OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:●
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
●
Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.
●
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17113
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 2500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil and
transfer case oil must be changed,
and the oil filter cartridge or element
replaced.
[ECA10892]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3500
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.NOTICE
ECA10310
●
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
●
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi- cle.

TIP●
Air filter This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with com- pressed air to avoid damaging it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
●
Hydraulic brake and clutch service Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid and clutch fluid levels.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers as well as clutch master and release cylinders, and change the brake and clutch fluids.
Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

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 a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Remove the rider seat. (See page 3-16.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up until the engine oil has reached a nor-
mal temperature of 60 °C (140 °F),
let it continue to idle for ten sec-
onds, and then turn the engine off.TIPTo achieve the proper engine oil tem-
perature for an accurate oil level read-
ing, the engine must have first completely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes to
normal operating temperature.
4. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the engine oil filler
cap, wipe the engine oil dipstick
clean, insert it back into the oil filler
hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the
oil level.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
5. If the engine oil is at or below theminimum level mark, add sufficient
oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.TIPWhen adding oil, be careful not to over-
fill the engine oil tank; the oil level rises
faster starting from the half level portion
on the dipstick.6. Insert the dipstick into the oil fillerhole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
7. Install the rider seat.

Make sure that the oil filler cap is se-
curely tightened, otherwise oil may

without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment)1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face.
2. Remove the rider seat. (See page 3-16.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
4. Place an oil pan under the oil tank to collect the used oil.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap, the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the oil
tank. 6. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
7. Remove engine oil drain bolts A and B, and their gasket to drain the
oil from the crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 8–10 if the oil filter cartridge
is not being replaced.8. Remove the oil filter cartridge withan oil filter wrench.TIPAn oil filter wrench is available at a
Yamaha dealer.9. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter
cartridge.
