OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU16841
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17121
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
r/min.
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5400
r/min.
CAUTION:
ECA10331
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil and final gear oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-tridge or element replaced.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.CAUTION:
ECA10310


Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.


If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-cle.
EAU40581
Parking When parking, stop the engine by turn-
ing the main switch to “OFF”, and then
remove the key.NOTE:When the main switch is turned to
“OFF” and the transmission is in gear,the rear wheel cannot be moved.
WARNING
EWA14521


Always stop the engine using
the main switch. When the en-
gine stop switch has been used
in an emergency, be sure to ap-
ply the front or rear brake while
the main switch is still on, as the
clutch automatically disengag-
es a few seconds after the en-
gine is turned off, and the rear
wheel will move freely.


Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them.

6Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a
wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-fied torque as soon as possible.
EAU19883
Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in afalse reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.
Specified spark plug:
NGK/CR8E
DENSO/U24ESR-N1. Spark plug gapSpark plug gap:
0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kgf, 9.0 ft·lbf)

NOTE:The engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment)
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face.2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the crankcase.
NOTE:Skip steps 5–7 if the oil filter cartridge isnot being replaced.
5. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.
NOTE:An oil filter wrench is available at aYamaha dealer.
6. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to
the O-ring of the new oil filter car-
tridge.

NOTE:
Make sure that the O-ring is properlyseated.
7. Install the new oil filter cartridge,
and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench.8. Install the engine oil drain bolt, and
then tighten it to the specified
torque.
NOTE:
Check the washer for damage and re-place it if necessary.
9. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.
NOTE:Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-tem have cooled down.CAUTION:
ECA11620


In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.


Make sure that no foreign mate-rial enters the crankcase.
