IDENTIFICATION
There are two significant reasons for knowing
the serial number of your vehicle:
1. When ordering parts, you can give the num-
ber to your Yamaha dealer for positive iden-
tification of the model you own.
2. If your vehicle is stolen, the authorities will
need the number to search for and identify
your vehicle.
EAS1SM1011VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The vehicle identification number “1” is
stamped into the right side of the frame.
EAS1SM1012ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER
The engine serial number “1” is stamped into
the elevated part of the right-side of the engine.
EAS1SM1013MODEL LABEL
The model label “1” is affixed to the rear frame.
This information will be needed to order spare
parts.

FEATURESEAS1SM1014OUTLINE OF THE FI SYSTEM
The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the opti-
mum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric tempera-
ture. In the conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture to be supplied to the
combustion chamber is determined by the amount of intake air and fuel that is measured on the basis
of the jets to be used in the carburetor.
Despite the same amount of intake air, the fuel amount requirement varies with the engine operating
conditions (acceleration, deceleration, and operation under a heavy load). The carburetor that mea-
sures fuel through the use of jets are provided with various auxiliary devices, so that the optimum air
fuel ratio can be obtained to accommodate frequent changes in the operating conditions of the en-
gine. This model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection (FI) system, in place of the
conventional carburetor system. This system can obtain the optimum air-fuel ratio required by the
engine at all times by using a microprocessor that regulates the fuel injection amount according to
the engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.

FI SYSTEM
The fuel pump delivers fuel to the fuel injector via the fuel filter. The pressure regulator maintains the
fuel pressure that is applied to the fuel injector at only 324 kPa (3.24 kgf/cm
2, 47.0 psi). Accordingly,
when the energizing signal from the ECU energizes the fuel injector, the fuel passage opens, causing
the fuel to be injected into the intake manifold only during the time the passage remains open. There-
fore, the longer the length of time the fuel injector is energized (injection duration), the greater the
volume of fuel that is supplied. Conversely, the shorter the length of time the fuel injector is energized
(injection duration), the lesser the volume of fuel that is supplied.
The injection duration and the injection timing are controlled by the ECU. Signals input from the throt-
tle position sensor, the coolant temperature sensor, the crankshaft position sensor, the intake air
pressure sensor, and the intake air temperature sensor enable the ECU to determine the injection
duration. The injection timing is determined through the signals from the crankshaft position sensor.
As a result, the volume of fuel that is required by the engine can be supplied at all times in accordance
with the driving conditions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
EAS1SM1023PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND DIS-
ASSEMBLY
1. Before the jobs, completely remove mud,
dust, and the like in order to prevent the en-
try of them into the inside during the jobs.
• Before cleaning with high-pressure water of
washers, cover the following parts.
Air duct
Silencer exhaust port
Drain hole on the cylinder head (right side)
Hole under the water pump housing
2. Use proper special tools and equipment.
See “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
3. During disassembly, check and measure the
required parts, and make a record of them
so that you may refer to the record when in-
stalling them. Moreover, arrange gears, cyl-
inders, pistons, and other parts for each
section so as not to confuse or lose them.4. During disassembly, clean each of the parts,
and store them in trays for each section.
5. Flammable. Keep servicing areas away
from any source of fire.
6. During servicing, take special care not to re-
ceive an injury or a burn on the engine, the
exhaust pipe, the silencer, or the like.
7. If coolant is left adhered to the chassis, paint
and plating will be damaged. Therefore,
rinse it out with water in good time.

WARNING
Coolant is potentially harmful and should
be handled with special care.
• If it enters your eyes, wash it away with wa-
ter enough and then get medical attention
• If it splashes on your skin or clothes,
quickly wash it away with water and then
with soapy water.
• If it is swallowed, immediately induce vom-
iting and get medical attention.
EAS1SM1024REPLACEMENT PARTS
Make sure that the parts and grease or oil to be
used for repair of the vehicle, including periodic
replacement parts, are new YAMAHA genuine
parts and recommended parts.
Do not use any used parts, because these may
not be genuine though they have similar ap-
pearances or because the quality may be
changed by aging.
