OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU00424
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on your
riding style. Consider the following tips to
reduce fuel consumption:
•Thoroughly warm up the engine.
•Turn the starter (choke) off as soon
as possible.
•Shift up swiftly, and avoid high engine
speeds during acceleration.
•Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine speeds
with no load on the engine.
•Turn the engine off instead of letting it
idle for an extended length of time
(e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic lights or
at railroad crossings).

Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in
the life of your engine than the period be-
tween 0 and 1,600 km (1,000 mi). For this
reason, you should read the following ma-
terial carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not put
an excessive load on it for the first 1,600
km (1,000 mi). The various parts in the en-
gine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances. During this
period, prolonged full-throttle operation or
any condition that might result in engine
overheating must be avoided.
EAU01171
0-1,000 km (0-600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3 throt-
tle.
1,000-1,600 km (600-1,000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2 throt-
tle.
EC000056
After 1,000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil and final gear oil must be
changed, and the oil filter cartridge/ele-
ment replaced.
1,600 km (1,000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated normal-
ly.
EC000049
If any engine trouble should occur dur-
ing the engine break-in period, immedi-
ately have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.

NOTE:
•The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
•Hydraulic brake service
•Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
•Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
•Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

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.

Engine oil and oil filter element
The engine oil level should be checked be-
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.

•In order to prevent clutch slippage
(since the engine oil also lubri-
cates the clutch), do not mix any
chemical additives with the oil or
use oils of a higher grade than
“CD”. In addition, do not use oils
labeled "ENERGY CONSERVING II"
or higher.
•Make sure that no foreign material
enters the crankcase.
CAUTION:6. Start the engine, and then let it idle for
several minutes while checking it for
oil leakage. If oil is leaking, immedi-
ately turn the engine off and check for
the cause.
NOTE:
After the engine is started, the engine oil
level warning light should go off if the oil
level is sufficient.
EC000067
If the oil level warning light flickers or
remains on, immediately turn the
engine off and have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
7. Turn the engine off, and then check
the oil level and correct it if neces-
sary.
NOTE:
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the oil filter
element when necessary.

Cleaning the air filter element
The air filter element should be cleaned at
the intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. Clean the
air filter element more frequently if you are
riding in unusually wet or dusty areas. 4. Add the recommended final gear oil
to the brim of the filler hole.
NOTE:
GL4 is a quality rating. Hypoid gear oils
rated GL5 or GL6 may also be used.
5. Install and tighten the oil filler bolt.1. Remove the seat. (See page 3-13 for

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
