Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
●Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
●Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
●Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cros-
sings).
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 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.
EAUM2281
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. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, the
engine oil and final transmis-
sion oil must be changed, andthe engine oil filter element
replaced.
[ECAM1091]
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
●The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
ECA10270
NOTICE
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

Periodic inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. Safety is an obligation
of the vehicle owner/operator. The
most important points of vehicle ins-
pection, adjustment, and lubrication
are explained on the following 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, geographical
location, and individual use, the main-
tenance intervals may need to be
shortened.

parts that can cause shocks or
fires.
●Running the engine while servi-
cing can lead to eye injury,
burns, fire, or carbon monoxide
poisoning – possibly leading to
death. See page 1-1 for more
information about carbon
monoxide.

TIP
●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 30000 km (17500 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km (3500 mi).
●Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.
