3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction and lead to poor brake
performance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder reservoir when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean up
spilled fluid immediately.
6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.

eration of controls could be restricted, whichcould cause an accident or injury.
Lubricate the inner cables and the cable ends.
If the cables do not operate smoothly, ask a
Yamaha dealer to replace them.

B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. After
thoroughly cleaning the machine, prepare for
storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
fuel stabilizer (if available).
NOTE:

Use of fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to
drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha dealer
if the fuel system is to be drained instead.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 mo-
tor oil in the spark plug hole and reinstall
the spark plug. Ground the spark plug
wire and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off
the ground.

5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe
outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo-
sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to
any rubber parts or the seat cover.
7. Remove the battery and charge it. Store it
in a dry place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in an ex-
cessively warm or cold place (less than
0 ˚C or more than 30 ˚C).
NOTE:

Make any necessary repairs before storing the
machine.

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 componentlife and poor engine performance.
