TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts af-
ter the engine and exhaust system have
cooled down.NOTICE●
In order to prevent clutch slippage
(since the engine oil also lubricates
the clutch), do not mix any chemical
additives with oil. Do not use oils with
a diesel specification of “CD” or oils
of a higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled “EN-
ERGY CONSERVING II” or higher.
●
Make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking it for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, immediately turn
the engine off and check for the cause. 13. Turn the engine off, wait at least 10 min-
utes, and then check the oil level and cor-
rect it if necessary.
14. Install the right rear panel by installing the bolts and the quick fastener screws.
15. Lower the cargo bed.1XP7B_EE.book Page 14 Tuesday, February 4, 2014 3:40 PM

2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon of SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50
motor oil in the spark plug hole and install
the spark plug. Ground the spark plug
wire and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo-
sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to
any rubber parts or the seat covers. 7. Remove the battery and charge it. Store
it in a dry place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in an ex-
cessively warm or cold place [less than
0 °C (30 °F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)].
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner elimi-
nates the need to drain the fuel system. Con-
sult a Yamaha dealer if the fuel system needs
to be drained.1XP7B_EE.book Page 3 Tuesday, February 4, 2014 3:40 PM
