PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4-1
Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle's condition. Your Motorcycle's vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly- even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements). Any
damage. fluid leak or loss of tyre pressure could have serious consequence Therefore' it is very important that, in
addition to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

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 :
KEEP RECOMMENDED TYRE PRESSURE IN BOTH THE TYRES
2. Locknut
3. Adjusting nut
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.

Tyre inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tyre equals the
ambient air temperature. Tyre
inflation pressure must be adjust-
ed according to total weight of
cargo, rider, passenger, and
accessories (fairing, saddlebags,
etc. approved for this model), and
vehicle speed.Proper loading of your Motorcycle
is important for several character-
istics of your Motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance
and safety. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift.
Securely pack your heaviest items
close to the center of the Motorcy-
cle, and distribute the weight
evenly from side to side. Properly
adjust the suspension for your
load, and check the condition and
pressure of your tyres. NEVER
OVERLOAD YOUR
MOTORCYCLE. Make sure the
total weight of the cargo, rider,
passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc.
approved for this model) does not
exceed the maximum load of the
Motorcycle. Operation of an over-
loaded Motorcycle could cause
tyre damage, an accident, or even
injury.2. Tyre inspection
Always check the tyres before
operating the Motorcycle. If a tyre
tread shows crosswise lines
(minimum tread depth), if the tyre
has a nail or glass fragments in it,
or if the side wall is cracked,
contact a dealer
immediately and have the tyre
replaced.YAMAHAPERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR

A. CLEANINGFrequent, thorough cleaning of your
Motorcycle will not only enhance its
appearance but will improve its
general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the Motorcycle:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust
pipe to prevent water entry; a
plastic bag and strong rubber
band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all
filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively
greasy, apply degreaser with a
paint brush. Do not apply
degreaser to the chain, sprockets,
or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with a garden hose. Use only
enough pressure to do the job.Direct excessive Hose Pressure
may cause water Entry Into Wheel
Bearing, Front Fork Brakes,
Transmission Seals & Electrical
Parts, there-by leading to its
Detorioration.

Improper cleaning can damage
the cowlings, panels and other
plastic parts. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with mild
detergent and water to clean
plastic.
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts.
Alaways use clean cloth or
sponge for cleaning the
Motorcycle.
CAUTION :4. After riding on dirty roads, wash
the Motorcycle with cold water
immediately. Do not use warm
water to clean the tyre.
5. Once the majority of the dirt has
been hosed off, wash all surfaces
with warm water and mild,
detergent-type soap. An old
toothbrush or bottle brush is
handy for hard-to-get-at places.
6. Rinse the Motorcycle off
immediately with clean water and
dry all surfaces with a chamois,
clean towel, or soft absorbent
cloth.
7. Dry the chain and lubricate it to
prevent rust.
