4-8Wheels
To ensure maximum performance, long service, and safe
operation, note the following:
1. Always inspect the wheels before a ride. Check for
cracks, bends, or warpage of the wheel; be sure the
spokes are tight and undamaged. If any abnormal
condition exists in a wheel, consult a Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel is deformed or cracked,
it must be replaced.
2. Tires and wheels should be balanced whenever either one is changed or replaced. Failure to have a wheel
balanced can result in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and shortened tire life.
3. After installing a tire, ride conservatively to allow the tire to seat itself on the rim properly. Failure to allow
proper seating may cause tire failure, resulting in
damage to the motorcycle and injury to the rider.
Clutch
( See page 6-20 for details)
Check the free play in the clutch lever, and make sure the
lever operates properly. If the free play is incorrect, adjust
it.
Throttle grip (See page 6-24 for details)
Turn the throttle grip to see if it operates properly, and check
the free play.
Make sure the grip returns by spring force when released.
Ask a Yamaha dealer or other qualified mechanic to make
any necessary adjustments.
Fitting/Fasteners
Alway check the tightness of chassis fittings and fasteners
before a ride. Use the chart on page 6-5 to find the correct
torque.
Switches
Check the operation of the starter switch, main switch, “
Engine Stop” switch.

Drive chain slack adjustment
1. Locknut 2. Adjusting bolt
1. Loosen the rear brake pedal free play adjusting nut.
2. Loosen the axle nut.
3. Loosen the chain adjusting locknuts on each chainpuller. To tighten the chain, turn the chain adjusting nuts
in direction  .To loosen the chain turn the chain
adjusting nuts in direction  and push the wheel
forward. Turn each chain adjusting nut exactly the same
amount to maintain correct axle alignment. There are
marks on each chain puller. Use these marks to align
the rear wheel. Too little chain slack will overload the engine and other vital
parts. Keep the slack within the specified limits.
To maintain correct axle alignment, Ensure the notch on
the adjuster is on the same mark on left and right side
4. After adjusting, be sure to tighten each chain adjusting
locknut. The tighten the axle nut to the specified torque
Axle nut torque: 91 N.m (9.1 Kgf.m, 66 lbf.ft)
Locknut torque: 15 N.m (1.5 Kgf.m, 11 lbf.ft)
5. Adjust the free play in the brake pedal.
Check the operation of the brake light after adjusting
the rear brake.

Although Yamaha motorcycles receive a rigid inspection
before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur during
operation. Any problem in the fuel, compression, or ignition
systems can cause poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy, procedure
for making checks. If your motorcycle requires any repair,
bring it to a Yamaha dealer. The skilled technicians at a
Yamaha dealership have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your motorcycle. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your motorcycle. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often inferior. Consequently,
they have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive
repair bills.
