If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator must
be reset after the oil change for the
next periodic oil change to be indica-
ted at the correct time. (See page
6-10).
The electrical circuit of the indicator
can be checked according to the
following procedure.1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
V-belt replacement indicator “V-
BELT”
This indicator flashes every 20000 km
(12500 mi) when the V-belt needs to
be replaced.
The electrical circuit of the indicator
can be checked according to the
following procedure. 1. Turn the key to “ON”. 2. Check that the indicator comes
on for a few seconds and then
goes off.
3. If the indicator does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for various electrical
circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of tho-
se circuits, the multi-function display
will indicate an error code.
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code
number, and then have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
ECA11790
If the multi-function display indica-
tes an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine
damage.
The self-diagnosis device also
detects problems in the immobilizer
system circuits. If a problem is detected in the immobili-
zer system circuits, the immobilizer sys-
tem indicator light will flash and the mul-
ti-function display will indicate an error
code when the key is turned to “ON”.
TIP
If the multi-function display indicates
error code 52, this could be caused
by transponder interference. If this
error appears, try the following.
1. Error code display
1. Use the code re-registering key
to start the engine.
TIP
Make sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch,

EAU15596
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe operating condition. Always follow the ins-
pection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
EWA11151
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment dama-
ge. Do not operate the vehicle if you find any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures pro-
vided in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
WARNING
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
• Check fuel level in fuel tank.
Fuel• Refuel if necessary.3-15
• Check fuel line for leakage.
• Check oil level in engine.
Engine oil• If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level. 6-10
• Check vehicle for oil leakage.
Final transmission oil• Check vehicle for oil leakage. 6-12
• Check coolant level in reservoir.
Coolant• If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level. 6-13
• Check cooling system for leakage.
• Check operation.
• If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
• Check brake pads for wear.

EAU16820
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).
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 following 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 them-
selves to the correct operating clea-
rances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAUS1810
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4000 r/min. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, be
sure to replace the engine oil
and final transmission oil.
[ECA11661]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
6000 r/min.1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
ECA10310
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should
occur during the engine break-
in period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

TIP
Engine air filter and V-belt air filters
• This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned
with compressed air to avoid damaging it.
• The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter elements need to be serviced more fre-
quently when 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 bra-
ke fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
