Do not put in any chemical addi-
tives. Engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.

10. 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. @

CoolantCheck the coolant level in the reservoir
tank when the engine is cold. The cool-
ant level will vary with engine tempera-
ture. The coolant level is satisfactory if
it is between the minimum and maxi-
mum marks on the tank. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum mark,
fill with tap water (soft water) to bring
the level up to the maximum mark.
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
coolant every two years. Recommended oil:

Drive chain lubricationThe chain consists of many parts which
work with each other. If the chain is not
maintained properly, it will wear out
quickly. Therefore, the chain must be
serviced regularly. This service is es-
pecially necessary when riding in dusty
areas. This motorcycle is equipped
with a sealed type chain. Steam clean-
ing, high-pressure washers, and sol-
vents can damage the drive chain, so
do not use these for cleaning it. Use
only kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubricate it
with SAE 30 ~ 50W motor oil. Do not
use any other lubricants on the drive
chain. They may contain solvents that
could damage the sealed chain.

CAUTION:@ Be sure to oil the chain after wash-
ing the motorcycle or riding in the
rain. @

@ Damage to the outer housing of ca-
bles may lead to internal rusting and
interfere with the cable movement.
Replace damaged cables as soon as
possible to prevent unsafe condi-
tions. @Lubricate the cables and cable ends. If
a cable does not operate smoothly, ask
a Yamaha dealer to replace it.

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.
