Checking the spark plug
1. Spark plug
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which should be chec-
ked periodically, preferably by a
Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depo-
sits will cause any spark plug to
slowly erode, it should be removed
and checked in accordance with the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plug can reveal the condition of
the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of the spark plug
should be a medium-to-light tan (the
ideal color when the vehicle is riddennormally). If the spark plug shows a
distinctly different color, the engine
could be defective. Do not attempt to
diagnose such problems yourself.
Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
If the spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon
or other deposits, it should be repla-
ced.
Before installing a spark plug, the
spark plug gap should be measured
with a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4~1/2 turn past finger tight. Howe-
ver, the spark plug should be tighte-
ned to the specified torque as soon
as possible.

The transmission oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To check the transmission oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positio-
ned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result
in a false reading.
2. Remove the oil check bolt, and
then check the oil level.
NOTE:
The oil should be at the brim of the
check hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the
check hole, remove the oil filler
cap, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to
the correct level, and then install
the oil filler cap.
4. Install the oil check bolt, and then
tighten it to the specified torque.
To change the transmission oil
1. Place an oil pan under the trans-
mission oil case to collect the used
oil.
2. Remove the drain bolt and the oil
check bolt to drain the oil.
3. Install the drain bolt and the
check bolt, and then tighten them to
the specified torque.4. Remove the oil filler cap, add the
specified amount of the recom-
mended transmission oil, and
then install and tighten the oil
filler cap.
ECAM1020
CAUTION
Make sure that no foreign material
enters the transmission case.
5. Start the engine and let it idle for
several minutes while checking
the transmission oil case for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, imme-
diately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
Recommended transmission oil:
See page 8-1.

Drive chain slack
(a) Drive chain slack
The drive chain slack should be chec-
ked before each ride and adjusted if
necessary.
EAU22771
To check the drive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the
sidestand.
NOTE:
When checking and adjusting the dri-
ve chain slack, there should be no
weight on the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.
3. Move the rear wheel by pushing
the motorcycle to locate the tigh-
test portion of the drive chain,and then measure the drive chain
slack as shown.
4. If the drive chain slack is inco-
rrect, adjust it as follows.
EAU22920
To adjust the drive chain slack
1. Cotter pin
2. Axle nut
3. Lock nut
4. Chain tensioner
1. Remove the cotter pin from the axle
nut, and then loosen the axle nut.
2. Loosen the chain puller locknut
at each end of the swingarm.
3. To tighten the drive chain, turn
the adjusting nut at each end of
the swingarm in direction (a). To
loosen the drive chain, turn theadjusting nut at each end of the
swingarm in direction (b), and
then push the rear wheel forward.
NOTE:
Using the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both adjusting nuts are in the same
position for proper wheel alignment.
ECA10570
CAUTION
Improper drive chain slack will
overload the engine as well as
other vital parts of the motorcycle
and can lead to chain slippage or
breakage. To prevent this from
occurring, keep the drive chain
slack within the specified limits.
4. Tighten the locknuts, and then
tighten the axle nut to the speci-
fied torque.
5. Insert a new cotter pin into the
axle nut, and then bend its ends
as shown.
Tightening torque:
Axle nut:
90 Nm (9,0 m•kgf)
Drive chain slack:
40~50 mm (1,5 ~1,9 in)
