TABLE OF CONTENTS

SAFETY INFORMATION

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle’s owner, you are responsible for the safe and proper operation of your motorcycle. Motorcycles are single-track vehicles. Their safe use and operation are dependent upon the use of proper riding techniques as well as the expertise of the operator. Every operator should know the following requirements before riding this motorcycle. He or she should:

 Obtain thorough instructions from

a competent source on all aspects

of motorcycle operation.

 Observe the warnings and mainte-

nance requirements in this Own-

er’s Manual.

 Obtain qualified training in safe

and proper riding techniques.

 Obtain professional technical ser-

vice as indicated in this Owner’s

Manual and/or when made neces-

sary by mechanical conditions.

EAU1031C

 Never operate a motorcycle with-

out proper training or instruction. Take a training course. Beginners should receive training from a certified instructor. Contact an authorized motorcycle dealer to find out about the training courses nearest you.

Safe Riding

Perform the pre-operation checks each time you use the vehicle to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 4-1 for a list of pre-operation checks.

 This motorcycle is designed to

carry the operator and a passenger.

 The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of automobile/motorcycle accidents. Many accidents have been caused by an automobile driver who did not see the motorcycle. Making yourself conspicuous ap-

1-1

pears to be very effective in reducing the chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

• Use extra caution when you are approaching and passing through intersections, since intersections are the most likely places for motorcycle accidents to occur.

• Ride where other motorists can see you. Avoid riding in another motorist’s blind spot.

• Never maintain a motorcycle without proper knowledge. Contact an authorized motorcycle dealer to inform you on basic motorcycle maintenance. Certain maintenance can only be carried out by certified staff.

SAFETY INFORMATION

 Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.

• Make sure that you are qualified and that you only lend your motorcycle to other qualified operators.

• Know your skills and limits. Staying within your limits may help you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you practice riding your motorcycle where there is no traffic until you have become thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of its controls.

 Many accidents have been

caused by error of the motorcycle operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn due to excessive speed or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).

• Always obey the speed limit and never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.

• Always signal before turning or changing lanes. Make sure that other motorists can see you.

 The posture of the operator and

passenger is important for proper control.

• The operator should keep both hands on the handlebar and both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.

• The passenger should always hold onto the operator, the seat strap or grab bar, if equipped, with both hands and keep both feet on the passenger footrests. Never carry a passenger unless he or she can firmly place both feet on the passenger footrests.

 Never ride under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

Protective Apparel

The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.

 Always wear an approved helmet.

1-2

 Wear a face shield or goggles.

Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment of vision that could delay seeing a hazard.

 The use of a jacket, heavy boots,

trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing abrasions or lacerations.

 Never wear loose-fitting clothes,

otherwise they could catch on the control levers, footrests, or wheels and cause injury or an accident.

 Always wear protective clothing

that covers your legs, ankles, and feet. The engine or exhaust system become very hot during or after operation and can cause burns.

 A passenger should also observe

the above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-

less, tasteless gas which may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREATMENT.

 Do not run engine indoors. Even if

you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.

 Do not run engine in poorly venti-

lated or partially enclosed areas such as barns, garages, or carports.

 Do not run engine outdoors where

engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.

Adding accessories or cargo to your motorcycle can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight distribution of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution when adding cargo or accessories to your motorcycle. Use extra care when riding a motorcycle that has added cargo or accessories. Here, along with the information about accessories below, are some general guidelines to follow if loading cargo to your motorcycle: The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must not exceed the maximum load limit.

Operation of an overloaded vehicle could cause an accident.

Maximum load:

205 kg (452 lb)

When loading within this weight limit, keep the following in mind:

 Cargo and accessory weight

should be kept as low and close to the motorcycle as possible. Securely pack your heaviest items as

1-3

close to the center of the vehicle as possible and make sure to distribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the motorcycle to minimize imbalance or instability.

 Shifting weights can create a sud-

den imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints frequently.

• Properly adjust the suspension for your load (suspension-adjustable models only), and check the condition and pressure of your tires.

• Never attach any large or heavy items to the handlebar, front fork, or front fender. These items, including such cargo as sleeping bags, duffel bags, or tents, can create unstable handling or a slow steering response.

