WARNINGPERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your Motorcycle
in the safest and most efficient
condition possible. Safety is an
obligation of the Motorcycle owner.
The maintenance and lubrication
schedule chart should be considered
strictly as a guide to general
maintenance and lubrication
intervals. YOU MUST TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION THAT
WEATHER, TERRAIN,
GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS,
AND A VARIETY OF INDIVIDUAL
USES ALL TEND TO DEMAND
THAT EACH OWNER ALTER THIS
TIME SCHEDULE TO SHORTER
INTERVALS TO MATCH THE
ENVIRONMENT. The most impor-
tant points of Motorcycle inspection,
adjustment, and lubrication are
explained in the following pages.If you are not familiar with
Motorcycle service, this work
should be done by a YAMAHA
dealer.
1. Tool kitTool kitThe service information included in
this manual is intended to provide
you, the owner, with the necessary
information for completing some of
your own preventive maintenance
and minor repairs. The tools
provided in the owner's tool kit are to
assist you in the performance of
periodic maintenance. However,
some other tools such as a torque
wrench are also necessary to
perform the maintenance correctly.

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.

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)

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 :
5. After adjusting, be sure to tighten
each chain adjusting locknut.
Then tighten the axle nut to the
specified torque.Maintain chain slackness
within specified limits as per
specifications.
To maintain correct axle
alignment, Ensure the notch
on the adjuster is on the same
Mark on Left and Right Side.

1. Cotter pin6. Insert a new cotter pin into the
axle nut and bend the end of the
cotter pin as shown. If the notch in
the axle nut and the cotter pin
hole do not match, tighten the nut
slightly to align them.
Always use a new cotter pin on
the axle nut.7 Adjust the free play in the
brake pedal.
Check the operation of the brake
light after adjusting the rear
brake.

2. Install the axle nut.
3. Insert the brake rod into the
brake cam lever and install the
brake free play adjusting nut.
4. Install the tension bar onto the
brake shoe plate and tighten the
tension bar nut to the specified
tightening torque.
5. Take the Motorcycle off the
centerstand.
6. Tighten the axle nut to the
specified tightening torque.
Then install a new cotter pin.
Specified torque:
Tension bar nut:
14 ft-lb (1.9 m kg)
Axle nut:
65 ft-lb (9.05 m kg)Always use a new cotter pin.
Check the operation of the brake
light after adjusting the rear brake. 7. Adjust the rear brake pedal free
play. (See page 6-17.)
TroubleshootingAlthough YAMAHA Motorcycles
receive a rigid inspection before
shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any
problem in the fuel, compression, or
ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a
quick, easy procedure for making
checks. If your Motorcycle requires
any repair, bring it to a YAMAHA
dealer. The skilled technicians at a
YAMAHA dealership have the tools,
experience, and know-how to
properly service your Motorcycle.
Use only genuine YAMAHA parts
on your Motorcycle. Imitation
parts may look like YAMAHA
parts, but they are often inferior.
Consequently, they have a shorter
service life and can lead to
expensive repair bills.
