Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. The most important
points of inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication are explained on the fol-
lowing pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, DEPENDING
ON THE WEATHER, TERRAIN,
GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION, AND
INDIVIDUAL USE, THE MAINTE-
NANCE INTERVALS MAY NEED TO
BE SHORTENED.

wIf you are not familiar with motor-
cycle maintenance work, have a
Yamaha dealer do it for you.

OwnerÕs tool kitThe ownerÕs tool kit is located under
the seat. (See page 3-12 for seat
removal and installation procedures.)
The service information included in
this manual and the tools provided in
the ownerÕs tool kit are intended to
assist you in the performance of pre-
ventive maintenance and minor
repairs. However, additional tools
such as a torque wrench may be nec-
essary to perform certain mainte-
nance work correctly.1.OwnerÕs tool kit

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.

1.Measure the spark plug gap with
a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjust the gap to
specification.
2.Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating sur-
face, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
3.Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque.

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 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

To change the coolant
1.Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and let the engine cool if
necessary.
2.Remove the seat. (See page
3-12 for seat removal and instal-
lation procedures.)
3.Remove the radiator cover and
cowling B. (See pages 6-6 for
cowling removal and installation
procedures.)

cC8If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
8If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with
coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the engine may not
be sufficiently cooled and the
cooling system will not be pro-
tected against frost and corro-
sion.
8If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced. 11.Install the radiator cap, start the
engine, let it idle for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.

Lubricating the drive chainThe drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart, otherwise it will quickly
wear out, especially when riding in
dusty or wet areas. Service the drive
chain as follows.
EC000097
cCThe drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle or
riding in the rain.1.Clean the drive chain with
kerosene and a small soft brush.
ECA00053
cCTo prevent damaging the O-rings,
do not clean the drive chain with
steam cleaners, high-pressure
washers or inappropriate solvents.
NOTE:
Using the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both adjusting nuts are in the same
position for proper wheel alignment.
EC000096
cCImproper drive chain slack will
overload the engine as well as
other vital parts of the motorcycle
and can lead to chain slippage or
breakage. To prevent this from
occurring, keep the drive chain
slack within the specified limits.3.Tighten the locknuts, and then
tighten the axle nut to the speci-
fied torque.
