out in the proper order to prevent confusion during
    
    reassembly.
    
    11 Clean all of the parts with brake system cleaner (available at
    
    motorcycle dealerships and auto parts stores), isopropyl alcohol or
    
    clean brake fluid. Caution: Do not, under any circumstances, use a
    
    petroleum-based solvent to clean brake parts. If compressed air is
    
    available, use it to dry the parts thoroughly (make sure its filtered and
    
    unlubricated). Check the master cylinder bore for corrosion, scratches,
    
    nicks and score marks. If damage is evident, the master cylinder must
    
    be replaced with a new one. If the master cylinder is in poor condition,
    
    then the calipers should be checked as well.
    
    12 The dust seal, piston assembly and spring are included in the
    
    rebuild kit. Use all of the new parts, regardless of the apparent
    
    condition of the old ones.
    
    13 Before reassembling the master cylinder, soak the piston and the

    Lubricate the master cylinder bore with clean brake fluid, then carefully
    
    insert the piston and related parts in the reverse order of disassembly.
    
    Make sure the lips on the cup seals do not turn inside out when they
    
    are slipped into the bore.
    
    14 Depress the piston, then install the snap-ring (make sure the
    
    snap-ring is properly seated in the groove). Install the rubber dust boot
    
    (make sure the lip is seated properly in the piston groove).
    
    Installation
    
    15 Attach the master cylinder to the handlebar, making sure the UP
    
    mark is upright, and tighten the bolts to the torque listed in this
    
    Chapters Specifications.
    
    16 Connect the brake hose to the master cylinder, using new sealing
    
    washers. Tighten the banjo fitting bolt to the torque listed in this
    
    Chapters Specifications. Fill the master cylinder with the
    
    recommended brake fluid (see Chapter 1), then refer to Section 8 and
    
    bleed the air from the system.

    6.12 The assembled brake panel should look like this
    
    3 Lift the brake panel out of the wheel (see illustration).
    
    4 Fold the shoes toward each other to release the spring tension
    
    (see illustration). Remove the shoes and springs from the brake panel
    
    (see illustration).
    
    Shoe inspection
    
    Refer to illustrations 6.8a and 6.8b
    
    5 Check the linings for wear, damage and signs of contamination
    
    from road dirt and water. If the linings are visibly defective, replace
    
    them.
    
    6 Measure the thickness of the lining material (just the lining
    
    material, not the metal backing) and compare with the value listed in
    
    this Chapters Specifications. Replace the shoes if the lining material is
    
    worn to less than the minimum.
    
    7 Check the ends of the shoes where they contact the brake cam
    
    and pivot post. Replace the shoes if theres visible wear.
    
    8 Check the brake cam and pivot post for wear and damage. If
    
    necessary, make match marks on the cam and cam lever, then remove
    
    the pinch bolt, lever, wear indicator pointer, seal and cam (see
    
    illustrations).
    
    9 Check the brake drum (inside the wheel) for wear or damage.
    
    Measure the diameter at several points with a brake drum micrometer
    
    (or have this done by a Yamaha dealer). If the measurements are
    
    uneven (indicating the brake drum is out of round) or if there are
    
    scratches deep enough to snag a fingernail, have the drum turned 
    (skimmed) by a dealer to correct the surface. If the drum has to be
    
    turned (skimmed) beyond the wear limit to remove the defects, replace
    
    it.
    
    10 Check the brake cam for looseness in the brake panel hole. If it
    
    feels loose, replace the brake cam or panel, whichever is worn.
    
    Shoe installation
    
    Refer to illustration 6.12
    
    11 Apply high-temperature brake grease to the ends of the springs,
    
    the cam and the pivot post.
    
    12 Hook the springs to the shoes. Position the shoes in a V on the
    
    panel, then fold them down into position (see illustration 6.4a). Make
    
    sure the ends of the shoes fit correctly against the cam and on the
    
    pivot post (see illustration).

    installation
    
    Refer to illustrations 6.13, 6.14 and 6.15
    
    13 Push the brake lever forward and unscrew the adjuster nut (see
    
    illustration).
    
    14 Pull the cable forward, then slide it out of the slot to free it from
    
    the swingarm bracket (see illustration).
    
    15 Slide the cable out of the forward bracket (see illustration).
    
    Remove the cotter pin and clevis pin and detach the cable from the
    
    pedal arm.
    
