EVU00410Engine oil
Make sure the engine oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See pages 8-10–
8-15.)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 labeled “EN-
ERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
●
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
EVU00420Coolant
Check the coolant level in the coolant reser-
voir when the engine is cold (the coolant level
will vary with engine temperature).
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between
the minimum and maximum level marks on
the coolant reservoir. If the coolant level is at
or below the minimum level mark, add addi-
tional coolant to bring the level up to maxi-
mum level mark. If coolant is not available,
add distilled water. Change the coolant every
two years. (See pages 8-22–8-23 for details.)NOTICEHard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can-
not get distilled water.
Recommended engine oil type and
quantity:See pages 10-1–10-2.
Coolant reservoir capacity
(up to the maximum level mark):0.32 L (0.34 US qt, 0.28 Imp.qt)

5. Insert the dipstick completely into the oilfiller hole, and then remove it again to
check the oil level. TIPThe engine oil should be between the mini-
mum and maximum level marks.1. Maximum level mark 2. Minimum level mark6. If the engine oil is at or below the mini-mum level mark, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to the cor-
rect level. 7. Insert the dipstick completely into the oil
filler hole.
8. Install the console.

3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole,add sufficient oil of the recommended
type to raise it to the correct level.
NOTICE: Be sure no foreign material
enters the final gear case.
4. Install the oil filler bolt and its new O-ring,
and then tighten the bolt to the specified
torque. Changing the final gear oil
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the final gear case guard by re- moving the bolts and the collars.

Checking the differential gear oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Remove the differential gear oil filler bolt and its gasket, and then check the oil lev-
el. It should be up to the brim of the filler
hole.
3. If the level is low, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to the spec-
ified level. NOTICE: Be sure no foreign
material enters the differential gear
case.
Tightening torque:
Final gear case guard bolt: 7 Nm (0.7 m·kgf, 5.1 ft·lbf)

6. Wash the sponge material gently butthoroughly in parts cleaning solvent.
WARNING! Using gasoline or other
flammable solvents to clean the air fil-
ter element can cause a fire or explo-
sion, which could lead to serious
injury.
7. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the sponge material. NOTICE: Do not twist
the sponge material when squeezing
it. 8. Wash the sponge material in warm soapy
water to remove remaining solvent, then
rinse thoroughly with plain warm water.
9. Squeeze excess water out of the sponge material. NOTICE: Do not twist the
sponge material when squeezing it.
10. Allow the sponge material to dry thor- oughly. Inspect the sponge material and
replace it if damaged.
11. Thoroughly apply Yamaha foam air filter oil or other quality liquid foam air filter oil
(not spray type) to the sponge material.
The sponge material should be wet but
not dripping.
12. Pull the sponge material over its frame.
13. Install the air filter element.

WARNING
Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability. Observe these precautions:●
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to
enter the brake system, reducing brak-
ing performance.
●
Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a
sealed container.
●
Use only the specified brake fluid; oth-
erwise, the rubber seals may deterio-
rate, causing leakage.
●
Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4
may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion.
●
Be careful that water does not enter
the brake fluid reservoir when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boil-
ing point of the fluid and may result in
vapor lock.
NOTICEBrake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately.As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage; therefore,
be sure to check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage. If the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cause before further riding.EVU00860Brake 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.
