Transmission oil
The transmission oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the transmission oil must be changed
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
To check the transmission oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:

Make sure that the vehicle is positionedstraight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in a
false reading.
2. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
NOTE:

The transmission oil should be be-
tween the minimum and maximum lev-
el marks.
3. If the oil is below the minimum lev-
el mark, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to
the correct level.
4. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the transmission oil
1. Place an oil pan under the trans-
mission to collect the used oil.
2. Remove the oil filler cap and drain
bolt to drain the oil from the trans-
mission.
3. Install the transmission oil drain
bolt, and then tighten it to the spec-
ified torque.
4. Add the specified amount of the
recommended transmission oil,
and then install and tighten the oil
filler cap.

CAUTION:

ECA10452

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

Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the transmission.
5. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
the transmission for oil leakage. If
oil is leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the cause.

1. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
2. Pull the air filter element out.3. Remove the sponge material from
the air filter case cover, clean it
with solvent, and then squeeze the
remaining solvent out.

Checking the front and rear
brake shoes
The front and rear brake shoes must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
NOTE:

The wheels must be removed to check
brake shoe lining thickness.

To remove the front wheel: See
page 6-23.

To remove the rear wheel: See
page 6-26.
FrontRear
If the lining thickness of a brake shoe is
less than 1.5 mm (0.06 in), have a
Yamaha dealer replace the brake
shoes as a set.
NOTE:

Be sure to measure the brake lining at
the thinnest portion.
EAU22760
Drive chain slack
The drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU22773
To check the drive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the side-
stand.
NOTE:

When checking and adjusting the drive
chain slack, there should be no weight
on the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position.
3. Move the rear wheel by pushing
the motorcycle to locate the tight-
est portion of the drive chain, and
then measure the drive chain slack
as shown.
Drive chain slack:
40.0–53.0 mm (1.57–2.09 in)
