Catalytic converter
This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
WARNING

EWA10860
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.
CAUTION:

ECA10700
The following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard or
other damages.

Use only unleaded gasoline.
The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter.

Never park the vehicle near pos-
sible fire hazards such as grass
or other materials that easily
burn.

Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15980
WARNING

EWA10870

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.

For safety, always start the en-
gine with the centerstand down.
EAUT1861
Starting the engine
CAUTION:

ECA10250
See page 5-3 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the side-
stand must be up.
WARNING

EWA10290

Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure
described on page 3-12.

Never ride with the sidestand
down.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
CAUTION:

ECAT1040
The engine trouble warning light
should come on for a few seconds,
then go off. If the warning light does
not go off, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
2. Close the throttle completely.3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the front
or rear brake.
NOTE:

If the engine does not start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the en-
gine more than 5 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not start
with the starter motor, try using the
kickstarter.
CAUTION:

ECA11040
For maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!

EAU16820
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.

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).
EAU16830
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 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
1000 km (600 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.
EAU16950
0–150 km (0–90 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to ten
minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at one
set throttle position.
150–500 km (90–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
Rev the engine freely through the
gears, but do not use full throttle at any
time.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4
throttle.
CAUTION:

ECA10350
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil must be changed and
the oil strainer cleaned.
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
Avoid prolonged full-throttle operation.
Vary the speed occasionally.
CAUTION:

ECA10270
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

NOTE:


The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

Hydraulic brake service

Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.

Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake fluid.

Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

9 To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insulator
around the center electrode of the
spark plug is a medium-to-light tan
(the ideal color when the vehicle is
ridden normally).
NOTE:

If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, the engine could be defec-
tive. Do not attempt to diagnose such
problems yourself. Instead, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.
To install the spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifica-
tion.2. Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
NOTE:

If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimateof the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the panel.

Engine oil and oil strainer
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil strainer
cleaned at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. The engine oil must also be
changed at the initial 1000 km (600 mi)
and when the oil change indicator flash-
es. The oil change tripmeter must be
reset after the initial 1000 km (600 mi).
(See page 3-2 for reset procedures.)
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
NOTE:

Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in a
false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it backinto the oil 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 mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil and clean
the oil strainer
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolts to drain the oil from
the crankcase.
CAUTION:

ECA10410
When removing the engine oil drain
bolt, the O-ring, spring, and oil
strainer will fall out. Take care not to
lose these parts.

Replacing the fuses
The main fuse box is located above the
battery.
The fuse box, which contains the fuses
for the individual circuits, is located in
the storage compartment. (See
page 3-10.)If a fuse is blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
the electrical circuit in question.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage.
CAUTION:

ECAT1061

Do not use a fuse of a higher
amperage rating than recom-
mended to avoid causing exten-
sive damage to the electrical
system and possibly a fire.

After removing and installing
the main fuse, be sure to turn
the main switch from “ON” to
“OFF” three times in 3 seconds
intervals to initialize the idle
speed control system.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuit in question to
check if the device operates.
