3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove
it again to check the oil level.
NOTE :
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several 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 the engine oil drain bolt to
drain the oil from the crankcase.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
6Observe 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
performance.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
1. Minimum level mark
•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
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point
of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
•Brake fluid may deteriorate
painted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
•As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
EAUM0008*
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. In addition, have the
brake hoses replaced every four years
or whenever they are damaged or
leaking.

CAUTION:

Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-fric-
tion modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving II”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter cluth slippage,
resulting in reduced component life and poor engine
performance.
