Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption
Your motorcycle’s fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your
riding style. The following tips can help
reduce fuel consumption:
l
Warm up the engine before
riding.
l
Turn off the starter (choke) as
soon as possible.
l
Shift up swiftly and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
l
Do not double-clutch or rev the
engine while shifting down and
avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
l
Turn 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.
EAU01128
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your motorcycle than the
period between zero and 1,600 km.
For this reason we ask that you care-
fully read the following material. Be-
cause the engine is brand new, you
must not put an excessive load on it for
the first 1,600 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full throttle operation, or any condition
which might result in excessive heat-
ing of the engine, must be avoided.
EAU01171
0 ~ 1,000 km
Avoid operation above 1/3 throttle.
1,000 ~ 1,600 km
Avoid cruising speeds in excess of
1/2 throttle.

EC000056
CAUTION:
After 1,000 km of operation, be sure
to replace the engine oil, oil filter

and final gear oil.
1,600 km and beyond
Proceed with normal riding.
EC000049
CAUTION:
If any engine trouble should occur
during the break-in period, consult

a Yamaha dealer immediately.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-fric-
tion 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 engineperformance.
