Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed
instead.
From 30000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.

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 bra-
ke fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
right floorboard mat by pulling it
up.
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum
level mark.
ECA10470
CAUTION:
If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with coo-
lant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the coo-
ling system will not be protec-
ted against frost and corrosion.
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-ness of the coolant will be
reduced.

CAUTION:
Make sure that each filter ele-
ment is properly seated in its
case.
The engine should never be
operated without the filter ele-

Adjusting the throttle cable
free play
1. Throttle cable free play
The throttle cable free play should
measure 4 ~ 6 mm (0.16 ~ 0.24) at the
throttle grip. Periodically check the
throttle cable free play and, if neces-
sary, adjust it as follows.
NOTE:
The engine idling speed must be
correctly adjusted before checking
and adjusting the throttle cable free
play.
1. Remove cowling A (See page
6-6).2. Loosen the locknut.
3. To increase the throttle cable free
play, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (a). To decrease the
throttle cable free play, turn the
adjusting nut in direction (b).
4. Tighten the locknut.
5. Install the cowling.
