High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU11354
Fuel level warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately
2.2 L (0.58 US gal, 0.48 Imp.gal). When
this occurs, refuel as soon as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
EAU11485
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if a prob-
lem is detected in the electrical circuit
monitoring the engine. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
EAU11631
Speedometer unitThe speedometer unit is equipped with
a speedometer, an odometer and a
tripmeter. The speedometer shows rid-
ing speed. The odometer shows the to-
tal distance traveled. The tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since it
was last set to zero with the reset knob.
The tripmeter can be used to estimate
the distance that can be traveled with a
full tank of fuel. This information will en-
able you to plan future fuel stops.1. Reset knob


an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the kick starterlever down to restart the engine.
EAU59530
Starting the engineIn order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:

position.

The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the sid-
estand up.
See page 3-13 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and set the engine stop switch to “ ”.
The engine trouble warning light
and fuel level warning light should
come on for a few seconds, then

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

12 gine as well as other vital parts
of the motorcycle and can lead
to chain slippage or breakage.
To prevent this from occurring,
keep the drive chain slack with-
in the specified limits.
[ECA10572]
TIPUsing the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both drive chain pullers are in the sameposition for proper wheel alignment.
6. Take the motorcycle off the center- stand, and then put the sidestand down.
7. Tighten both drive chain puller locknuts, and then tighten the axle
nut and brake torque rod nut to
their specified torques.
8. Adjust the brake pedal free play. (See page 6-18.)
WARNING
EWA10661
After adjusting the brake pedal free
play, check the operation of thebrake light.
9. Make sure that the drive chain pull- ers are in the same position, the
drive chain slack is correct, and
the drive chain moves smoothly.
EAU23026
Cleaning and lubricating the
drive chainThe drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart, otherwise it will quickly wear
out, especially when riding in dusty or
wet areas. Service the drive chain as
follows.NOTICE
ECA10584
The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle, ridingin the rain or riding in wet areas.
1. Clean the drive chain with kero- sene and a small soft brush.
NOTICE: To prevent damaging
the O-rings, do not clean the
drive chain with steam cleaners,
high-pressure washers or inap-
propriate solvents.
[ECA11122]
2. Wipe the drive chain dry.
3. Thoroughly lubricate the drive chain with a special O-ring chain
lubricant. NOTICE: Do not use
engine oil or any other lubri-
cants for the drive chain, as they
