and the filter cover. Tighten the oil
filter cover bolts to the specified
torque.
NOTE:@ Make sure the O-rings are seated prop-

Inspecting the brake fluid
levelInsufficient brake fluid may let air enter
the brake system, possibly causing the
brakes to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level and replen-
ish when necessary.
Observe these precautions:
l
When checking the fluid level,
make sure the top of the master
cylinder is level by turning the han-
dlebars.
l
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake perfor-
mance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake performance.
l
Be 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.
l
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
l
Have a Yamaha dealer check the
cause if the brake fluid level goes
down.

CAUTION:@ Too little chain slack will overload
the engine and other vital parts.
Keep the slack within the specified
limits. @3. After adjusting, tighten the axle nut
and caliper bracket bolt to the
specified torque.
EAU03006
Drive chain lubricationThe chain consists of many parts which
work with each other. If the chain is not
maintained properly, it will wear out
quickly. Therefore, the chain must be
serviced regularly. This service is es-
pecially necessary when riding in dusty
areas. This motorcycle is equipped
with a sealed type chain. Steam clean-
ing, high-pressure washers, and sol-
vents can damage the drive chain, so
do not use these for cleaning it. Use
only kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubricate it
with SAE 30 ~ 50W motor oil. Do not
use any other lubricants on the drive
chain. They may contain solvents that
could damage the sealed chain.
EC000097
CAUTION:@ Be sure to oil the chain after wash-
ing the motorcycle or riding in the
rain. @

WARNING
@ Damage to the outer housing of ca-
bles may lead to internal rusting and
interfere with the cable movement.
Replace damaged cables as soon as
possible to prevent unsafe condi-
tions. @Lubricate the cables and cable ends. If
a cable does not operate smoothly, ask
a Yamaha dealer to replace it.

Throttle cable and grip
lubricationThe throttle twist grip assembly should
be greased at the time that the cable is
lubricated, since the grip must be re-
moved to get at the end of the throttle
cable. After removing the screws, hold
the end of the cable up in the air and
put in several drops of lubricant. With
the throttle grip disassembled, coat the
metal surface of the grip assembly with
a suitable all-purpose grease.

7-MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGECareThe exposure of its technology makes a
motorcycle charming but also vulnera-
ble. Although high-quality components
are used, they are not all rust-resistant.
While a rusty exhaust pipe may remain
unnoticed on a car, it does look unat-
tractive on a motorcycle. Frequent and
proper care, however, will keep your
motorcycle looking good, extend its life
and maintain its performance. More-
over, the warranty states that the vehi-
cle must be properly taken care of. For
all these reasons, it is recommended
that you observe the following cleaning
and storing precautions.Before cleaning
1. Cover up the muffler outlets with
plastic bags.
2. Make sure that all caps and covers
as well as all electrical couplers
and connectors, including the
spark plug caps, are tightly in-
stalled.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
brush, but never apply such prod-
ucts onto seals, gaskets, sprock-
ets, the drive chain and wheel
axles. Always rinse the dirt and
degreaser off with water.Cleaning
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a neutral
detergent and a soft clean sponge,
then rinse with plenty of clean water.
Use a tooth or bottle brush for hard-to-
reach parts. Tougher dirt and insects
will come off more easily if the area is
covered with a wet cloth for a few min-
utes before cleaning.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which
will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