 This vehicle is not designed to

pull a trailer or to be attached to a sidecar.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Genuine Yamaha Accessories

Choosing accessories for your vehicle is an important decision. Genuine Yamaha accessories, which are available only from a Yamaha dealer, have been designed, tested, and approved by Yamaha for use on your vehicle. Many companies with no connection to Yamaha manufacture parts and accessories or offer other modifications for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a position to test the products that these aftermarket companies produce. Therefore, Yamaha can neither endorse nor recommend the use of accessories not sold by Yamaha or modifications not specifically recommended by Yamaha, even if sold and installed by a Yamaha dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and Modifications

While you may find aftermarket products similar in design and quality to genuine Yamaha accessories, recognize that some aftermarket accessories or modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket

products or having other modifications performed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicle’s design or operation characteristics can put you and others at greater risk of serious injury or death. You are responsible for injuries related to changes in the vehicle. Keep the following guidelines in mind, as well as those provided under “Loading” when mounting accessories.

 Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the performance of your motorcycle. Carefully inspect the accessory before using it to make sure that it does not in any way reduce ground clearance or cornering clearance, limit suspension travel, steering travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.

• Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improper weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories are added to the handlebar or

1-4

front fork area, they must be as lightweight as possible and should be kept to a minimum.

• Bulky or large accessories may seriously affect the stability of the motorcycle due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or the motorcycle may become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause instability when passing or being passed by large vehicles.

• Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or her normal riding position. This improper position limits the freedom of movement of the operator and may limit control ability, therefore, such accessories are not recommended.

 Use caution when adding electri-

cal accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the motorcycle’s electrical system, an electric failure could result, which could cause a dangerous loss of lights or engine power.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Aftermarket Tires and Rims

The tires and rims that came with your motorcycle were designed to match the performance capabilities and to provide the best combination of handling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 6-18 for tire specifications and more information on replacing your tires.

Transporting the Motorcycle

Be sure to observe following instructions before transporting the motorcycle in another vehicle.

 Remove all loose items from the

motorcycle.

 Check that the fuel cock (if

equipped) is in the “OFF” position and that there are no fuel leaks.

 Point the front wheel straight

ahead on the trailer or in the truck bed, and choke it in a rail to prevent movement.

 Shift the transmission in gear (for

models with a manual transmission).

 Secure the motorcycle with tie-

downs or suitable straps that are attached to solid parts of the motorcycle, such as the frame or upper front fork triple clamp (and not, for example, to rubber-mounted handlebars or turn signals, or parts that could break). Choose the location for the straps carefully so the straps will not rub against painted surfaces during transport.

 The suspension should be com-

pressed somewhat by the tiedowns, if possible, so that the motorcycle will not bounce excessively during transport.

Immobilizer system

1. Code re-registering key (red bow)

2. Standard keys (black bow)

This vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes in the standard keys. This system consists of the following:

 a code re-registering key (with a

red bow)

 two standard keys (with a black

bow) that can be re-registered with new codes

 a transponder (which is installed in

the code re-registering key)

 an immobilizer unit  an ECU

EAU10978

 an immobilizer system indicator

light (See page 3-6.) The key with the red bow is used to register codes in each standard key. Since re-registering is a difficult process, take the vehicle along with all three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have them re-registered. Do not use the key with the red bow for driving. It should only be used for re-registering the standard keys. Always use a standard key for driving.

ECA11822

 DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-

REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT

YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY

IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-

istering key is lost, registering

new codes in the standard keys

is impossible. The standard

keys can still be used to start

the vehicle, however if code re-

registering is required (i.e., if a

new standard key is made or all

keys are lost) the entire immobi-

lizer system must be replaced.

Therefore, it is highly recom-

mended to use either standard key and keep the code re-regis- tering key in a safe place.

 Do not submerse any key in wa-

ter.

 Do not expose any key to exces-

sively high temperatures.

 Do not place any key close to

magnets (this includes, but not limited to, products such as speakers, etc.).

only when riding in 3rd gear at speeds between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 100 km/h (62 mi/h), 4th gear at speeds between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 150 km/h (93 mi/h), or 5th or 6th gear at speeds between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 180 km/h (112 mi/h).

 Improper use of the cruise con-

trol system may result in loss of control, which could lead to an accident. Do not activate the cruise control system in heavy traffic, poor weather conditions, or among winding, slippery, hilly, rough or gravel roads.

 When traveling uphill or down-

hill, the cruise control system may not be able to maintain the set cruising speed.

cruise control setting switch down will increase or decrease the speed continuously until the switch is released.

You can also manually increase your traveling speed using the throttle. After you have accelerated, you can set a new cruising speed by pushing the “SET–” side of the setting switch. If you do not set a new cruising speed, when you return the throttle grip, the vehicle will decelerate to the previously set cruising speed.

