Adjusting the valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture and/
or engine noise. To prevent this from
occurring, the valve clearance must be
adjusted by a Yamaha dealer at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
EAU21370
Adjusting the throttle cable
free playThe throttle cable free play should mea-
sure 3~5 mm (0.12~0.20 in) at the
throttle grip. Periodically check the
throttle cable free play and, if necessary,
adjust it as follows.NOTE:
The engine idling speed must be cor-
rectly adjusted before checking and ad-
justing the throttle cable free play.1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the throttle cable free
play, turn the adjusting nut in direc-
tion (a). To decrease the throttle
cable free play, turn the adjusting
nut in direction (b).

ZAUM00591. Wear indicator
2. Wear limit lineThe rear brake is provided with a wear
indicator, which allows you to check the
brake shoe wear without having to dis-
assemble the brake. To check the brake
shoe wear, check the position of the
wear indicator while applying the brake.
If a brake shoe has worn to the point
that the wear indicator reaches the wear
limit line, have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake shoes as a set. groove has almost disappeared, have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake pads
as a set.

Checking the brake fluid levelZAUM00**
1
1. MInimum level markInsufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, possibly caus-
ing 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
fluid level is low, be sure to check the
brake pads for wear and the brake sys-
tem for leakage.
Observe these precautions:8When checking the fluid level, make
sure that the top of the master cyl-
inder is level by turning the handle-
bars.
8Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking perfor-
mance.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
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 en-
ter the master cylinder when refill-
ing. 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.
