Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:
●The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK,
a mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
●From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).
●Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.