Deactivating the cruise control system

Perform one of the following operations to cancel the set cruising speed. The “SET” indicator light will go off.

 Turn the throttle grip past the

closed position in the deceleration direction.

1. Closed position

2. Cruise control cancel direction

 Apply the front or rear brake.  Disengage the clutch.

Push the power switch to turn off the cruise control system. The “ ” indicator light and the “SET” indicator light will go off.

Traveling speed decreases as soon as the cruise control system is deactivated; unless the throttle grip is turned.

Using the resume function

Push the “RES+” side of the cruise control setting switch to reactivate the cruise control system. The traveling

speed will return to the previously set cruising speed. The “SET” indicator light will come on.

EWA16351

It is dangerous to use the resume function when the previously set cruising speed is too high for current conditions.

 The resume function operates

when riding in 3rd gear at speeds between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 100 km/h (62 mi/h), 4th gear at speeds between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 150 km/h (93 mi/h), or 5th or 6th gear at speeds between about 50 km/h (31 mi/h) and 180 km/h (112 mi/h).

 Pushing the power switch while

the system is operating will turn the system off completely and erase the previously set cruising speed. You will not be able to use the resume function until a new cruising speed has been set.

Automatic deactivation of the cruise control system The cruise control system for this model is electronically controlled and is linked with the other control systems. The cruise control system will auto-

matically become deactivated under the following conditions:

 The cruise control system is not

able to maintain the set cruising speed.

 Wheel slip or wheel spin is detect-

ed. (If the traction control system has not been turned off, the traction control system will work.)

 The start/engine stop switch is set

to the “ ” position.

 The engine stalls.  The sidestand is lowered.

When traveling with a set cruising speed, if the cruise control system is deactivated under the above conditions, the “ ” indicator light will go off and the “SET” indicator light will flash for 4 seconds, and then go off. When not traveling with a set cruising speed, if the start/engine stop switch is set to the “ ” position, the engine

stalls, or the sidestand is lowered, then the “ ” indicator light will go off (the “SET” indicator light will not flash). If the cruise control system is automatically deactivated, please stop and confirm that your vehicle is in good operating condition. Before using the cruise control system again, activate it using the power switch.

In some cases, the cruise control system may not be able to maintain the set cruising speed when the vehicle is traveling uphill or downhill.

 When the vehicle is traveling up-

hill, the actual traveling speed may become lower than the set cruising speed. If this occurs, accelerate to the desired traveling speed using the throttle.

 When the vehicle is traveling

downhill, the actual traveling speed may become higher than the set cruising speed. If this occurs, the setting switch cannot be used to adjust the set cruising speed. To reduce the traveling

speed, apply the brakes. When the brakes are applied, the cruise control system will become deactivated.

Brake lever

The brake lever is located on the right side of the handlebar. To apply the front brake, pull the lever toward the throttle grip. This model is equipped with a unified brake system. When pulling the brake lever, the front brake and a portion of the rear brake are applied. For full braking performance, apply both the brake lever and the brake pedal simultaneously. The unified brake system is monitored by an ECU, which disables unified braking and resumes conventional braking if a malfunction occurs.

 Resistance and vibration may be

felt in the brake pedal while the front brake is being applied and the unified brake system is enabled, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

 The unified brake system does not

function until the vehicle starts moving.

 After coming to a stop while ap-

plying the brake lever, the unified brake system is still enabled. As further squeezing of the brake lever will not increase the braking power of the rear brake, apply the rear brake should further braking power be necessary (such as when parking on a slope). The unified brake system disables after the brake lever is released. The brake system then reverts to the conventional type. When the vehicle starts moving, the unified brake system is re-enabled.

 The unified brake system does not

function when the brake pedal is applied alone or before the brake lever is applied.

The brake lever is equipped with a brake lever position adjusting dial. To adjust the distance between the brake lever and the throttle grip, turn the adjusting dial while holding the lever pushed away from the throttle grip.

ABS

The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) features a dual electronic control system, which acts on the front and rear brakes independently. Operate the brakes with ABS as you would conventional brakes. If the ABS is activated, a pulsating sensation may be felt at the brake lever or brake pedal. In this situation, continue to apply the brakes and let the ABS work; do not “pump” the brakes as this will reduce braking effectiveness.

EWA16051

Always keep a sufficient distance from the vehicle ahead to match the riding speed even with ABS.

