Engine oil
Make sure the engine oil is at the specified level.
Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-21.)
cC
8In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do not
use oils with a diesel specification of “CD”
or oils of a higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.
8Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
Recommended engine oil type and quantity:
See page 10-2.

3. Remove the engine oil tank filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean with a clean rag, insert it
back into the 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 minimum level
mark, add sufficient oil of the recommend-
ed type through the engine oil tank filler
hole to raise it to the correct level.
NOTE:
When adding oil, be careful not to overfill the
engine oil tank; the oil level rises faster starting
from the half-level-portion on the dipstick.
5. Insert the dipstick into the engine oil tank
filler hole, and then tighten the engine oil
tank filler cap.

Observe these precautions:
8When checking the brake fluid level, make
sure the top of the brake fluid reservoir is
level.
8Use only the designated quality brake fluid,
otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor brake performance.
8Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion and lead to poor brake performance.
8Be careful that water does not enter the brake
fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if the
brake fluid level goes down.
