OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.


Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and 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 crossings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17112
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 2500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil and
transfer case oil must be changed,
and the oil filter cartridge or element
replaced.
[ECA10892]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3500
r/min.1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10310


Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.


If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-cle.

TIP

Air filter
This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with com-
pressed air to avoid damaging it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Remove the rider seat. (See page
3-16.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up until
the engine oil has reached a nor-
mal temperature of 60 °C (140 °F),
let it continue to idle for ten sec-
onds, and then turn the engine off.TIPTo achieve the proper engine oil tem-
perature for an accurate oil level read-
ing, the engine must have firstcompletely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes to
normal operating temperature.
4. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the engine oil dipstick clean, insert
it back into the oil filler hole (with-
out screwing it in), and then re-
move it again to check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.
5. If the engine oil is at or below the
minimum level mark, add sufficient
oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.
TIPWhen adding oil, be careful not to over-
fill the engine oil tank; the oil level rises
faster starting from the half level portionon the dipstick.
6. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
7. Install the rider seat.

ment)
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
2. Remove the rider seat. (See page
3-16.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
4. Place an oil pan under the oil tank
to collect the used oil.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the oil tank.6. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
7. Remove engine oil drain bolts A
and B to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 8–10 if the oil filter cartridgeis not being replaced.

TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properlyseated.
10. Install the new oil filter cartridge
with an oil filter wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.11. Install the engine oil drain bolts,
and then tighten them to the spec-
ified torques.12. Pour only 2.5 L (2.6 US qt,
2.2 Imp.qt) of the specified amount
of recommended engine oil
through the filler hole, insert the
dipstick, and then tighten the oil fill-
er cap.
13. Start the engine, rev it several
times, and then turn it off.
14. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
and then gradually fill the oil tank
with the remaining oil quantity
while regularly checking the oil lev-
el on the dipstick.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-tem have cooled down.
