OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
5-4

EAU16830
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 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
1000 km (600 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.
EAUM2280
0–500 km (0–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
CAUTION:
ECAM1090
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil and final transmission
oil must be changed, and the engineoil filter element replaced.
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.CAUTION:
ECA10270
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.
EAU17212
Parking When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
WARNING
EWA10310


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.


Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehiclemay overturn.
CAUTION:
ECA10380
Never park in an area where there
are fire hazards such as grass orother flammable materials.

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.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment)
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and the engine oil drain bolt to
drain the oil from the crankcase.
4. Check the drain bolt washer for
damage and replace it if neces-
sary.
NOTE:Skip steps 5–9 if the oil filter element isnot being replaced.
5. Remove the oil filter element cover
by removing the bolts.

O-ring.
7. Check the O-ring for damage and
replace it if necessary.
8. Install the new oil filter element and
an O-ring.
9. Install the oil filter element cover by
installing the bolts, then tightening
them to the specified torque.
NOTE:Make sure that the O-ring is properlyseated.
10. Install the washer and the engine
oil drain bolt, and then tighten the
drain bolt to the specified torque.NOTE:Make sure that the washer is properlyseated.
11. Add 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:
ECA11670


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.


Be sure no foreign material en-ters the crankcase.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
13. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
14. Reset the oil change indicator.
