2002 YAMAHA WR 426F oil change

5. GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
Always turn off the engine while refu-
eling. Take care to not spill any gaso-
line on the engine or exhaust system.
Never refuel in the vicinity of an open
flame, or while smoking.
6. GASOLINE CAN CAUSE INJURY.
If you should swallow some gasoline,
inhale excess gasoline vapors, or
allow any gasoline to get into your
eyes, contact a doctor immediately. If
any gasoline spills onto your skin or
clothing, immediately wash skin areas
with soap and water, and change your
clothes.
7. ONLY OPERATE THE MACHINE IN AN
AREA WITH ADEQUATE VENTILA-
TION.
Never start the engine or let it run for
any length of time in an enclosed area.
Exhaust fumes are poisonous. These
fumes contain carbon monoxide,
which by itself is odorless and color-
less. Carbon monoxide is a dangerous
gas which can cause unconscious-
ness or can be lethal.
8. PARK THE MACHINE CAREFULLY;
TURN OFF THE ENGINE.
Always turn off the engine if you are
going to leave the machine. Do not
park the machine on a slope or soft
ground as it may fall over.
9. THE ENGINE, EXHAUST PIPE, MUF-
FLER, AND OIL TANK WILL BE VERY
HOT AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN
RUN.
Be careful not to touch them or to
allow any clothing item to contact
them during inspection or repair.
10. PROPERLY SECURE THE MACHINE
BEFORE TRANSPORTING IT.
When transporting the machine in
another vehicle, always be sure it is
properly secured and in an upright
position and that the fuel cock is in
the “OFF” position. Otherwise, fuel
may leak out of the carburetor or fuel
tank.

REIFENLUFTDRUCK KONTROL-
LIEREN
1. Messen:
Reifenluftdruck
Unvorschriftsmäßig → Ein-
stellen.
HINWEIS:
Den Reifenluftdruck bei kalten Rei-
fen kontrollieren.
Bei zu niedrigem Reifendruck liegt
die Reifenwulst nicht fest an, was
dazu führen kann, daß sich der
Reifen von der Felge löst.
Ein geneigter Reifenventilschaft
deutet an, daß der Reifen ver-
rutscht ist.
Bei geneigtem Reifenventilschaft
muß die Reifenposition berichtigt
werden.
Standard-Reifenluft-
druck
100 kPa (1,0 bar)
SPEICHEN KONTROLLIEREN
UND FESTZIEHEN
1. Kontrollieren:
Speichen 1
Verzug/Beschädigung →
Erneuern.
Speichen locker → Nach-
spannen.
2. Festziehen:
Speichen
HINWEIS:
Die Speichen müssen vor und nach
dem Einfahren nachgezogen wer-
den. Nach jeder Übungsfahrt bzw.
Rennen die Speichenspannung prü-
fen.
T R..3 Nm (0,3 m · kg)
RÄDER KONTROLLIEREN
1. Messen:
Felgenschlag
Das Rad anheben und dre-
hen.
Übermäßig → Erneuern. CONTROLE DE PRESSION DES
PNEUS
1. Mesurer:
Pression des pneus
Hors spécification → Régler.
N.B.:
Vérifier le pneu alors qu’il est froid.
Des butées de bourrelet lâches permet-
tent au pneu de se détacher de sa posi-
tion sur la jante lorsque la pression des
pneus est basse.
Une tige de soupape de pneu inclinée
indique que le pneu se détache de sa
position sur la jante.
Si la tige de soupape de pneu est incli-
née, le pneu a tendance à se détacher
de sa position. Corriger la position du
pneu.
Pression des pneus stan-
dard:
100 kPa
(1,0 kgf/cm
2, 15 psi)
CONTROLE ET SERRAGE DES
RAYONS
1. Contrôler:
Rayons 1
Déformation/endommagement
→ Changer.
Rayons desserrés → Resserrer.
2. Serrer:
Rayon
N.B.:
Ne pas oublier de retendre les rayons
avant et après le rodage. Après un entraî-
nement ou une course, contrôler si les
rayons ne sont pas détendus.
T R..3 Nm (0,3 m · kg, 2,2 ft · lb)
CONTROLE DE LA ROUE
1. Mesure:
Voile de roue
Soulever la roue et la tourner.
Voile excessif → Changer.

COMPROBACIÓN DE LA PRE-
SIÓN DE LOS NEUMÁTICOS
1. Medir:
Presión de aire de los neumáticos
Fuera de especificaciones →
Ajustar.
NOTA:
Compruebe el neumático cuando esté frío.
Afloje los topes reforzados permitiendo
que se pueda retirar el neumático de su
posición en la llanta cuando la presión
de aire de los neumáticos sea baja.
Un vástago de la válvula del neumá-
tico inclinado indica que el neumático
se sale de su posición en la llanta.
Si detecta que el vástago de la válvula
del neumático está inclinado, debe
considerar que el neumático se ha
salido de su posición en la llanta.
Corrija su posición.
Presión de aire de los neu-
máticos estándar:
100 kPa
(1,0 kgf/cm
2, 15 psi)
INSPECCIÓN Y AJUSTE DE LOS
RADIOS
1. Inspeccionar:
Radios 1
Deformaciones/daños →
Reemplazar.
Radios holgados → Ajustar
nuevamente.
2. Apretar:
Radios
NOTA:
Asegúrese de ajustar nuevamente los
radios antes y después del rodaje. Des-
pués de realizar una práctica o empren-
der una carrera, compruebe la holgura de
los radios.
T R..3 Nm (0,3 m · kg, 2,2 ft · lb)
INSPECCIÓN DE RUEDAS
1. Inspeccionar:
Descentramiento de la rueda
Eleve la rueda y gírela.
Descentramiento anormal →
Reemplazar.
