IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND
DISASSEMBLY
1. Before removal and disassembly, eliminate
all dirt, mud, dust and foreign material.
2. Use only the proper tools and cleaning
equipment.
Refer to the “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
3. When disassembling, always keep mated
parts together. This includes gears, cylin-
ders, pistons and other parts that have been
“mated” through normal wear. Mated parts
must always be reused or replaced as an as-
sembly.
4. During disassembly, clean all of the parts
and place them in trays in the order of disas-
sembly. This will speed up assembly and al-
low for the correct installation of all parts.
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.
EAS00021
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all replace-
ments. Use oil and grease recommended by
Yamaha for all lubrication jobs. Other brands
may be similar in function and appearance, but
inferior in quality.
EAS00022
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. When overhauling the engine, replace all
gaskets, seals and O-rings. All gasket sur-
faces, oil seal lips and O-rings must be
cleaned.
2. During reassembly, properly oil all mating
parts and bearings and lubricate the oil seal
lips with grease.

Add the
recommended engine oil to the proper level.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several min-
utes, and then turn it off.
When the engine is cold, the engine oil will
have a higher viscosity, causing the engine
oil pressure to increase. Therefore, be sure
to measure the engine oil pressure after
warming up the engine.

NOTE:
EAS00115
CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
1. Stand the motorcycle on a level surface.

Place the motorcycle on a suitable stand.

Make sure the motorcycle is upright.
2. Check:

brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark
a
Add the
recommended brake fluid to the proper level.
Recommended brake fluid
DOT 4
AFront brake
BRear brake

Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.

Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake
fluids may result in a harmful chemical
reaction, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.

When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean
up any spilt brake fluid immediately.
In order to ensure a correct reading of the brake
fluid level, make sure the top of the brake fluid
reservoir is horizontal.

LUBRICATING THE DRIVE CHAIN
The drive chain consists of many interacting
parts. If the drive chain is not maintained proper-
ly, it will wear out quickly. Therefore, the drive
chain should be serviced, especially when the
motorcycle is used in dusty areas.
This motorcycle has a drive chain with small
rubber O-rings between each side plate. Steam
cleaning, high-pressure washing, certain sol-
vents, and the use of a coarse brush can dam-
age these O-rings. Therefore, use only kero-
sene to clean the drive chain. Wipe the drive
chain dry and thoroughly lubricate it with engine
oil or chain lubricant that is suitable for O-ring
chains. Do not use any other lubricants on the
drive chain since they may contain solvents that
could damage the O-rings.
Recommended lubricant
Engine oil or chain lubricant
