NOTE:
Make sure that the motorcycle is posi-
tioned 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 sever-
al minutes, and then turn it off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located at
the bottom-left side of the crankcase.
NOTE:
The engine oil should be between the min-
imum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the minimum
level mark, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to the
correct level.To change the engine oil without oil
filter element replacement
1. Start the engine, warm it up for sever-
al minutes, and then turn it off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to
collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap and
drain bolt to drain the oil from the
crankcase.

fore each ride. In addition, the oil must be
changed and the oil filter element replaced
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright position.

To check the final gear oil level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright position.
NOTE:
•The final gear oil level must be
checked on a cold engine.
•Make sure that the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.2. Remove the oil filler bolt, and then
check the oil level in the final gear
case.
NOTE:
The oil level should be at the brim of the
filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler
hole, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it to the correct
level.
To change the final gear oil
1. Place an oil pan under the final gear
case to collect the used oil.
2. Remove the oil filler bolt and drain
bolt to drain the oil from the final gear
case.

Final gear oil
The final gear case must be checked for oil
leakage before each ride. If any leakage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer check and
repair the motorcycle. In addition, the final
gear oil level must be checked and the oil
changed as follows at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
EW000066WARNING0
•Make sure that no foreign material
enters the final gear case.
• Make sure that no oil gets on the
tire or wheel.

Observe these precautions:
•When checking the fluid level, make
sure that the top of the brake fluid
reservoir is level.
•Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing leak-
age and poor braking performance.
•Refill with the same type of brake flu-
id. Mixing fluids may result in a harm-
ful chemical reaction and lead to poor
braking performance.
•Be careful that water does not enter
the brake fluid reservoir when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and may re-
sult in vapor lock.
•Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.
•As the brake pads wear, it is normal
for the brake fluid level to gradually
go down. However, if the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a
Yamaha dealer check the cause.

Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction modifiers.
Passenger car motor oils (often labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II”)
contain anti-friction additives which will cause clutch and/ or starter
clutch slippage, resulting in reduced component life and poor
engine performance.8