 The ABS performs best with

long braking distances.

 On certain surfaces, such as

rough or gravel roads, the braking distance may be longer with the ABS than without.

The ABS is monitored by an ECU, which will revert the system to conventional braking if a malfunction occurs.

WARNING

 The ABS performs a self-diagno-

During this test, a “clicking” noise can be heard from under the seat, and if the brake lever or brake pedal is even slightly applied, a vibration can be felt at the lever and pedal, but these do not indicate a malfunction.

 This ABS has a test mode which

allows the owner to experience the pulsation at the brake lever or brake pedal when the ABS is operating. However, special tools are required, so please consult your Yamaha dealer.

ECA16831

Keep any type of magnets (including magnetic pick-up tools, magnetic screwdrivers, etc.) away from the front and rear wheel hubs; otherwise, the magnetic rotors equipped in the wheel hubs may be damaged,

Traction control system

The traction control system helps maintain traction when accelerating on slippery surfaces, such as unpaved or wet roads. If sensors detect that the rear wheel is starting to slip (uncontrolled spinning), the traction control system assists by regulating engine power as needed until traction is restored. The traction control system indicator/warning light flashes to let the rider know that traction control has engaged.

The rider may also notice slight changes in engine and exhaust sounds when the traction control system is engaged.

EWA15432

The traction control system is not a substitute for riding appropriately for the conditions. Traction control cannot prevent loss of traction due to excessive speed when entering turns, when accelerating hard at a sharp lean angle, or while braking, and cannot prevent front wheel slip-

ping. As with any motorcycle, approach surfaces that may be slippery with caution and avoid especially slippery surfaces.

There are three traction control system modes:

 “TCS 1”: Default mode  “TCS 2”: Sporty mode

This mode decreases traction control system assist, allowing the rear wheel to spin more freely than “TCS 1”.

 “TCS OFF”: The traction control

system is turned off. The system may also be automatically disabled in some riding conditions

(see “Resetting” on page 3-30). When the key is turned to “ON”, the traction control system is enabled and “TCS 1” is displayed in the multi-function meter. The traction control system mode can be changed only when the key is in the “ON” position and the vehicle is not moving.

Use the mode “TCS OFF” to help free the rear wheel if the motorcycle gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft surfaces.

ECA16801

Use only the specified tires. (See page 6-18.) Using different sized tires will prevent the traction control system from controlling tire rotation accurately.

Setting the traction control system

EWA15441

Be sure to stop the vehicle before making any setting changes to the traction control system. Changing settings while riding can distract the operator and increase the risk of an accident.

Push the “TCS” button on the multifunction meter for less than one second to change between the modes “1” and “2”. Push the button for at least two seconds to select the mode “TCS

OFF” and turn the traction control system off. Push the button again to return to the previously selected mode “1” or “2”.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

WARNING

TIP

EAU15952

Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to become familiar with all controls. If there is a control or function you do not understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.

EWA10272

Failure to familiarize yourself with the controls can lead to loss of control, which could cause an accident or injury.

This model is equipped with:

 a lean angle sensor to stop the en-

gine in case of a turnover. In this case, the display will indicate error code 30, but this is not a malfunction. Turn the key to “OFF” and then to “ON” to clear the error code. Failing to do so will prevent the engine from starting even though the engine will crank when pushing the start switch.

 an engine auto-stop system. The

engine stops automatically if left idling for 20 minutes. If the engine stops, simply push the start switch to restart the engine.

To shift the transmission into the neutral position, press the shift pedal down repeatedly until it reaches the end of its travel, and then slightly raise it.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

NOTICE

ECA10261

 Even with the transmission in

the neutral position, do not coast for long periods of time with the engine off, and do not tow the motorcycle for long dis- tances. The transmission is properly lubricated only when the engine is running. Inadequate lubrication may damage the transmission.

 Always use the clutch while

changing gears to avoid dam- aging the engine, transmission, and drive train, which are not designed to withstand the shock of forced shifting.

EAU16811

Tips for reducing fuel consumption

Fuel consumption depends largely on your riding style. Consider the following tips to reduce fuel consumption:

 Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.

 Do not rev the engine while shift-

ing down, and avoid high engine speeds with no load on the engine.

 Turn the engine off instead of let-

ting it idle for an extended length of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic lights or at railroad crossings).

EAU16842

Engine break-in

There is never a more important period in the life of your engine than the period between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For this reason, you should read the following material carefully. Since the engine is brand new, do not put an excessive load on it for the first 1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating clearances. During this period, prolonged full-throttle operation or any condition that might result in engine overheating must be avoided.

