the steering. Worn out or loose steer-
ing bearings may be dangerous. Place
a stand under the engine to raise the
front wheel off the ground. Hold the
lower end of the front forks and try to
move them forward and backward. If
any free play can be felt, ask a

ECA00010CAUTION:
l
Avoid using strong acidic
wheel cleaners, especially on
spoked wheels. If you do use
such products for hard-to-re-
move dirt, do not leave it on any
longer than instructed, then
thoroughly rinse it off with wa-
ter, immediately dry the area
and apply a corrosion protec-
tion spray.
l
Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or
sponge with mild detergent and
water to clean plastic.
l
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake flu-
id, antifreeze or electrolyte.
l
Do not use high-pressure
washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water seep-
age and deterioration in the fol-
lowing areas: seals (of wheel
bearings, swingarm bearings,
forks and brakes), electric com-
ponents (couplers, connectors,
instruments, switches and
lights), breather hoses and
vents.
l
For motorcycles equipped with
a windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-
shield. Test the product on a
small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure they do not
leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quali-
ty plastic polishing compound
after washing.
After riding in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads in the winter are extremely corro-
sive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride
in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads. (Salt sprayed in the
winter may remain on the roads well
into spring.)

1. Clean your motorcycle with cold
water and soap after the engine
has cooled down.

ECA00012
CAUTION:
Do not use warm water since it in-
creases the corrosive action of the

salt.
2. Be sure to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even chrome-
and nickel-plated) metal surfaces
to prevent corrosion.
After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a cham-
ois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even chrome-
and nickel-plated) metal surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-
er to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the motorcycle dry completely
before storing it or covering it.

EWA00001
WARNING

Make sure that there is no oil or wax
on the brakes and tires. If neces-
sary, clean the brake discs and lin-
ings with a regular brake disc
cleaner or acetone, and wash the
tires with warm water and mild
soap. Then, carefully test the motor-
cycle for its braking performance
and cornering behavior.
ECA00013
CAUTION:

l
Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and wipe off any excess.
l
Never apply oil or wax on rubber
and plastic parts, but treat them
with a suitable care product.
l
Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they wear away
the paint.
NOTE:

Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on
what products to use.
