PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4-1
EAU15591
The condition of a vehicle is the
owner’s responsibility. Vital compo-
nents can start to deteriorate quickly
and unexpectedly, even if the vehicle
remains unused (for example, as a
result of exposure to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leakage or loss of
tire air pressure could have serious
consequences. Therefore, it is very
important, in addition to a thorough
visual inspection, to check the follo-
wing points before each ride.
NOTE:
Pre-operation checks should be
made each time the vehicle is used.
Such an inspection can be accom-
plished in a very short time; and the
added safety it assures is more than
worth the time involved.

WARNING
If any item in the Pre-operation
check list is not working properly,
have it inspected and repaired
before operating the vehicle.

Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. The most important
points of inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication are explained on the follo-
wing pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, DEPENDING
ON THE WEATHER, TERRAIN, GEO-
GRAPHICAL LOCATION, AND INDIVI-
DUAL USE, THE MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS MAY NEED TO BE
SHORTENED.

NOTE:
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed
instead.
From 50000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.

Checking the spark plug
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, the condition of the spark plug
can reveal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Storage compartment
2. Screws
1. Open the seat. (See page 3-10.)
2. Remove the storage compart-
ment under the seat by removing
the bolts.

sWARNING
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperatu-
re of the tires equals the
ambient temperature).
The tire air pressure must be
adjusted in accordance with
the riding speed and with the
total weight of rider, passenger,
cargo, and accessories appro-
ved for this model.
EWA10450
s sWARNING
Because loading has an enormous
impact on the handling, braking,
performance and safety characte-
ristics of your vehicle, you should
keep the following precautions in
mind.
NEVER OVERLOAD THE VEHI-
CLE! Operation of an overloa-
ded vehicle may result in tire
damage, loss of control, or
severe injury. Make sure that
the total weight of rider, cargo,
and accessories does not
exceed the specified maximum
load for the vehicle.
Do not carry along loosely pac-
ked items, which can shift
during a ride.
Securely pack the heaviest
items close to the center of the
vehicle and distribute the
weight evenly on both sides.
Adjust the suspension and tire
air pressure with regard to the
load.
Check the tire condition and air
pressure before each ride.
1. Tire tread depth
Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before
each ride. If the center tread depth
reaches the specified limit, if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the sidewall is cracked, have a Yama-
ha dealer replace the tire immediately.
NOTE: The tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always
comply with the local regulations.
Minimum tire tread depth (front
and rear): 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
Tire air pressure (measured on
cold tires):Up to 90 kg (198 lb):Front:190kPa (27,02 psi) (1,9kgf/cm
2)
Rear: 220kPa (31,29 psi)
(2,2kgf/cm
