TIP
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a
mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and technicalskills.

TIP
Air filter
This model’s air intake system is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element. The air filter element cannot
be cleaned with compressed air, it must be replaced.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more fr equently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
After disassembling the brake master cylinder and caliper, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid
level and fill the reservoir as required.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake fluid. Replace the brake hose every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Checking the spark plugThe spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plug can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug 1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Remove the spark plug as shown, with the spark plug wrench includ-
ed in the owner’s tool kit. To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insulator around the center electrode of the
spark plug is a medium-to-light tan
(the ideal color when the vehicle is
ridden normally).
TIPIf the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, the engine could be oper-
ating improperly. Do not attempt to
diagnose such problems yourself. In-
stead, have a Yamaha dealer checkthe vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electrode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, and replace it if necessary.
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifica-
tion.
To 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

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.
EAU59622
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.

To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment)

off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
3. Loosen the oil filter element cover bleed bolt and oil filter element
drain bolt.
4. Remove the engine oil drain bolt and its gasket to drain the oil from
the crankcase. 5. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
the engine oil tank drain bolt and
its gasket to drain the oil from the
oil tank. 6. Remove the oil filter element drain
bolt to drain the oil from the oil filter
element.
TIPSkip steps 7–9 if the oil filter element isnot being replaced.
7. Remove the oil filter element cover by removing the bolts.
8. Remove and replace the oil filter element and O-rings.TIPMake sure that the O-rings are properlyseated.
