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.

WARNING
Turn off the engine when perfor-
ming maintenance unless otherwi-
se specified.
●A running engine has moving
parts that can catch on body
parts or clothing and electrical
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.

Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electro-
de erosion and excessive carbon
or other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.
To install the spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with
a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjust the gap to spe-
cification.
1. Spark plug gap
2. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating surfa-
ce, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque.
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. Howe-
ver, the spark plug should be tighte-
ned to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the cowling.

3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil filler hole (wit-
hout screwing it in), and then
remove it again to check the oil
level.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
