NOTICE

In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives with oil.
Do not use oils with a diesel specification
of “CD” or oils of a higher quality than
specified. In addition, do not use oils la-
beled “ENERGY CONSERVING II” or high-
er.


Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.
13. Start the engine, and then let it idle for sever-
al minutes while checking it for oil leakage. If
oil is leaking, immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
14. Turn the engine off, wait at least 10 minutes,
and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
15. Reinstall the console.

B. Storage
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your vehi-
cle will require some preventive procedures to
guard against deterioration. Make any necessary
repairs before storing the vehicle.
After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare for
storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the
specified amount of Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer
and Conditioner or equivalent product. Oper-
ate the vehicle for at least 5 minutes to dis-
tribute treated fuel through the fuel system.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour a teaspoonful
of engine oil into the spark plug bore and re-
install the spark plug. Ground the spark plug
wire and turn the engine over several times to
coat the cylinder wall with oil. Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel
(or 7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
