HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This manual is intended as a handy, easy-to-read reference book for the mechanic. Comprehensive explanations of all installation, removal, disassembly, assembly, repair and check
procedures are laid out with the individual steps in sequential order.
1 The manual is divided into chapters. An abbreviation and symbol in the upper right corner
of 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.
8 Jobs requiring more information (such as special tools and technical data) are described
sequentially.

FEATURES
Twin spark plugs
For this model, two spark plugs are incorporated in each cylinder.
By using two spark plugs, the combustion
time in the combustion chamber is shortened in an attempt to improve torque.
Speed sensor
The speed sensor is installed to the crankcase and it detects the number of passing
gears while the vehicle is running in 5th
gear and sends the information out as an
electrical signal to the ignitor unit.

Auto decompression mechanism
The auto decompression mechanism occurs when the engine is started. When the engine is
started, the decompression cam and pin raise the exhaust valve lifters, push the push rods,
move the rocker arms, and lower the exhaust valves which compress the cylinder. When the
cylinder is compressed, pressure is released immediately, resulting in smoother engine starting capabilities and smoother crankshaft revolutions.

FEATURES
Hydraulic valve lifters
Since the hydraulic valve-lifting mechanism maintains a valve clearance of zero, periodic
valve clearance adjustments are unnecessary.
The advantages of this system as compared to conventional techniques include the following: mechanical noise is reduced, the camshaft action on the valves remains unaffected by
engine speed or temperature, and the valve timing is kept stable.

6 High-pressure chamber
7 Plunger spring
8 Valve lifter body
9 Oil supply inlet
0 Push rod cup
A Plunger retaining clip
B Valve push rod
The hydraulic valve-lifting system functions as follows:
1. As the camshaft rotates, the valve lifter is pushed up by the passing cam lobe.
2. Since the check valve 4 prevents the engine oil contained inside the high-pressure chamber from escaping, the plunger 1 moves up along with the valve lifter body 8 and pushes
up the push rod, causing the valve to be lifted.
3. As the camshaft continues to rotate, the valve lifter moves back down to its original position, where it remains while the cam heel passes.
When a positive valve clearance is caused by either heat expansion of the cylinder head or
engine oil leaking from the valve lifter during stage 2, the plunger, which no longer receives
pressure from the push rod, is pushed up by the plunger spring 7. As a result, the valve
clearance is zeroed and engine oil is allowed to return to the high-pressure chamber from the
reservoir 2 through the check valve 4.
When, on the contrary, a negative valve clearance occurs (this is the case when the cam heel
is passing the valve lifter, but the rocker arm, pushed by the push rod, is lifting the valve), the
plunger 1 continues to receive pressure from the valve push rod. As engine oil contained
inside the high-pressure chamber leaks from the gaps between the valve lifter body 8 and
the plunger 1 as well as between the valve lifter body 8 and the check valve 4, the
plunger 1 moves down and the valve clearance is zeroed.

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.
GEN
INFO
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.
EAS00021
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.

LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER
PINS
After removal, replace all lock washers/
plates 1 and cotter pins. After the bolt or
nut has been tightened to specification,
bend the lock washer tabs and the cotter
pin ends along a flat of the bolt or nut.
EAS00024
BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
1. 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 base grease. Oil bearings
liberally when installing, if appropriate.

CAUTION:
ACHTUNG:
Do not spin bearings with compressed air

CIRCLIPS
Before reassembly, check all circlips carefully and replace damaged or distorted circlips. Always replace piston pin clips after
one use. When installing a circlip 1, make
sure the sharp-edged corner 2 is positioned opposite the thrust 3 that the circlip
receives.
