CAUTION:
ECA11400
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different brand
or premium unleaded fuel. Use of un-
leaded fuel will extend spark plug life
and reduce maintenance costs.
EAU13440
Catalytic converter
This vehicle is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the muffler.
WARNING
EWA10860
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
CAUTION:
ECA10700
The following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.
Use only unleaded gasoline.
The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter.
Never park the vehicle near pos-
sible fire hazards such as grass
or other materials that easily
burn.
Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.

Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motorcy-
cle, note the following points regarding
the specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends, warpage or
damage before each ride. If any
damage is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair to
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.
After repairing or replacing the reartire, tighten the valve stem nut and
locknut to the specified torques.
Tightening torques:
Valve stem nut:
1.5 Nm (0.2 m·kgf, 1.1 ft·lbf)
Valve stem locknut:
3.0 Nm (0.3 m·kgf, 2.2 ft·lbf)

Adjusting the rear brake lock
lever cable
Rear brake lock lever cable adjustment
may be required if the rear brake lock le-
ver does not hold properly. When the
rear brake lock lever is not in use, the
rear brake lock lever cable length should
measure 45 mm to 47 mm (1.77 in to
1.85 in) at the rear brake caliper. Period-
ically check the rear brake lock lever ca-
ble length and, if necessary, adjust it as
follows.
To increase the rear brake lock lever
cable length, turn the adjusting nut atthe rear brake caliper in direction (a).
To decrease the rear brake lock lever
cable length, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (b).
WARNING
EWA10650
If proper adjustment cannot be ob-
tained as described, have a Yamaha
dealer make this adjustment.

Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark and
replenish if necessary. A low brake fluid
level may indicate worn brake pads
and/or brake system leakage. If the
brake fluid level is low, be sure to check
the brake pads for wear and the brake
system for leakage.
Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the brake
fluid reservoir is level.
Use only the recommended quality
brake fluid, otherwise the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor braking perfor-
mance.
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performance.
Be careful that water does not en-
ter the brake fluid reservoir whenrefilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to grad-
ually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down sud-
denly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
EAU22730
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the NOTE after the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
have the oil seals of the master cylin-
ders and calipers as well as the brake
hoses replaced at the intervals listed
below or whenever they are damaged
or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake hoses: Replace every four
years.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
