Fuel cock
1. Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetor while filtering it
also.
The fuel cock has three positions:
OFF
With the lever in this position, fuel will
not flow. Always return the lever to
this position when the engine is not
running.
ON
With the lever in this position, fuel
flows to the carburetor. Normal riding
is done with the lever in this position.RES
This indicates reserve. If you run out
of fuel while riding, move the lever to
this position. Fill the tank at the first
opportunity. Be sure to set the lever
back to “ON” after refueling!
EAU13590
Starter (choke) lever “q”
1. Starter (choke) lever
Starting a cold engine requires a
richer air-fuel mixture, which is sup-
plied by the starter (choke).
Move the lever in direction (a) to turn
on the starter (choke).
Move the lever in direction (b) to turn
off the starter (choke).

Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed
instead.
From 30000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.
