** Lithium-soap-based grease
NOTE:
Recommended brake fluid: DOT4
Brake fluid replacement:
1. When disassembling the master cylinder or caliper, replace the brake fluid. Normally check the brake
fluid level and add fluid as required.
2. On the inner parts of the master cylinder and caliper, replace the oil seals every two years.
3. Replace the brake hoses every four years, or if cracked or damaged.

NOTE:_ The engine oil should be between the minimum
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.NOTE:_ When adding oil, be careful not to overfill the en-
gine oil tank; the oil level rises faster starting from
the half-level-portion on the dipstick. _5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.CAUTION:_ Make sure that the oil filler cap is securely
tightened, otherwise oil may seep out when
the engine is running. _

11. Add sufficient oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level, and then install
and tighten the oil tank filler cap.CAUTION:_
In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives with the
oil or use oils of a grade “CD” or higher. In
addition, do not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.
Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.

Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.
Use only the designated quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor brake performance.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction
and lead to poor brake performance.
Be careful that water does not enter the brake
fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately.
Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if the
brake fluid level goes down. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4

Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
Inspect cables frequently and replace if dam-
aged. Corrosion can result when the outer cov-
ering of control cables becomes damaged.
Cables can also become frayed or kinked. Op-
eration of controls could be restricted, which
could 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.

CAUTION: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 com-
ponent life and poor engine performance.
