you in the performance of preventive
maintenance and minor repairs. How-
ever, additional tools such as a torque
wrench may be necessary to perform

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.

Engine oil and oil filter
elementThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. On a level surface, place the vehi- cle on the centerstand.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles. Remove the engine oil filler
cap, wipe the dipstick clean, insert
it back into the oil filler hole (with-
out screwing it in), and then re-
move it again to check the oil level.
WARNING! Never remove the
engine oil filler cap after
high-speed operation, other-
wise hot engine oil could spout
out and cause damage or injury.
Always let the engine oil cool
down sufficiently before remov- ing the oil filler cap.
[EWA17640]
TIPThe engine oil should be between theminimum 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.
5. Install the oil filler cap.


In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.

Make sure that no foreign mate-rial enters the crankcase.
15. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
16. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.

comes out after one minute,
turn the engine off immediately
so it will not seize. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer repair the
vehicle.

Replacing the air filter elementThe air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
To replace the air filter element 1. Remove panel A. (See page 6-7.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by removing the screws.
3. Pull the air filter element out. 4. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case. NOTICE: Make
sure that the air filter element is
properly seated in the air filter
case. The engine should never
be operated without the air filter
element installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
[ECA10482]
5. Install the air filter case cover by in- stalling the screws.
6. Install the panel.
