Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor is an important part of
the engine and requires very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Therefore, all car-
buretor adjustments should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the neces-
sary professional knowledge and
experience.

measure 2.0–5.0 mm (0.08–0.20 in) at
the throttle grip. Periodically check
the throttle cable free play and, if
necessary, adjust it as follows.
TIP
The engine idling speed must be
correctly adjusted before checking
and adjusting the throttle cable free
play.
1. Loosen the locknut.2. To increase the throttle cable free
play, turn the adjusting nut in
direction (a). To decrease the
throttle cable free play, turn the
adjusting nut in direction (b).

Checking the brake fluid
level
1. Minimum level mark
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
master cylinder is level by turning
the handlebars.
Use only the recommended qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performan-
ce.
Be careful that water does not
enter the master cylinder when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
Brake fluid may deteriorate pain-
ted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if
the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
Recommended brake fluid:

3. Turn the key to “ ” and turn on

the devices operate.
4. If the fuse immediately blows
again, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical system.

Engine overheating (CS50Z)EWA10400
sWARNING
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the his-
sing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIP
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.
The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.
Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
