Re: brake adjustement
Under the floor mat is a access panel to get to the brake pedal. The adjuster is there. You will need 2 14mm wrenches.

Re: brake adjustement
Ill add to CGTechs answer- don't go too tight. Yamahas like to have some travel in there brake pedal. A couple of turns and give it a try to see if it holds.

Re: brake adjustement
I forgot about that part...... The top of the pedal should be able to move 1.75" with light pressure before pedal stops. Too tight will kill the brakes.

Re: brake adjustement
I have another brake question on my 2011 Yamaha drive, would you recommend changing the gear oil? would that help with braking also? I read where you should use Yamalube friction modified gear oil. 1.5 quarts. Just want to get some of your feedback and recommendations. thank you!

Re: brake adjustement
The differential fluid will need changed at some point. I check the look of the fluid at every service interval....If it starts to get dark and look like a ground up #2 pencil, change it. If you start to get noise right as the cart comes to a stop, change it, that's a sure sign the fluid is contaminated.
Yes you can use the yama lube, that will work. Other products will work also |

Re: brake adjustement
The service manual says every 4 years, but I consider that a minimum. Team axles with their internal brakes are pretty hard on the fluid. I actually think every 2 years would have been a better interval for that axle.
