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 following 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 themsel-
ves to the correct operating clearan-
ces. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting 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.
ECAM1090
CAUTION:
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil and final transmis-
sion oil must be changed, and the
engine oil filter element replaced.
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
ECA10270
CAUTION:
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. The most important
points of inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication are explained on the follo-
wing pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, DEPENDING
ON THE WEATHER, TERRAIN, GEO-
GRAPHICAL LOCATION, AND INDIVI-
DUAL USE, THE MAINTENANCE
INTERVALS MAY NEED TO BE
SHORTENED.
