7To install the spark plug
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.3. Install the spark plug cap.

Removing the power reduc-
tion plate To obtain full engine performance ca-
pability, removing the power reduction
plate is required.1. Remove the exhaust manifold by removing the bolts. WARNING!

available whenever you want to reduce
the engine power.4. Install the exhaust manifold and itsnew gasket by installing the bolts,
and then tighten the bolts to the
specified torque.

Transmission oil The transmission oil must be checked
for oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the motorcycle. In
addition, the transmission oil must be
changed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.1. Place the motorcycle on the cen- terstand.
2. Place an oil pan under the trans- mission to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the transmission oil filler cap, the transmission oil drain bolt
and its gasket to drain the oil from
the transmission. 4. Install the transmission oil drain
bolt and its new gasket, and then
tighten the bolt to the specified
torque.
5. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended transmission
oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.

●
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the transmission oil
also lubricates the clutch), do
not mix any chemical additives.
Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of a
higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
●
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the transmission.
6. Start the engine, and then let it idlefor several minutes while checking
the transmission for oil leakage. If
oil is leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the cause.

Troubleshooting Although Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.
The following troubleshooting chart
represents a quick and easy procedure
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi- or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15141
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, including pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
gasoline vapors can ignite or ex-
plode, causing severe injury or
property damage.
