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.

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.

GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1. When overhauling the engine, replace all
gaskets and O-rings. All gasket surfaces, oil
seal lips, and O-rings must be cleaned so
that there may be no dust on them.
2. During assembly, always apply proper oil to
bearings and proper grease to oil seal lips
before installation.
EAS1SM1026LOCK WASHERS/PLATES AND COTTER
PINS
After removal, replace lock washers/plates “1”
and cotter pins with new ones. After the bolt or
nut has been tightened to specification, firmly
bend the lock tabs along a flat of the bolt or nut.
EAS1SM1027BEARINGS AND OIL SEALS
Install bearings “1” and oil seals “2” with their
manufacturer’s marks or size symbols facing
outward. During installation of an oil seal, make
sure that its main lip faces the oil chamber (the
target to be sealed). Before installation, always
apply a light coat of grease to the oil seal lip.
ECA13300
NOTICE
Do not spin a bearing with compressed air
because this will damage the bearing sur-
faces.
EAS1SM1028CIRCLIPS
When assembling parts, always use new cir-
clips. During installation of a circlip, make sure
that the edge “2” of the circlip “1” is positioned
opposite to the force “3” that the circlip re-
ceives. Install the circlip with its end aligned
with the center of the spline, without opening
the circlip more than necessary.
