not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13222
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refueling , follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painte d surfaces or
plastic parts.

NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.

Fuel tank breather/overflow
hoseBefore operating the motorcycle:
Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose connection.
Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose for cracks or damage,
and replace it if necessary.
Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is not
blocked, and clean it if necessary.
Make sure that the fuel tank
breather/overflow hose is routed
through the clamp.

Catalytic convertersThis vehicle is equipped with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazar d or
b urns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possi ble fire hazard s such as
g rass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where ped estrians or chil dren
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has coole d down before
d oin g any maintenance work.
Do not allow the en gine to i dle
more than a few minutes. Lon g
i d lin g can cause a b uild-up of

TIPThe rear brake fluid reservoir is located
behind panel C. (See page 6-8.)
WARNING
EWA16031
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of brakin g a bility or clutch oper-
ation. O bserve these precautions:
Insufficient brake or clutch flui d
may allow air to enter the brake
or clutch system, red ucing
b rakin g or clutch performance.
Clean the filler caps before re-
movin g. Use only DOT 4 b rake
flui d from a seale d container.
Use only the specified b rake flu-
i d ; otherwise, the ru bber seals
may deteriorate, causin g leak-
a g e.
Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A ddin g a brake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water or dust
d oes not enter the brake or
clutch flui d reservoir when refill-
in g. Water will si gnificantly low-
er the boilin g point of the flui dan
d may result in vapor lock,
an d d ir
t may clo g the ABS hy-
d raulic unit valves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake flui d may damag e painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.The brake or clutch fluid reservoir dia-
phragm will lose its shape from the
negative pressure if the fluid level goes
down too far. Be sure to return the dia-
phragm to its original shape before in-
stalling it into the brake or clutch fluid
reservoir.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low clutch
fluid level may indicate clutch system
leakage; therefore, be sure to check
the clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or clutch fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause before further riding.
