EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.

Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.

Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17100
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4000 r/min.
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
6000 r/min.
CAUTION:

ECA11150
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil must be changed, and
the oil filter element replaced.1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
CAUTION:

ECA10310

Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.

If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

Replacing the air filter element
The air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the seat. (See
page 3-14.)
2. Remove cowlings A and B as well
as panels A and B. (See
page 6-5.)
3. Remove the fuel tank bolts.
4. Remove the rear brake fluid reser-
voir holder by removing the bolt,
and then lift the fuel tank awayfrom the air filter case. (Do not dis-
connect the fuel hoses!)
5. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.6. Pull the air filter element out.
7. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case.
CAUTION:

ECA10480

Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the
air filter case.

The engine should never be op-
erated without the air filter ele-
ment installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
8. Install the air filter case cover by in-
stalling the screws.
9. Place the fuel tank in the original
position and install the bolts.
