I'd definitely say you need a fluid change, so may aswell put on the steel lines while your at it, some new pads in and then a caliper 'deep clean'. If that still doesn't help then a full caliper strip and rebuild with new seals. That will be about as good as the brakes can get.If it still doesn't seem to stop well then you may want to look into the suspension
Anyone on OEM brake lines should seriously get them replaced on safety grounds, Yamaha suggest a lifespan of 4 years for them !!!! Wezmoto on eBay is your best bet price-wise, exactly the same kit as Hel and the same lifetime warranty.
