short as possible to preserve the bat-
tery. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on any one attempt.
5. After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) to the halfway posi-
tion.
NOTE:
For maximum engine life, never accel-
erate hard with a cold engine!
6. After the engine is warm, turn off
the starter (choke) completely.
NOTE:
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Your motorcycleÕs fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your
riding style. The following tips can help
reduce fuel consumption:
lWarm up the engine before riding.
lTurn off the starter (choke) as
soon as possible.
lShift up swiftly and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
lDo not double-clutch or rev the en-
gine while shifting down and avoid
high engine speeds with no load
on the engine.
lTurn off the engine instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or railroad crossings.
EAU00436
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your motorcycle than the
period between zero and 1,000 km. For
this reason we ask that you carefully
read the following material. Because
the engine is brand new, you must not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1,000 km. The various parts in the en-
gine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances. During
this period, prolonged full throttle oper-
ation, or any condition which might re-
sult in excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.
EAU00444
0 ~ 150 km
Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.
Stop the engine and let it cool for 5 to
10 minutes after every hour of opera-
tion. Vary the speed of the motorcycle
from time to time. Do not operate it at
one set throttle position.
150 ~ 500 km
Avoid prolonged operation above
1/2 throttle. Rev the motorcycle freely
through the gears, but do not use full
throttle at any time.
500 ~ 1,000 km
Avoid cruising speeds in excess of
3/4 throttle.
EC000056
CAUTION:
After 1,000 km of operation, be sure
to replace the engine oil, oil filter
and final gear oil.

EC000066
CAUTION:
lDo not put in any chemical addi-
tives. Engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
lBe sure no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
8. Start the engine and warm it up for
a few minutes. While warming up,
check for oil leakage. If oil leakage
is found, stop the engine immedi-
ately and check for the cause.
1. Final gear oil drain bolt
2. Final gear oil
3. Final gear oil filler bolt
4. Correct level
EAU02943
Final gear oil
EW000066
Do not let foreign material enter the
final gear case. Be sure oil does not
get on the tire or wheel.
Oil level inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. The engine should be cool at
ambient temperature.2. Remove the oil filler bolt and
check the oil level. The oil level
should be at the brim of the filler
hole. Add the recommended oil if
necessary.
Oil replacement
1. Place an oil pan under the final
gear case.
2. Remove the oil filler bolt and drain
bolt to drain the oil.
3. Install and tighten the drain bolt to
the specified torque.
4. Fill the gear case to the brim of the
filler hole with the recommended
oil. Tightening torque:
Drain bolt:
23 Nm (2.3 mákg)

Idle speed adjustment
NOTE:
A diagnostic tachometer must be used
for this procedure.
1. Attach the tachometer. Start the
engine and warm it up for a few
minutes at approximately 1,000 to
2,000 r/min. Occasionally rev the
engine to 4,000 to 5,000 r/min.
The engine is warm when it quick-
ly responds to the throttle.
1. Throttle stop screw
2. Set the idle to the specified engine
speed by adjusting the throttle
stop screw. Turn the screw in di-
rectiona
to increase engine
speed and in direction b
to de-
crease engine speed.
NOTE:
If the specified idle speed cannot be
obtained by performing the above ad-
justment, consult a Yamaha dealer.Standard idle speed:
1,150 ~ 1,250 r/min
a. Free play
EAU00635
Throttle cable free play
inspection
There should be a free play of 3 ~
5 mm at the throttle grip. If the free play
is incorrect, ask a Yamaha dealer to
make this adjustment.
