OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15950
EWA10270
WARNING0
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised com-
pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.
EAUB1340
Starting the engine
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The transmission is in the neutral
position.
The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.
EWA10290

tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure de-
scribed on page 3-20.

Engine oil and oil filter
element
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil must
be changed and the oil filter element re-
placed at the intervals specified in the pe-
riodic maintenance and lubrication chart.To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position.NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can re-
sult in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
10-15 minutes, let it continue to
idle for 20-30 seconds, and then
turn it off.
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.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
EWAB0010
WARNING0
The exhaust pipes are very hot dur-
ing and following operation. To pre-
vent burns when removing the oil
filler cap, use extra care not to
touch the exhaust pipes.
NOTE:
The engine oil tank is located in
front of the frame.
The engine oil should be between
the minimum and maximum level
marks.
