need the number to search for and identify
your machine.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
EC133000
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. All gaskets, oil seals, and O-rings should be
replaced when an engine is overhauled. All
gasket surfaces, oil seal lips, and O-rings
must be cleaned.
2. Properly oil all mating parts and bearings
during reassembly. Apply grease to the oil
seal lips.
EC134000
LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER
PINS
1. All lock washers/plates 1and cotter pins
must be replaced when they are removed.
Lock tab(s) should be bent along the bolt or
nut flat(s) after the bolt or nut has been
properly tightened.
EC135001
BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
1. Install the bearing (s) 1and oil seal (s) 2
with their manufacturer’s marks or numbers
facing outward. (In other words, the
stamped letters must be on the side ex-
posed to view.) When installing oil seal(s),
apply a light coating of light-weight lithium
base grease to the seal lip(s). Oil the bear-
ings liberally when installing.
cC
Do not use compressed air to spin the
bearings dry. This causes damage to the
bearing surfaces.
EC132000
ALL REPLACEMENT PARTS
1. We recommend to use Yamaha genuine
parts for all replacements. Use oil and/or
grease recommended by Yamaha for as-
sembly and adjustment.

CLUTCH LEVER
The clutch lever 1is located on the left handle-
bar; it disengages or engages the clutch. Pull
the clutch lever to the handlebar to disengage
the clutch, and release the lever to engage the

transmission are ideally spaced. The gears can
be shifted by using the shift pedal 1on the left
side of the engine.
EC154000
KICK STARTER
Rotate the kick starter 1away from the engine.
Push the starter down lightly with your foot until
the gears engage, then kick smoothly and force-
fully to start the engine. This model has a prima-
ry kick starter so the engine can be started in
any gear if the clutch is disengaged. In normal
practices, however, shift to neutral before start-
ing.
EC155001
THROTTLE GRIP
The throttle grip 1is located on the right han-
dlebar; it accelerates or decelerates the engine.
For acceleration, turn the grip toward you; for

abstirbt.
KUPPLUNGSHEBEL
Der Kupplungshebel 1befindet sich
am linken Lenkerrohr und dient zum
Aus- bzw. Einrücken der Kupplung.
Den Kupplungshebel bis zum Lenker-
rohr durchziehen, um die Kupplung
auszurücken; den Hebel wieder frei-
geben, sobald die Kupplung wieder
eingerückt werden soll. Der Hebel
sollte schnell durchgezogen, aber
langsam freigegeben werden, um ein
ruckfreies Anfahren zu gewährleisten.
FUSSSCHALTHEBEL
Das Untersetzungsverhältnis dieses 6
Gang Synchrongetriebes ist optimal
abgestimmt, um bestes Leistungsver-
mögen bei allen Fahrbedingungen zu
garantieren. Das Einlegen der einzel-
nen Gänge erfolgt mittels Fußschalt-
hebel 1, angebrancht an der linken
Seite des Motors.
KICKSTARTER
Den Kickstarter 1vom Motor weg-
schwenken. Den Kickstarter langsam
niedertreten, bis die Zahnräder einra-
sten; danach den Kickstarter
schwungvoll durchtreten, um den
Motor anzulassen. Dieses Modell ist
mit einem Primärkickstarter ausgerü-
stet, d.h. der Motor kann auch bei ein-
gelegtem Gang angelassen werden,
vorausgesetzt, daß die Kupplung aus-
gerückt wird. Normalerweise sollte
jedoch in den Leerlauf geschaltet wer-
den, bevor der Motor gestartet wird.
GASDREHGRIFF

comando della frizione verso il manu-
brio per disinnestare la frizione e lascia-
re andare la leva per innestare la frizio-
ne. La leva dovrebbe essere tirata rapi-
damente e lasciata andare lentamente
per partenze dolci.
IC153000
PEDALE DI COMANDO DEL

Ruotare la pedivella della messa in
moto 1allontanandola dal motore.
Spingere leggermente la pedivella verso
il basso con il piede finché le marce
non si innestano, quindi scalciare senza
strappi e con forza per avviare il moto-
re. Questo modello ha una pedivella
primaria della messa in moto, quindi il
motore può essere avviato in qualsiasi
marcia se la frizione è disinnestata.
Nella prassi normale, però, mettere in
folle prima di avviare.
IC155001
MANOPOLA DELL’ACCELERA-

FUEL COCK
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to car-
buretor while filtering the fuel. The fuel cock has
the two positions:

the carburetor. Normal riding is done with
the lever in this position.
EC159000

When cold, the engine requires a richer air-fuel
mixture for starting. A separate starter circuit,
which is controlled by the starter knob 1, sup-
plies this mixture. Pull the starter knob out to
open the circuit for starting. When the engine
has warmed up, push it in to close the circuit.
