Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level1. 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 set- tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment) 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil. 4. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 5–7 if the oil filter cartridge is
not being replaced.5. Remove the oil filter cartridge withan oil filter wrench.

check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low YCC-S
clutch fluid level may indicate YCC-S
clutch system leakage; therefore, be
sure to check the YCC-S clutch system
for leakage. If the brake or YCC-S
clutch fluid level goes down suddenly,
have a Yamaha dealer check the cause
before further riding.
EAU40602
Changing the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluids Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and YCC-S clutch fluids at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart or in the
TIP after the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. In addition, have the
oil seals of the brake and YCC-S clutch
master cylinders and calipers as well as
the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses re-
placed at the intervals listed below or
whenever they are damaged or leak-
ing.●
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
●
Brake and YCC-S clutch hoses:
Replace every four years.

Checking and lubricating the
cables The operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in in-
ternal rusting and cause interfer-
ence with cable movement. Replace
damaged cables as soon as possi-
ble to prevent unsafe conditions.[EWA10711]
