Inspecting the brake fluid levelInsufficient brake fluid may let air enter
the brake or clutch system, possibly
causing them to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level and fill
when necessary. Low brake fluid levels
may indicate worn brake pads and/or
fluid leakage. If the brake fluid level is
low, be sure to inspect the brake pads
for wear and the brake and clutch sys-
tems for leakage.NOTE:The rear master cylinder is located be-
hind panel A.
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 or clutch
performance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake or clutch perfor-
mance.
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 lock-
nuts. Then tighten the axle nut to
the specified torque.

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. Tightening torque:

ties of water or milk. Follow with
milk of magnesia, beaten egg,
or vegetable oil. Call a physi-
cian immediately.
l
EYES: Flush with water for
15 minutes and get prompt

Batteries produce explosive gases.
Keep sparks, flame, cigarettes etc.,
away. Ventilate when charging or
using in an enclosed space. Always
shield your eyes when working near
batteries.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHIL-
DREN.

Battery storage
When the motorcycle is not used for a
month or longer, remove the battery,
fully charge it and store it in a cool, dry
place.
EC000102
CAUTION:@ l
Completely recharge the bat-
tery before storing. Storing a
discharged battery can cause
permanent battery damage.
l
Use a battery charger designed
for a sealed-type (MF) battery.
Using a conventional battery
charger will cause battery dam-
age. If you do not have a sealed-
type battery charger, contact
your Yamaha dealer.
l
Always make sure the connec-
tions are correct when reinstall-
ing the battery.

“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which
will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
