Engine oil and oil strainerThe engine oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed and the oil
strainer cleaned at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. The engine oil must
also be changed at the initial 1000 km
(600 mi) and when the oil change indi-
cator fl ashes. The oil change tripmeter
must be reset after the initial 1000 km
(600 mi). (See page 3-3 for reset pro-
cedures.)
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, remove the oil filler cap,
wipe the dipstick clean, insert it
back into the oil fi ller hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.ZAUM00**

mum level mark, add suffi cient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil fi ller
hole, and then tighten the oil fi ller
cap.
To change the engine oil and clean
the oil strainer
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolts to drain the oil
from the crankcase.
NOTICE:

When removing the engine oil
drain bolt, the O-ring, spring,
and oil strainer will fall out.
Take care not to lose these
parts.

TIPIf the engine oil is changed before
the oil change indicator flashes (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the oil change
tripmeter must be reset after the
oil change for the next periodic oil
change to be indicated at the correct

Valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with
use, resulting in improper air-fuel mix-
ture and/or engine noise. To prevent
this from occurring, the valve clear-
ance must be adjusted by a Yamaha

Checking and lubricating the
cablesThe operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables should
be checked before each ride, and
the cables and cable ends should be
lubricated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or re-
place it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in
internal rusting and cause inter-
ference with cable movement.
Replace damaged cables as soon
as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
[EWA10711]
Recommended lubricant:
Yamaha Chain and Cable Lube or
engine oil
EAU23114
Checking and lubricating the
throttle grip and cableThe operation of the throttle grip
should be checked before each ride.
In addition, the cable should be lubri-
cated by a Yamaha dealer at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance chart.
The throttle cable is equipped with a
rubber cover. Make sure that the cov-
er is securely installed. Even though
the cover is installed correctly, it does
not completely protect the cable from
water entry. Therefore, use care not to
pour water directly onto the cover or
cable when washing the vehicle. If the
cable or cover becomes dirty, wipe
clean with a moist cloth.
