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.

f. Start the engine and warm up
for a few minutes. While
warming up, check for oil leak-
age. If oil leakage is found, stop
the engine immediately and
check for the cause.

CAUTION :
CAUTION :
Make sure the air filter is
properly seated in the air filter
case.
The engine should never be run
without the air filter installed.
Excessive piston and/or
cylinder wear may result.
Dirty Element Air Cleaner
causes excessive fuel
consumption and loss of
power.
Clean Element Air Cleaner after
every 2000 Kms.
The Element Air Cleaner should
be cleaned and lubricated more
frequently (every 1000 kms), if
Motorcycle is operated in very
dusty (e.g. unpaved, dust laden
roads) conditions.
Carburetor adjustmentThe carburetor is a vital part of the
engine and requires very sophisti-
cated adjustments. Most adjust-
ments should be left to a YAMAHA
dealer who has the professional
knowledge and experience to do so.
However, the following may be
serviced by the owner as part of
routine maintenance.
The carburetor is set at the
YAMAHA factory after many
tests. If the settings are changed,
poor engine performance and
damage may result.

the frame and install the air filter
in the case.

positioning of felt Seal 1 , if
damaged contact YAMAHA Dealer.Do not twist Element Air Cleaner.

NOTE :
Idle speed adjustmentA diagnostic tachometer must be
used for this procedure.
1. Attach the tachometer. Start the
engine and warm it up for a few
minutes at approximately 1,300
to 1,500 r/min. Occasionally rev
the engine to 4,000 to 5,000
r/min. The engine is warm when it
quickly responds to the throttle.
1. Throttle stop screw2. Set the idle to the specified
engine speed by adjusting the
throttle stop screw. Turn the
screw in direction a to increase
engine speed and in direction b
to decrease engine speed.
Standard idle speed:
1,300 ~ 1,500 r/min
If the specified idle speed cannot be
obtained by performing the above
adjustment, consult a
dealer.YAMAHA
Throttle cable free play
adjustmentBefore checking the throttle cable
free play, the engine idling speed
should be adjusted.
Adjust the throttle cable by turning
the adjusting nut so that specified
free play at the throttle grip is
obtained.
Free play:
3 ~ 7mm

1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting nut in direction
a to increase free play and in
direction b to decrease free
play.
3. Tighten the locknut.Valve clearance adjustmentThe correct valve clearance
changes with use, resulting in
improper fuel/air supply or engine
noise. To prevent this, the valve
clearance must be adjusted
regularly. This adjustment however,
should be left to a YAMAHA dealer.

CAUTION :
Front fork inspectionSecurely support the Motorcycle
so there is no danger of it falling
over.
1. Visual check
Check for scratches or damage
on the inner tube and traces of oil
leakage from the front fork.2. Operation check
Place the Motorcycle on a level
place.
a. Hold the Motorcycle in an
upright position and apply the
front brake.
b. Push down hard on the
handlebars several times and
check if the fork rebounds
smoothly.
If any damage or unsmooth
movement is found with the front
fork, consult a YAMAHA dealer.
Steering inspectionPeriodically inspect the condition of
the steering. Worn out or loose
steering bearings may be danger-
ous. Place a stand under the engine
to raise the front wheel off the
ground. Hold the lower end of the
front forks and try to move them
forward and backward. If any free
play can be felt, ask a YAMAHA
dealer to inspect and adjust the
steering. Inspection is easier if the
front wheel is removed.
