98Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake performance.
8Be careful that water does not
enter the master cylinder when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8Have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause if the brake fluid level
goes down.
EAU00742Brake fluid replacement
The brake fluid should be replaced
only by trained Yamaha service per-
sonnel. Have the Yamaha dealer
replace the following components
during periodic maintenance or when
they are damaged or leaking:
8oil seals (every two years)
8brake hoses (every four years)
EAU00744Drive chain slack check

Drive chain lubrication
The 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 especially necessary
when riding in dusty areas. This
motorcycle is equipped with a sealed
type chain. Steam cleaning, high-
pressure washers, and solvents 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.

cC
Be sure to oil the chain after wash-
ing the motorcycle or riding in the
rain.
EAU02962
Cable inspection and
lubrication
EW000112
w
Damage to the outer housing of
cables may lead to internal rusting
and interfere with the cable move-
ment. Replace damaged cables as
soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
Lubricate the cables and cable ends.
If a cable does not operate smoothly,
ask a Yamaha dealer to replace it.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil
EAU00773
Throttle cable and grip
lubrication
The throttle twist grip assembly
should be greased at the time that
the cable is lubricated, since the grip
must be removed 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 disas-
sembled, coat the metal surface of
the grip assembly with a suitable all-
purpose grease.

EAU01144Wheel bearings
If there is play in the front or rear
wheel hub or if the wheel does not
turn smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer
inspect the wheel bearings.
EAU00800Battery
This motorcycle is equipped with a
sealed-type battery. Therefore it is
not necessary to check the elec-
trolyte or fill the battery with distilled
water.
8 8
If the battery seems to have dis-
charged, consult a Yamaha deal-
er.
8 8
If the motorcycle is equipped
with optional electrical acces-
sories, the battery tends to dis-
charge more quickly, so be sure
to recharge it periodically.
EC000101
cC
Never try to remove the sealing
caps of the battery cells. The bat-
tery will be damaged.
EW000116

Avoid touching the glass part of a
bulb. Keep it free from oil; other-
wise, the transparency of the
glass, life of the bulb, and lumi-
nous flux will be adversely affect-
ed. If oil gets on a bulb, thoroughly
clean it with a cloth moistened
with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
6. Install the bulb holder cover.
