Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
8Thoroughly warm up the engine.
8Turn the starter (choke) off as
soon as possible.
8Shift up swiftly, and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
8Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the
engine.
8Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cross-
ings).
EAU00436
Engine break-inThere is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1,000 km. For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do
not put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,000 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
that might result in engine overheat-
ing must be avoided.

9Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake
fluid.
9Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4Ð1/2 turn past finger tight.
However, the spark plug should be
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.4.Install the spark plug cap.

Transmission oilThe transmission oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the transmission oil must be changed
at the intervals specified in the peri-
odic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the transmission oil level
1.Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position. NOTE:
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when checking
the oil level. A slight tilt to the side
can result in a false reading.2.Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.

level through the check window
located at the right side of the
crankcase.NOTE:
The transmission oil should be above
the minimum level mark.4.If the oil is below the minimum
level mark, remove the oil filler
cap, add sufficient oil of the rec-
ommended type to raise it to the
correct level, and then install and
tighten the cap.

cC8In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the transmission
oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical addi-
tives with the oil.
8Make sure that no foreign
material enters the transmis-
sion.6.Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking the transmission for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, immedi-
ately turn off the engine and
check for the cause.

The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.3.If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, open the

CoolantTo check the coolant level
1.Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:
8The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
8Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.

Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, have the oil
seals of the master cylinder and
caliper as well as the brake hoses
replaced at the intervals listed below
or whenever they are damaged or
leaking.
8Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
8Brake hoses: Replace every four
years.

Drive chain slackThe drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjust-
ed if necessary.
To check the drive chain slack
1.Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:
When checking and adjusting the
drive chain slack, the motorcycle
should be positioned straight up and
there should be no weight on it.
