OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
1. Before riding this Motorcycle,
become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions. Consult a
YAMAHA dealer regarding any
control or function that you do
not thoroughly understand.
2. Never start your engine or let it
run for any length of time in a
closed area. The exhaust fumes
are poisonous and can cause
loss of consciousness.
Always operate your
Motorcycle in an area with
adequate ventilation.
3. Before starting out, always be
sure the side stand is up.
Failure to retract the side stand
completely can result in a
serious accident when you try
to turn a corner.
Starting and warming up a
cold engine1. Turn the fuel cock to "ON"
2. Turn the main switch to "ON."

amount of power you have available
at a given speed for starting,
accelerating, climbing hills, etc. The
use of the shift pedal is shown in the
illustration.
To shift into neutral, depress the shift
pedal repeatedly until it reach- es
the end of its travel, then raise the
pedal slightly..

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionYour Motorcycle's fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your
riding style. The following tips can
help reduce fuel consumption:
1. Warm up the engine before riding.
2. Move the strater Lever to “Off” as
soon as possible.
3. Shift up swiftly and avoid high
engine speeds during
acceleration.
4. Do not double-clutch or rev the
engine while shifting down and
avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
5. Turn off the engine instead of
letting it idle for an extended
length of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or rail- road crossings.
6. Do not drive with excessive load
on the Motorcycle.
7. Plan your route in advance.
Running-inThere is never a more important
period in the life of your Motorcycle
than the period between zero and
1,000 kms. For this reason we ask
that you carefully read the following
material. Because the engine is brand
new, you must not put an excessive
load on it for the first 1,000 kms. The
various parts in the engine wear and
polish themselves to the correct
operating clearances. During this
period, prolonged full throttle
operation, or any condition which
might result in excessive heating of
the engine, must be avoided.Be sure to replace the engine
oil as per recommended
schedule.
1,000 kms and below :
Avoid prolonged full-throttle
operation. Vary speed
occasionally.
5-3
CAUTION :
8. Avoid frequent braking.
9. Always maintain your tyre
pressure as per recommendation
10. Get your motorcycle serviced
periodically after every 2000 kms.
If any engine trouble should occur
during the "Running-in" period,
consult a YAMAHA dealer
immediately.
CAUTION :

A. Spark plug gapSpark plug inspectionThe spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect.
The condition of the spark plug can
indicate the condition of the engine.
The ideal color on the white insulator
around the center electrode is a
medium-to-light tan color for a
Motorcycle that is being riddennormally. Do not attempt to diagnose
any problems yourself. Instead, take
the Motorcycle to a YAMAHA dealer.
You should periodically remove and
inspect the spark plug because heat
and deposits will cause the spark plug
to slowly break down and erode. If
electrode erosion becomes exces-
sive, or if carbon and other deposits
are excessive, you should replace the
spark plug with the specified plug.
Before installing the spark plug,
measure the electrode gap with a wire
thickness gauge; adjust the gap to
specification as necessary.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

A.- Spark plug gap: 0.8 ±0.1 mm
When installing the plug, always
clean the gasket surface and use a
new gasket. Wipe off any grime from
the threads and tighten the spark plug
to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
12 ft-lb (1.75 m-kg)NOTE :If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark plug,
a good estimate of the correct
torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past finger
using a box spanner.
AALWAYS USE ONLY THE STANDARD RECOMMENDED MAKE AND TYPE OF
SPARK PLUG
Specified spark plug:
P-RA7HC-(CHAMPION)

NOTE :
ALWAYS CHANGE ENGINE OIL AT RECOMMENDED INTERVALS
FOR OPTIMUM ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND ENGINE LIFE
1. Engine oil filler capEngine oil1. Oil level measurement
a. Place the Motorcycle on the
centerstand. Warm up the engine
for several minutes.
Be sure the Motorcycle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt toward the side can
result in false readings.
1. Maximum level
2. Minimum levelWait a few minutes until the oil level
settles before checking.
b. Unscrew the dipstick and rest it
on the threads of the oil filler hole.
The oil level should be between
the minimum and maximum mark
on the dip- stick. If the level is low,
add oil to raise it to the specified
level.
