This manual was produced by MBK Industrie primarily for use by Yamaha dealers and their qualified mechanics. It is not possible to include all the knowledge of a mechanic in one manual. Therefore, anyone who uses this book to perform maintenance and repairs on Yamaha vehicles should
have a basic understanding of mechanics and the techniques to repair these types of vehicles.
Repair and maintenance work attempted by anyone without this knowledge is likely to render the
vehicle unsafe and unfit for use.
Yamaha is continually striving to improve all its models. Modifications and significant changes in
specifications or procedures will be forwarded to all authorized Yamaha dealers and will appear in
future editions of this manual where applicable.

each page indicate the current chapter.
Refer to “SYMBOLS”.
2
Each chapter is divided into sections. The current section title is shown at the top of each page,
except in Chapter 3 (“PERIODIC CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS”), where the sub-section
title(s) appears.
3
Sub-section titles appear in smaller print than the section title.
4
To help identify parts and clarify procedure steps, there are exploded diagrams at the start of
each removal and disassembly section.
5
Numbers are given in the order of the jobs in the exploded diagram. A circled number indicates a
disassembly step.
6
Symbols indicate parts to be lubricated or replaced.
Refer to “SYMBOLS”.
7
A job instruction chart accompanies the exploded diagram, providing the order of jobs, names of
parts, notes in jobs, etc.

OUTLINE
The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the optimum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric temperature. In a conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture that is supplied to the
combustion chamber is created by the volume of the intake air and the fuel that is metered by the jet
used in the respective chamber.
Despite the same volume of intake air, the fuel volume requirement varies with the engine operating
conditions, such as acceleration, deceleration, or operation under a heavy load. Carburetors that
meter the fuel through the use of jets have been provided with various auxiliary devices, so that an
optimum air-fuel ratio can be achieved to accommodate the constant changes in the operating conditions of the engine.
As the requirements for engines to deliver more performance and cleaner exhaust gases increase,
it becomes necessary to control the air-fuel ratio in a more precise and finely tuned manner. To
accommodate this need, this model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection (FI) system in place of a conventional carburetor system. This system can achieve an optimum air-fuel ratio
required by the engine at all times by using a microprocessor that regulates the fuel injection volume
according to the engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.
Adoption of the FI system has resulted in a highly precise fuel supply, improved engine response,
better fuel economy, and reduced exhaust emissions. Furthermore, the air induction system (AI system) has been placed under computer control together with the FI system in order to realize cleaner
exhaust gases.

FI SYSTEM
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator maintains the
fuel pressure that is applied to the injector at 324 kPa (3.24 kg/cm
manifold pressure. Accordingly, when the energizing signal from the ECU energizes the injector, the
fuel passage opens, causing the fuel to be injected into the intake manifold only during the time the
passage remains open. Therefore, the longer the length of time the injector is energized (injection
duration), the greater the volume of fuel that is supplied. Conversely, the shorter the length of time
the injector is energized (injection duration), the lesser the volume of fuel that is supplied.
The injection duration and the injection timing are controlled by the ECU. Signals that are input from
the throttle position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, intake air pressure sensor, intake air temperature sensor, and coolant temperature sensor enable the ECU to determine the injection duration. The injection timing is determined through the signal from the crankshaft position sensor. As a
result, the volume of fuel that is required by the engine can be supplied at all times in accordance
with the driving conditions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND
DISASSEMBLY
1. Before removal and disassembly, remove all
dirt, mud, dust and foreign material.
2. Use only the proper tools and cleaning
equipment.
Refer to “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
3. When disassembling, always keep mated
parts together. This includes gears, cylinders, pistons and other parts that have been
“mated” through normal wear. Mated parts
must always be reused or replaced as an
assembly.
4. During disassembly, clean all of the parts
and place them in trays in the order of disassembly. This will speed up assembly and
allow for the correct installation of all parts.
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all
replacements. Use oil and grease recommended by Yamaha for all lubrication jobs.
Other brands may be similar in function and
appearance, but inferior in quality.
EAS00022
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. When overhauling the engine, replace all
gaskets, seals and O-rings. All gasket surfaces, oil seal lips and O-rings must be
cleaned.
2. During reassembly, properly oil all mating
parts and bearings and lubricate the oil seal
lips with grease.

EAS00024
BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
Install bearings and oil seals so that the manufacturer’s marks or numbers are visible. When
installing oil seals, lubricate the oil seal lips
with a light coat of lithium-soap-based grease.
Oil bearings liberally when installing, if appropriate.
