Front brake — introduction (Yamaha YZF-R1 Y(C))

Warning: Disc brake components rarely require disassembly. Therefore, always follow these preventive measures:

• Never disassemble brake components unless absolutely necessary.
• If any connection on the hydraulic brake system is disconnected, the entire brake system must be disassembled, drained, cleaned, properly filled, and bled after reassembly.
• Never use solvents on internal brake components.
• Use only clean or new brake fluid for cleaning brake components.
• Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
• Avoid brake fluid coming into contact with the eyes as it can cause serious injury.

First aid for brake fluid entering the eyes:

• Flush with water for 15 minutes and get immediate medical attention.
