OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

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.

Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:
•The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed instead.
•From 50,000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10,000 km.
•Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and technical skills.

6. Check the final gear case for oil leak-
age. If oil is leaking, check for the
cause.

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
seat removal and installation proce-
dures).
2. Remove panels 1 and 2. (See page
6-5 for panel removal and installation
procedures).
3. Remove the fuel tank bolts.

5. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
6. Pull the air filter element out.
7. Lightly tap the air filter element to re-
move most of the dust and dirt, and
then blow the remaining dirt out with
compressed air as shown. If the air fil-
ter element is damaged, replace it.
8. Insert the air filter element into the air
filter case.
1. Screw
2. Air filter case cover
3. Air filter
ECA00089
The engine should never be operated
without the air filter element installed,
otherwise the piston(s) and/or cylin-
der(s) may become excessively worn.
9. Install the air filter case cover by in-
stalling the screws.
10. Install the fuel tank by installing the
bolts.
11. Install the panels.

4. Lift the fuel tank to position it away
from the air filter case. (Do not dis-
connect the fuel hoses!).
EW000071WARNING0
Make sure that the fuel tank is well sup-
ported.
Do not tilt or pull the fuel tank too much,
otherwise the fuel hoses may come
loose, which could cause fuel leakage.

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