    6.13 Unscrew the adjusting nut from the
    
    rear end of the brake cable 
    6.14 Pull the cable forward, then slide it
    
    through the slot in the swingarm bracket 
    6.15 Slide the cable through the slot in
    
    the forward bracket, then remove the
    
    cotter pin and clevis pin (upper arrow) to
    
    free it; unhook the brake pedal spring
    
    from its post (lower arrow), then from
    
    the pedal arm

    pedal arm.
    
    17 Installation is the reverse of the removal steps. Adjust the rear
    
    brake (see Chapter 1).
    
    7 Brake hose - inspection and replacement
    
    Inspection
    
    1 Once a week, or if the motorcycle is used less frequently, before
    
    every ride, check the condition of the brake hose.
    
    2 Twist and flex the rubber hoses (see illustration 3.2b) while
    
    looking for cracks, bulges and seeping fluid. Check extra carefully
    
    around the areas where the hoses connect with the banjo fittings, as
    
    these are common areas for hose failure.
    
    3 Inspect the metal banjo fittings connected to brake hoses. If the
    
    fittings are rusted, scratched or cracked, replace them.
    
    Replacement
    
    4 The brake hose has a banjo fitting on each end of the hose. Cover
    
    the surrounding area with plenty of rags and unscrew the union bolt on
    
    either end of the hose. Detach the hose from any clips that may be
    
    present (see illustration 3.2b) and remove the hose.
    
    5 Position the new hose, making sure it isnt twisted or otherwise
    
    strained, between the two components. Install the union bolts, using
    
    new sealing washers on both sides of the fittings, and tighten them to
    
    the torque listed in this Chapters Specifications.
    
    6 Flush the old brake fluid from the system, refill the system with
    
    the recommended fluid (see Chapter 1) and bleed the air from the
    
    system (see Section 8). Check the operation of the front brake carefully
    
    before riding the motorcycle.
    
    8 Brake system bleeding
    
    Refer to illustration 8.5
    
    1 Bleeding the brake is simply the process of removing all the air
    
    bubbles from the brake fluid reservoirs, the lines and the brake
    
    calipers. Bleeding is necessary whenever a brake system hydraulic
    
    connection is loosened, when a component or hose is replaced, or
    
    when the master cylinder or caliper is overhauled. Leaks in the system
    
    may also allow air to enter, but leaking brake fluid will reveal their
    
    presence and warn you of the need for repair.
    
    2 To bleed the brakes, you will need some new, clean brake fluid of
    
    the recommended type (see Chapter 1), a length of clear vinyl or
    
    plastic tubing, a small container partially filled with clean brake fluid, 
    some rags and a wrench to fit the brake caliper bleeder valves.
    
    3 Cover the top cover or upper fuel tank and other painted
    
    components to prevent damage in the event that brake fluid is spilled.
    
    4 Remove the reservoir cap or cover and slowly pump the brake
    
    lever a few times, until no air bubbles can be seen floating up from the
    
    holes at the bottom of the reservoir. Doing this bleeds the air from the
    
    master cylinder end of the line. Reinstall the reservoir cap or cover.
    
    5 Slip a box wrench (ring spanner) over the caliper bleed valve (see
    
    illustration). Attach one end of the clear vinyl or plastic tubing to the
    
    bleed valve and submerge the other end in the brake fluid in the
    
    container.
    
    6 Remove the reservoir cover and check the fluid level. Do not allow
    
    the fluid level to drop below the lower mark during the bleeding
    
    process.
    
    7 Carefully pump the brake lever three or four times and hold it
    
    while opening the caliper bleeder valve. When the valve is opened,
    
    brake fluid will flow out of the caliper into the clear tubing and the lever
    
    will move toward the handlebar.
    
    8 Retighten the bleed valve, then release the brake lever gradually.
    
    Repeat the process until no air bubbles are visible in the brake fluid
    
    leaving the caliper and the lever-is firm when applied. Note: Remember
    
    to add fluid to the reservoir as the level drops. Use only new, clean
    
    brake fluid of the recommended type. Never re-use the fluid lost during
    
    bleeding.
    
    9 Replace the reservoir cover, wipe up any spilled brake fluid and
    
    check the entire system for leaks. Note: If bleeding is difficult, it may
    
    be necessary to let the brake fluid in the system stabilize for a few
    
    hours (it may be aerated). Repeat the bleeding procedure when the tiny
    
    bubbles in the system have settled out.
    
    9 Wheels - inspection and repair
    
    Refer to illustration 9.2
    
    1 Clean the wheels thoroughly to remove mud and dirt that may
    
    interfere with the inspection procedure or mask defects. Make a
    
    general check of the wheels and tires as described in Chapter 1.
    
