er hole, then install the oil filler cap
and tighten it.

oil filler cap.11. Gradually fill the oil tank with the
remainder of the recommended oil
quantity while checking the level
on the dipstick.

CAUTION:@ l
Do not put in any chemical addi-
tives. Engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.

Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.

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: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.
