minutes. Check the oil level
through the level window located
at the lower part of the right 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 en-
gine with sufficient recommended
oil to reach the specified level.Engine oil and oil filter cartridge re-
placement
1. Warm up the engine for several
minutes.
2. Stop the engine. Place an oil pan
under the engine and remove the
oil filler cap.
3. Remove the drain bolt and drain
the oil.
4. Remove the oil filter by using an oil
filter wrench.
NOTE:@ An oil filter wrench is available at a
nearby Yamaha dealer. @
5. Reinstall the drain bolt and tighten
it to the specified torque.
6. Apply a light coat of engine oil to
the O-ring of new oil filter.NOTE:@ Make sure the O-ring is seated proper-
ly. @

CAUTION:@ l
Do not put in any chemical addi-
tives. Engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
l
Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.

9. Start the engine and warm it up for
several minutes. While warming
up, check for oil leakage. If oil
leakage is found, stop the engine
immediately and check for the
cause. NOTE:After the engine is started, the oil level
indicator light should go off if the oil is at
the specified level.

6 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 or clutch
performance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake or clutch perfor-
mance.
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.