Checking the spark plugs

The spark plugs are important engine components, which should be checked periodically, preferably by a Yamaha dealer. Since heat and deposits will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, they should be removed and checked in accordance with the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, the condition of the spark plugs can reveal the condition of the engine. The porcelain insulator around the center electrode of each spark plug should be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color when the vehicle is ridden normally), and all spark plugs installed in the engine should have the same color. If any spark plug shows a distinctly different color, the engine could be operating improperly. Do not attempt to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle. If a spark plug shows signs of electrode erosion and excessive carbon or other deposits, it should be replaced.

Specified spark plug:

NGK/CPR8EB9

Before installing a spark plug, the spark plug gap should be measured with a wire thickness gauge and, if necessary, adjusted to specification.

1. Spark plug gap

Spark plug gap:

0.8–0.9 mm (0.031–0.035 in)

Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surface, and then wipe off any grime from the spark plug threads.

Engine oil and oil filter cartridge

The engine oil level should be checked before each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and the oil filter cartridge replaced at the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.

Do not use any tools to remove or install the spark plug cap, otherwise the ignition coil coupler may get

damaged. The spark plug cap may be difficult to remove because the

rubber seal on the end of the cap fits tightly. To remove the spark plug cap, simply twist it back and forth while pulling it out; to install it, twist it back and forth while pushing it in.

To check the engine oil level

1. Place the vehicle on the centerstand. A slight tilt to the side can result in a false reading.

2. Start the engine and warm it up for ten minutes until the engine oil has reached a normal temperature of 60 °C (140 °F), and then turn the engine off.

3. Wait a few minutes until the oil settles, and then check the oil level through the engine oil level check window located at the bottomright side of the crankcase.

The engine oil should be between the minimum and maximum level marks.

WARNING

Tire inspection

1. Tire sidewall

2. Tire tread depth

The tires must be checked before each ride. If the center tread depth reaches the specified limit, if the tire has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if the sidewall is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer replace the tire immediately.

Minimum tire tread depth (front and rear):

1.6 mm (0.06 in)

The tire tread depth limits may differ from country to country. Always comply with the local regulations.

EWA10472

 Have a Yamaha dealer replace

excessively worn tires. Besides being illegal, operating the vehicle with excessively worn tires decreases riding stability and can lead to loss of control.

 The replacement of all wheel

and brake-related parts, includ- ing the tires, should be left to a

Yamaha dealer, who has the

necessary professional knowledge and experience to do so.

 Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tire surface must first be “broken in” for it to develop its optimal characteristics.

This motorcycle is fitted with super- high-speed tires. Note the following points in order to make the most efficient use of these tires.

 Use only the specified replace-

ment tires. Other tires may run the danger of bursting at super high speeds.

 Brand-new tires can have a rel-

atively poor grip on certain road surfaces until they have been “broken in”. Therefore, it is ad- visable before doing any highspeed riding to ride conservatively for approximately 100 km (60 mi) after installing a new tire.

 The tires must be warmed up

before a high-speed run.

 Always adjust the tire air pres-

sure according to the operating conditions.

EAU49712

Spoke wheels

To maximize the performance, durability, and safe operation of your vehicle, note the following points regarding the specified wheels.

 The wheel rims should be

checked for cracks, bends, warpage or other damage, and the spokes for looseness or damage before each ride. If any damage is found, have a Yamaha dealer replace the wheel. Do not attempt even the smallest repair to the wheel. A deformed or cracked wheel must be replaced.

 The wheel should be balanced

whenever either the tire or wheel has been changed or replaced. An unbalanced wheel can result in poor performance, adverse handling characteristics, and a shortened tire life.

Clutch lever

Since this model is equipped with a hydraulic clutch, adjusting the clutch lever free play is not needed. However, it is necessary to check the hydraulic system for leakage before each ride. If the clutch lever free play does become excessive, and shifting becomes rough or clutch slippage occurs, causing poor acceleration, there may be air in the clutch system. If there is air in the hydraulic system, have a Yamaha dealer bleed the system before operating the motorcycle.

EAU37914

Checking the brake lever free play

1. No brake lever free play

There should be no free play at the brake lever end. If there is free play, have a Yamaha dealer inspect the brake system.

EWA14212

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 be- fore operating the vehicle. Air in the hydraulic system will diminish the

braking performance, which may result in loss of control and an accident.