    2 Support the bike securely so it cant be knocked over during this
    
    procedure. Place a jack beneath the engine to raise the front wheel off
    
    the ground, or beneath the frame to raise the rear wheel off the ground.
    
    Attach a dial indicator to the fork slider or the swingarm and position
    
    the stem against the side of the rim. Spin the wheel slowly and check
    
    the side-to-side (axial) runout of the rim, then compare your readings
    
    with the value listed in this Chapters Specifications (see illustration).
    
    In order to accurately check radial runout with the dial indicator, the
    
    wheel would have to be removed from the machine and the tire
    
    removed from the wheel. With the axle clamped in a vise, the wheel 
    						
    							
    Chapter 6 Part A Brakes, wheels and tires (XV535 models)
    
    6A-11
    
    11.3b ... and unscrew the axle
    
    can be rotated to check the runout.
    
    3 An easier, though slightly less accurate, method is to attach a stiff
    
    wire pointer to the fork or the swingarm and position the end a fraction
    
    of an inch from the wheel (where the wheel and tire join). If the wheel is
    
    true, the distance from the pointer to the rim will be constant as the
    
    wheel is rotated. Repeat the procedure to check the runout of the rear
    
    wheel. Note: If wheel runout is excessive, refer to the appropriate
    
    Section in this Chapter and check the wheel bearings very carefully
    
    before replacing the wheel or paying to have it trued.
    
    4 The wheels should also be visually inspected for cracks, flat spots
    
    on the rim, bent spokes and other damage.
    
    5 Tap the spokes with a metal screwdriver blade or similar tool and
    
    listen to the sound. If the spoke makes a clunk or low-pitched sound,
    
    its loose. Refer to Chapter 1 for spoke tightening procedures.
    
    6 If damage is evident, or if runout in either direction is excessive,
    
    the wheel will have to be trued or. if damage is severe, replaced with a
    
    new one.
    
    10 Wheels - alignment check
    
    1 Misalignment of the wheels, which may be due to a cocked rear
    
    wheel or a bent frame or triple clamps, can cause strange and possibly
    
    serious handling problems. If the frame or triple clamps are at fault,
    
    repair by a frame specialist or replacement with new parts are the only
    
    alternatives.
    
    2 To check the alignment you will need an assistant, a length of
    
    string or a perfectly straight piece of wood and a ruler graduated in
    
    1/64 inch increments. A plumb bob or other suitable weight will also be
    
    required.
    
    3 Support the motorcycle in a level position, then measure the
    
    width of both tires at their widest points. Subtract the smaller
    
    measurement from the larger measurement, then divide the difference
    
    by two. The result is the amount of offset that should exist between the
    
    front and rear tires on both sides.
    
    4 If a string is used, have your assistant hold one end of it about half
    
    way between the floor and the rear axle, touching the rear sidewall of
    
    the tire.
    
    5 Run the other end of the string forward and pull it tight so that it is
    
    roughly parallel to the floor. Slowly bring the string into contact with the
    
    front sidewall of the rear tire, then turn the front wheel until it is parallel
    
    with the string. Measure the distance from the front tire sidewall to the
    
    string.
    
    6 Repeat the procedure on the other side of the motorcycle. The
    
    distance from the front tire sidewall to the string should be equal on
    
    both sides.
    
    7 - As was previously pointed out, a perfectly straight length of wood
    
    may be substituted for the string. The procedure is the same.
    
    8 If the distance between the string and tire is greater on one side,

    or if the rear wheel appears to be cocked, refer to Chapter 5, Swingarm
    
    bearings - check, and make sure the swingarm is tight.
    
    9 If the front-to-back alignment is correct, the wheels still may be
    
    out of alignment vertically.
    
    10 Using the plumb bob, or other suitable weight, and a length of
    
    string, check the rear wheel to make sure it is vertical. To do this, hold
    
    the string against the tire upper sidewall and allow the weight to settle
    
    just off the floor. When the string touches both the upper and lower tire
    
    sidewalls and is perfectly straight, the wheel is vertical.
    
    11 Once the rear wheel is vertical, check the front wheel in the same
    
    manner. If both wheels are not perfectly vertical, the frame and/or
    
    major suspension components are bent.

    13 Wheel bearings - inspection and maintenance
    
    1 Support the bike securely so it cant be knocked over during this
    
    procedure and remove the wheel. See Section 11 (front wheel) or 12
    
    (rear wheel).
    
    2 Set the wheel on blocks so as not to allow the weight of the wheel
    
    to rest on the brake disc or hub.
    
