TIP
The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.

Removing and installing the
panel The panel shown needs to be removed
to perform some of the maintenance
jobs described in this chapter. Refer to
this section each time the panel needs
to be removed and installed.
EAU52872
Panel A
To remove the panel1. Remove the seat. (Seepage 3-13.)
2. Remove the bolts. 3. Pull the front part of the panel out-
ward, and then remove the panel
by pulling it off.
To install the panel
1. Place the panel in the original posi- tion, and then install the bolts.
2. Install the seat.

Checking the spark plug The spark plug is an important engine
component, which should be checked
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha
dealer. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode, it
should be removed and checked in ac-
cordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plug can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the cen-
ter electrode of the spark plug should
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color
when the vehicle is ridden normally). If
the spark plug shows a distinctly differ-
ent color, the engine could be operating
improperly. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
If the spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, it should be replaced.
Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a

wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
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.

Engine oil and oil filter
element The 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. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, remove the engine oil tank
cap, wipe the dipstick clean, insert
it back into the oil tank (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
WARNING! Never remove the
engine oil tank cap after
high-speed operation, other-
wise hot engine oil could spout
out and cause damage or injury.
1. Spark plug gapSpark plug gap:0.7–0.8 mm (0.028–0.031 in)
Tightening torque: Spark plug: 13 Nm (1.3 m·kgf, 9.4 ft·lbf)

9And do not touch the radiator
pipe after high-speed operation,
otherwise the cooling system is
hot and cause burns. Always let
the engine oil cool down suffi-
ciently before removing the oil
tank cap.
[EWA16140]
NOTICE: Do not
operate the vehicle until you
know that the engine oil level is
sufficient.
[ECA10011]
TIPThe engine oil should be above theminimum level mark. 4. Remove the engine oil check bolt
and its gasket, and then check the
engine oil level.
TIPThe engine oil should be below the brimof the check bolt hole. 5. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the brim of the engine oil check
bolt hole.

To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment) 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine guard by re- moving the bolts.
5. Remove the engine oil tank cap and the engine oil filler cap.
6. Remove the engine oil drain bolts and their gasket to drain the oil
from the oil tank and crankcase. 7. Remove the engine oil filter ele-
ment drain bolt and gasket to drain
the oil from the oil filter element.

installing the bolts, and then tight-
en the bolts to the specified torque.
TIPMake sure that the O-rings are properlyseated.
11. Install the engine oil drain bolts and their new gasket, and then
tighten the bolts to the specified
torques. 12. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the engine
oil tank cap and the oil filler cap.
