Q GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY

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.

1

Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your
motorcycle. 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. Although full-coverage 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!

YPVS

This model is equipped with the
YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve
System). This system boosts engine
performance and efficiency by means
of a variable valve in the exhaust
port. The YPVS valve is constantly
adjusted in accordance with the
engine speed by a computer-con­trolled servomotor.
Since the YPVS is an important part
of the engine and requires very
sophisticated adjustment, have a
Yamaha dealer, who has the neces­sary professional knowledge and
experience, make this adjustment.

EC000023

cC

The YPVS has been set and exten­sively tested at the Yamaha facto­ry. Changing these settings with­out sufficient technical knowledge
may result in poor performance of
or damage to the engine.

YPVS operation noises can be heard
in the following instances:

8 When the key is turned to “ON”

and the engine is started.

8 When the engine stalls with the

key in the “ON” position.

8 Become thoroughly familiar

with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func­tion that you do not thorough­ly understand.

8 Never start the engine or oper-

ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con­sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila­tion.

8 Before starting out, make sure

that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised com­pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera­tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.

check. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,
the spark plug should be removed

To check the spark plug

1. Check that the porcelain insula­tor around the center electrode
of the spark plug is a medium-to­light tan (the ideal color when the
motorcycle is ridden normally).

NOTE:

If the spark plug shows a distinctly
different color, the engine could be
defective. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
motorcycle.

2. Check the spark plug for elec­trode erosion and excessive car­bon or other deposits, and
replace it if necessary.

NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight.
However, the spark plug should be
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.

4. Install the spark plug cap.

Battery

This motorcycle is equipped with a
sealed-type (MF) battery, which does
not require any maintenance. There
is no need to check the electrolyte or
to add distilled water.

8 Electrolyte is poisonous and

dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes
severe burns. Avoid any con­tact with skin, eyes or clothing
and always shield your eyes
when working near batteries.
In case of contact, administer
the following FIRST AID.
9 EXTERNAL: Flush with

plenty of water.

9 INTERNAL: Drink large

quantities of water or milk
and immediately call a
physician.

9 EYES: Flush with water for

15 minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.

8 Batteries produce explosive

hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes,
etc., away from the battery and
provide sufficient ventilation
when charging it in an
enclosed space.

6

cle require any repair, take it to a
Yamaha dealer, whose skilled techni-

7

cians have the necessary tools,
experience, and know-how to service
the motorcycle properly.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

Care

While the open design of a motorcy­cle reveals the attractiveness of the
technology, it also makes it more vul­nerable. Rust and corrosion can
develop even if high-quality compo­nents are used. A rusty exhaust pipe
may go unnoticed on a car, however,
it detracts from the overall appear­ance of a motorcycle. Frequent and
proper care does not only comply
with the terms of the warranty, but it
will also keep your motorcycle looking
good, extend its life and optimize its
performance.

Before cleaning

1. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag after the engine has
cooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and cov­ers as well as all electrical cou­plers and connectors, including
the spark plug cap, are tightly
installed.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such
products onto seals, gaskets,
sprockets, the drive chain and
wheel axles. Always rinse the dirt
and degreaser off with water.

Cleaning

ECA00010

cC

8 Avoid using strong acidic

wheel cleaners, especially on
spoked wheels. If such prod­ucts are used on hard-to­remove dirt, do not leave the
cleaner on the affected area
any longer than instructed.
Also, thoroughly rinse the area
off with water, immediately dry
it, and then apply a corrosion
protection spray.

8 Improper cleaning can damage

windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or
sponge with mild detergent
and water to clean plastic.

sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abra­sive cleaning products, sol­vent or thinner, fuel (gasoline),
rust removers or inhibitors,
brake fluid, antifreeze or elec­trolyte.

8 Do not use high-pressure

washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water seep­age and deterioration in the
following areas: seals (of
wheel and swingarm bearings,
fork and brakes), electric com­ponents (couplers, connec­tors, instruments, switches
and lights), breather hoses
and vents.

8 For motorcycles equipped

with a windshield: Do not use
strong cleaners or hard
sponges as they will cause
dulling or scratching. Some
cleaning compounds for plas­tic may leave scratches on the
windshield. Test the product
on a small hidden part of the
windshield to make sure that it
does not leave any marks. If
the windshield is scratched,
use a quality plastic polishing
compound after washing.

After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,
and then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Use a toothbrush or bottle­brush for hard-to-reach areas.
Stubborn dirt and insects will come
off more easily if the area is covered
with a wet cloth for a few minutes
before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea
or on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on
roads during winter are extremely
corrosive in combination with water,
carry out the following steps after
each ride in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads.

NOTE:

Salt sprayed on roads in the winter
may remain well into spring.

1. Clean the motorcycle with cold
water and a mild detergent, after
the engine has cooled down.

ECA00012

cC

Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action of
the salt.

2. Apply a corrosion protection
spray on all metal, including
chrome- and nickel-plated, sur­faces to prevent corrosion.

7-2

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

After cleaning

1. Dry the motorcycle with a
chamois or an absorbing cloth.

2. Immediately dry the drive chain
and lubricate it to prevent it from
rusting.

3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless­steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally
induced discoloring of stainless­steel exhaust systems can be
removed through polishing.)

4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom­mended to apply a corrosion pro­tection spray on all metal, includ­ing chrome- and nickel-plated,
surfaces.

5. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner to remove any remaining
dirt.

6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.

7. Wax all painted surfaces.

8. Let the motorcycle dry complete­ly before storing or covering it.

EWA00001

w

8 Make sure that there is no oil

or wax on the brakes or tires.
If necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild
detergent.

8 Before operating the motorcy-

cle test its braking perfor­mance and cornering behav­ior.

Storage

Short-term

Always store your motorcycle in a
cool, dry place and, if necessary, pro­tect it against dust with a porous
cover.

cC

8 Storing the motorcycle in a

poorly ventilated room or cov­ering it with a tarp, while it is
still wet, will allow water and
humidity to seep in and cause
rust.

8 To prevent corrosion, avoid

7

damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi­cals are stored.

ECA00014

Long-term

Before storing your motorcycle for
several months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.

2. For motorcycles equipped with a
fuel cock that has an “OFF” posi­tion: Turn the fuel cock lever to
“OFF”.

3. Drain the carburetor float cham­ber by loosening the drain bolt;
this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the
drained fuel into the fuel tank.

4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and
the fuel from deteriorating.

5. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.

a. Remove the spark plug cap

and spark plug.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine

oil into the spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug cap onto

the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes
are grounded. (This will limit
sparking during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over several

times with the starter. (This
will coat the cylinder wall with
oil.)

e. Remove the spark plug cap

from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.

EWA00003

w

To prevent damage or injury from
sparking, make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while turn­ing the engine over.

7-4

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

6. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.

7. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, and then lift
the motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground.
Alternatively, turn the wheels a
little every month in order to pre­vent the tires from becoming
degraded in one spot.

8. Cover the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.

9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and charge it once a
month. Do not store the battery
in an excessively cold or warm
place (less than 0 °C) or more
than 30 °C). For more informa­tion on storing the battery, see
