•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.

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
