Valve clearance
The correct valve clearance changes with use, re-
sulting in improper fuel/air supply or engine noise.
To prevent this, the valve clearance must be ad-
justed regularly. This adjustment however, should
be left to a professional Yamaha service techni-
cian.Tightening torque:

Brake fluid replacement
Complete fluid replacement should be done only
by trained Yamaha service personnel. Have a
Yamaha dealer replace the following components
during periodic maintenance or when they are
damaged or leaking.

Replace the oil seals every two years.


Replace the brake hoses every four years.

Checking the brake pedal
Have a Yamaha dealer check the brakes at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. There should be no free play in
the brake pedal. The brakes should operate
smoothly and there should be no brake drag. If the
brakes feel soft or spongy, this could indicate air in
the brake system. Have a Yamaha dealer check
the brake system if necessary.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha vehicles receive an inspection
before shipment from the factory, trouble may oc-
cur during operation. Any problem in the fuel, com-
pression, or ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The troubleshooting
chart describes a quick, easy procedure for mak-
ing checks. If your vehicle requires any repair, take
it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to prop-
erly service your vehicle. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imitation parts may
look like Yamaha parts, but they are often inferior.
Consequently, they have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do not smoke
and make sure there are no open flames or
sparks in the area, including pilot lights from
water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or gaso-
line vapors can ignite or explode, causing se-
vere injury or property damage.
