PLEASE READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY
AND COMPLETELY BEFORE OPERATING
THIS MOTORCYCLE.
Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which
can give you an unsurpassed feeling of
power and freedom. However, they also
impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle does not ignore the laws of physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving your motorcycle’s value
and operating condition. Moreover, what is
true for the motorcycle is also true for the
rider: good performance depends on being
in good shape. Riding under the influence
of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of
course, out of the question. Motorcycle riders - more than car drivers - must always
be at their mental and physical best. Under
the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the
motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car
drivers and passengers. Always wear a
complete motorcycle suit (whether made
of leather or tear-resistant synthetic materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet.
Optimum protective wear, however, should
not encourage carelessness. Though fullcoverage helmets and suits, in particular,
create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable. Riders who lack critical self-control run
the risk of going too fast and are apt to
take chances. This is even more dangerous
in wet weather. The good motorcyclist
rides safely, predictably and defensively avoiding all dangers, including those
caused by others. Enjoy your ride!

EAH20304
Spark plug inspection
The spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark plug can indicate the
condition of the engine. The ideal color on
the white insulator around the center electrode is a medium-to-light tan color for a
motorcycle that is being ridden normally.
Do not attempt to diagnose any problems
yourself. Instead, take the motorcycle to a
Yamaha dealer. You should periodically remove and inspect the spark plug because
heat and deposits will cause the spark plug
to slowly break down and erode. If electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon and other deposits are excessive, you
should replace the spark plug with the
specified plug.
49
Spark plug gap:
0.6–0.7 mm
Spark plug torque:
12.5 Nm (1.25 m•kg)
Before installing the spark plug, measure
the electrode gap with a wire thickness
gauge; adjust the gap to specification as
necessary.
When installing the plug, always clean the
gasket surface and use a new gasket. Wipe
off any grime from the threads and tighten
the spark plug to the specified torque.
EUU03801
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when
you are installing a spark plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn
past finger tight. Have the spark plug
torqued to the correct value as soon as
possible with a torque wrench.

A soft or spongy feeling in the brake lever
can indicate the presence of air in the hydraulic system. If there is air in the hydraulic system, have a Yamaha dealer
bleed the system before operating the motorcycle. Air in the hydraulic system will
diminish the braking performance, which
may result in loss of control and an accident.

EAU00732
Checking the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly causing it
to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the minimum level mark and replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid level
may indicate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage. If the brake level is low, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.
55
Observe these precautions:
8When checking the fluid level, make
sure that the top of the master cylinder is level by turning the handlebars.
8Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leakage and
poor braking performance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be
used.
8Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and lead to
poor braking performance.
8Be careful that water does not enter
the master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and may result in
vapor lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always clean
up spilled fluid immediately.
8As the brake pads wear, it is normal
for the brake fluid level to gradually
go down. However, if the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause.
56
EAU03238
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the brake
fluid at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, have the oil seals of the brake master cylinder and caliper as well as the brake
hose replaced at the intervals listed below
or whenever they are damaged or leaking.
8Oil seals: Replace every two years.
8Brake hose: Replace every four years.

Drive chain lubrication
The chain consists of many parts which
work with each other. If the chain is not
maintained properly, it will wear out quickly. Therefore, the chain must be serviced
regularly. This service is especially necessary when riding in dusty areas.
1. Use any of the many brands of chain
lubricant. First, remove all dirt and
mud from the chain with a brush or
cloth, then apply lubricant between
both rows of side plates and on all
center rollers. The chain should be lubricated every 500 km.
2. If the chain is too dirty or rusty, take
the motorcycle for repair.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles receive a
rigid inspection before shipment from the
factory, trouble may occur during operation. If your motorcycle requires any repair,
bring it to a Yamaha dealer. The skilled
technicians at a Yamaha dealership have
the tools, experience, and know-how to
properly service your motorcycle. Use only
genuine Yamaha parts on your motorcycle.
Imitation parts may look like Yamaha parts,
but they are often inferior. Consequently,
they have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.

CLEANING AND
STORAGE
EAK01302*
A. CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your motorcycle will not only enhance its appearance but will improve its general performance and extend the useful life of many
components.
1. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose.
EUU34602
cC
Excessive hose pressure may cause water
seepage and deterioration of wheel bearings, front fork, brakes, transmission seals
and electrical parts.
2. After cleaning the motorcycle, dry all
surfaces with a chamois, clean towel,
or soft absorbent cloth.
3. Dry the chain and lubricate it to prevent rust.
4. Automotive-type wax may be applied
to all painted and chrome-plated surfaces. When finished, start the engine
and let it idle for several minutes.
EAK00700
B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of
your motorcycle will require some preventive procedures to guard against deterioration. After thoroughly cleaning the motorcycle, prepare for storage as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and carburetor float bowl(s).
2. Remove the empty fuel tank, pour a
cup of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor oil
in the tank, shake the tank to coat the
inner surfaces thoroughly and drain
off the excess oil. Reinstall the tank.
69
3. Remove the drive chain. Thoroughly
clean the chain with solvent and lubricate it. Reinstall the chain or store it in
a plastic bag (tied to frame for safekeeping).
4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
7. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmosphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil
to any rubber parts or the seat cover.
8. Remove the battery and charge it.
Store it in a dry place and recharge it
once a month. Do not store the battery in an excessively warm or cold
place (less than 0°C (32°F) or more
than 30°C (86°F)).
