TIP
●Make sure that the slot in the
brake \faliper bra\fket is fit over the
retainer on the s\bingarm.
●Make sure that there is enough
spa\fe bet\been the brake pads
before installing the\b \bheel.
2. Install the drive \fhain onto the rear spro\fket.
3. Install the axle nut, and then lo\b- er the rear \bheel so that it is on
the ground.
4. Adjust the drive \fhain sla\fk. (See page 7-24.)
5. Apply the rear brake several times, and then tighten the axle
nut to the spe\fified\b torque.
Tightening torque:
Axle nut:105 Nm (10.5 m·kgf, 75 ft·lbf)
EAU25871
Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motor\fy\fles re\feive
a thorough inspe\ftion before shipment
from the fa\ftory, trouble may o\f\fur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, \fompression, or ignition systems,
for example, \fan \fause poor starting
and loss of po\ber.
The follo\bing troubleshooting \fharts
represent qui\fk and easy pro\fedures
for \fhe\fking these vital systems your-
self. Ho\bever, should your motor\fy\fle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, \bhose skilled te\fhni\fians have
the ne\fessary tools, experien\fe, and
kno\b-ho\b to servi\fe the motor\fy\fle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha repla\fe-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter servi\fe life and
\fan lead to expensive repair bills.
EWA15141
W\fRNING0
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 wa-
ter heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
gasoline vapors can ignite or ex-
plode, causing severe injury or
property damage.

Care
While the ope\f desig\f o\b a motorcycle
reveals the attractive\fess o\b the tech-
\fology, it also makes it more vul\fera-
ble. Rust a\fd corrosio\f ca\f develop
eve\f i\b high-quality compo\fe\fts are
used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go u\f-
\foticed o\f a car, however, it detracts
\brom the overall appeara\fce o\b a mo-
torcycle. Freque\ft a\fd proper care
does \fot o\fly comply with the terms o\b
the warra\fty, but it will also keep your
motorcycle looki\fg good, exte\fd its
li\be a\fd optimize its per\borma\fce.
Before cleaning 1. Cover the mu\b\bler outlet with a plastic bag a\bter the e\fgi\fe has
cooled dow\f.
2. Make sure that all caps a\fd cov- ers as well as all electrical cou-
plers a\fd co\f\fectors, i\fcludi\fg
the spark plug cap, are tightly i\f-
stalled. 3. Remove extremely stubbor\f dirt,
like oil bur\ft o\fto the cra\fkcase,
with a degreasi\fg age\ft a\fd a
brush, but \fever apply such prod-
ucts o\fto seals, gaskets, sprockets,
the drive chai\f a\fd wheel axles. Al-
ways ri\fse the dirt a\fd degreaser
o\b\b with water.
Cleaning
ECA10772
NOTICE
●Avoid using strong acidic
wheel cleaners, especially on
spoked wheels. If such prod-
ucts are used on hard-to-re-
move dirt, do not leave the
cleaner on the affected area
any longer than instructed. Al-
so, thoroughly rinse the area
off with water, immediately dry
it, and then apply a corrosion
protection spray.
●Improper cleaning can damage
plastic parts (such as cowlings,
panels, windshields, headlight
lenses, meter lenses, etc.) and
the mufflers. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with wa- ter to clean plastic. However, if
the plastic parts cannot be
thoroughly cleaned with water,
diluted mild detergent with wa-
ter may be used. Be sure to
rinse off any detergent residue
using plenty of water, as it is
harmful to plastic p\5arts.
●Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-
movers or inhibitors, brake flu-
id, antifreeze or electrolyte.
●Do not use high-pressure
washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water seep-
age and deterioration in the fol-
lowing areas: seals (of wheel
and swingarm bearings, fork
and brakes), electric compo-
nents (couplers, connectors,
instruments, switches and
lights), breather hoses and
vents.

EWA11131
WARNING0
Contaminants on the brakes or
tires can cause loss \5of control.
●Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes \5or tires.
●If necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild de-
tergent. Before riding at higher
speeds, test the motorcycle's
braking performance and cor-
nering behavior.
ECA10800
NOTICE
●Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess
●Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
●Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
TIP
●Con\fult a Yamaha dealer for ad-
\bice on what product\f\f to u\fe.
●Wa\fhing, rainy weather or humid
climate\f can cau\fe the headlight
len\f to fog. Turning the headlight
on for a \fhort period of time will
help remo\be the moi\fture from
the len\f.
EAUM1901
Storage
Short-term
Alway\f \ftore your motorcycle in a cool,
dry place and, if nece\f\fary, protect it
again\ft du\ft with a porou\f co\ber.
ECA10810
NOTICE
●Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cov-
ering it with a tarp, while it is
still wet, will allow water and
humidity to seep in and cause
rust.
●To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
