brand. Use of unleaded fuel will
extend spark plug life and reduce
maintenance costs.EAU13445
Catalytic converters
This vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
s s
WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. To prevent a fire hazard
or burns:
●Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
●Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
●Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down befo-
re doing any maintenance
work.
●Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
ECA10701
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
unrepairable damage to the cataly-
tic converter.

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.

●The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
●Hydraulic brake service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the bra-
ke fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
