MAINTENANCE INTERVALS FOR COMPETITION USE
• The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
• Hydraulic brake service • After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid
levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
MAINTENANCE INTERVALS FOR COMPETITION USE
• The following schedule is intended as a general guide to mainten ance and lubrication. Bear in mind that such factors as
weather, terrain, geographical location, and individual usage will alter the required maintenance and lubrication intervals.
If you are a doubt as to what intervals to follow in mainta ining and lubricating your machine, consult your Yamaha dealer.
• Periodic inspection is essential in making full use of the ma chine performance. The service life of the parts varies sub-
stantially according to the environment in which the machine runs (e.g., rain, dirt, etc.). Therefore, earlier inspection is
required by reference to the list below.
15 Sidestand pivot Check operation.
√√√
Apply lithium-soap-bas ed grease (all-purpose
grease) lightly.
16 * Front fork Check operation and for oil leakage.
√√
Replace if necessary.
17 * Shock absorber assembly Check operation and for oil leakage.
√√
Replace if necessary.
18 * Rear suspension link pivots Apply molybdenum disulfide grease lightly. √√
19 * Control cables Apply Yamaha chain and cable lube or engine
oil 10W-30 thoroughly. √√√
20 * Throttle grip housing and cable Check operation and free play.
√√√
Adjust the throttle cable free play if necessary.
Lubricate the throttle grip housing and cable.
21 * Chassis fasteners Check all chassis fitting and fasteners.
√√√
Correct if necessary.
