Periodic inspection, adjustment and lu-
brication will keep your motorcycle in
the safest and most efficient condition
possible. Safety is an obligation of the
motorcycle owner. The maintenance
and lubrication schedule chart should
be considered strictly as a guide to
general maintenance and lubrication
intervals. YOU MUST TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION THAT WEATH-
ER, TERRAIN, GEOGRAPHICAL LO-
CATIONS, AND A VARIETY OF
INDIVIDUAL USES ALL TEND TO
DEMAND THAT EACH OWNER AL-
TER THIS TIME SCHEDULE TO
SHORTER INTERVALS TO MATCH
THE ENVIRONMENT. The most im-
portant points of motorcycle inspec-
tion, adjustment, and lubrication are
explained in the following pages.

WARNING

If you are not familiar with motor-
cycle service, this work should be
done by a Yamaha dealer.
EAU01129
Tool kit
The tool kit is located inside of the stor-
age compartment. (See page 3-11 for
compartment opening procedures.)
The tools provided in the owner’s tool
kit are to assist you in the performance
of periodic maintenance. However,
some other tools such as a torque
wrench are also necessary to perform
the maintenance correctly.
The service information included in
this manual is intended to provide you,
the owner, with the necessary informa-
tion for completing some of your own
preventive maintenance and minor re-
pairs.
NOTE:

If you do not have necessary tools re-
quired during a service operation, take
your motorcycle to a Yamaha dealer
for service.
EW000062
WARNING

Modifications to this motorcycle not
approved by Yamaha may cause
loss of performance, excessive
emissions, and render it unsafe for
use. Consult a Yamaha dealer be-
fore attempting any changes.

1. Spark plug wrench
Inspection
The spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect. The
condition of the spark plug can indicate
the condition of the engine. Normally,
all spark plugs from the same engine
should have the same color on the
white insulator around the center elec-
trode. The ideal color at this point is a
medium-to-light tan color for a motor-
cycle that is being ridden normally. If
one spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, there could be something
wrong with the engine. Do not attempt
to diagnose such problems yourself.
Instead, take the motorcycle to a
Yamaha dealer. You should periodi-cally remove and inspect the spark
plugs because heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly break
down and erode. If electrode erosion
becomes excessive, or if carbon and
other deposits are excessive, you
should replace the spark plug with the
specified plug.
Specified spark plug:
DPR7EA-9 (NGK)
X22EPR-U9 (DENSO)
a. Spark plug gap
Installation
1. Measure the electrode gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifi-
cation.
2. Clean the gasket surface. Wipe
off any grime from the threads.
3. Install the spark plug and tighten it
to the specified torque. Spark plug gap:
0.8 ~ 0.9 mm

NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark plug, a
good estimate of the correct torque is
1/4 to 1/2 turn past finger tight. Have
the spark plug tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
20 Nm (2.0 m·kg)

Oil level inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it in an upright po-
sition. Warm up the engine for
several minutes.
NOTE:

Be sure the motorcycle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt toward the side can result in
false readings.
1. Engine oil drain bolt
2. With the engine stopped, check
the oil level through the level win-
dow located at the lower part of
the left side crankcase cover.
NOTE:

Wait a few minutes until the oil level
settles before checking.
3. The oil level should be between
the maximum and minimum
marks. If the level is low, fill the
engine with sufficient oil to the
specified level.
