Fuel cockThe fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetor while filtering it
also.
The fuel cock has three positions:
OFF
With the lever in this position, fuel will
not flow. Always return the lever to
this position when the engine is not
running.1. Arrow mark positioned over ÒOFFÓ
ON
With the lever in this position, fuel
flows to the carburetor. Normal riding
is done with the lever in this position.1. Arrow mark positioned over ÒONÓ
RES
This indicates reserve. If you run out
of fuel while riding, move the lever to
this position. Fill the tank at the first
opportunity. Be sure to set the lever
back to ÒONÓ after refueling!1. Arrow mark positioned over ÒRESÓ

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).
EAU01128
Engine break-inThere is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1,600 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 1,600 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.
EAU01500
0Ð1,000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
1,000Ð1,600 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
EC000057
cCAfter 1,000 km of operation, the
engine oil must be changed, the oil
filter cartridge/element replaced,
and the oil strainer cleaned.1,600 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
EC000049
cCIf any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

cCBe sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled ÒEnergy
ConservingÓ) contain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced
component life and poor engine performance.