    Front wheel bearings
    
    Refer to illustrations 13.3, 13.4a, 13.4b, 13.4c, 13.4d, 13.5, 13.6, 13.7,
    
    13.10a, 13.10b, 13.10c, 13.11a, 13.11b, 13.12a, 13.12b and 13.12c
    
    3 From the right side of the wheel, lift out the collar (if you havent
    
    already done so - see illustrations 11.4 and 11.5a), then pry out the
    
    grease sea! (see illustration). 
    						
    							
    6A-14 
    Chapter 6 Part A Brakes, wheels and tires (XV535 models)
    
    13.4a Pry the grease seal loose ... 
    13.4b ... and lift it out 
    13.4c Lift out the speedometer
    
    clutch retainer ...
    
    13.4d ... and the speedometer clutch 
    13.5 Drive out the opposite bearing with a
    
    long rod 
    13.6 Lift out the spacer
    
    13.7 Drive out the remaining bearing 
    13.10a Drive in the bearing with a
    
    socket or bearing driver that contacts the
    
    outer race ... 
    13.10b The installed bearing should loc
    
    like this
    
    4 From the left side of the wheel, lift out the speedometer drive unit
    
    (if you havent already done so - see illustration 11.5b), then pry out
    
    the grease seal (see illustration). Lift out the speedometer clutch
    
    retainer and speedometer clutch (see illustrations).
    
    5 Using a metal rod (preferably a brass drift punch) inserted through
    
    the center of the hub bearing, tap evenly around the inner race of the
    
    opposite bearing to drive it from the hub (see illustration).
    
    6 Turn the wheel over and remove the bearing spacer (see
    
    illustration).
    
    7 Turn the wheel back over and remove the remaining bearing using 
    the same technique (see illustration).
    
    8 Clean the bearings with a high flash-point solvent (one which
    
    wont leave any residue) and blow them dry with compressed air (dont
    
    let the bearing spin as you dry them). Apply a few drops of oil to the
    
    bearing. Hold the outer race of the bearing and rotate the inner race - if
    
    the bearing doesnt turn smoothly, has rough spots or is noisy, replace
    
    it with a new one.
    
    9 If the bearing checks out okay and will be re-used, wash it in
    
    solvent once again and dry it, then pack the bearing with high-quality
    
    bearing grease.

    closed side out 
    13.11a Install the spacer
    
    13.11b Drive in the remaining bearing
    
    13.12a Install the speedometer clutch ...
    
    13.12b ... and its retainer 
    13.12c Install the remaining grease seal
    
    10 Thoroughly clean the hub area of the wheel. Install the bearing
    
    into the recess in the hub, with the marked or sealed side facing out.
    
    Using a bearing driver or a socket large enough to contact the outer
    
    race of the bearing, drive it in (see illustration) until its completely
    
    seated (see illustration). Install a new grease seal on top of the
    
    bearings with its closed side out (see illustration). It should be
    
    possible to push the seal in with even finger pressure, but if necessary
    
    use a seal driver, large socket or a flat piece of wood to drive the seal
    
    into place.
    
    11 Turn the wheel over and install the bearing spacer and bearing,
    
    driving the bearing into place as described in Step 10 (see
    
    illustrations).
    
    12 Install the speedometer clutch and retainer on the left side of the
    
    wheel, then install the grease seal (see illustrations).
    
    13 Install the speedometer drive unit, making sure the lugs in the
    
    speedometer clutch align with the notches in the gear (see illustra-
    
    tion 11.8).
    
    14 Clean off all grease from the brake disc using acetone or brake
    
    system cleaner.
    
    15 Make sure the collar is in place (see illustration 11.5a) and install
    
    the wheel.
    
    Rear wheel bearings
    
    Refer to illustrations 13.16a through 13.161
    
    16 If necessary for inspection, the dust seal and clutch hub can be
    
    detached from the wheel (see illustration 6.8b and the accompany-
    
    ing illustrations). The rear wheel bearings can be removed and
    
    installed with these parts in place. 
    13.16a The dust seal is secured by four screws and the clutch
    
    hub by five bolts
    
    17 Rear wheel bearing removal, inspection and installation are
    
    generally the same as for front wheel bearings (see Steps 5 through 11
    
    above and the accompanying illustrations). On installation, be sure to
    
    install the spacer and its collar between the bearings. Apply non-
    
    permanent thread locking agent to the threads of the clutch hub bolts
    
    and tighten them to the torque listed in this Chapters Specifications.
