IMPORTANT INFORMATION
EAS1SL1023PREPARATION 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.
EWA
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.
EAS1SL1024REPLACEMENT PARTS

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.

STARTING AND BREAK-IN
1-23
7. To stop the engine, push the engine stop
switch “1.”
TIP
Continue pushing the engine stop switch till the
engine comes to a full stop.
EAS1SL1044STARTING A WARM ENGINE
When the engine is warm, give a kick with the
throttle closed without using the starter knob/
idle screw.
TIP
If it fails to start, fully open the throttle grip and
give 10 to 20 slow kicks to clear the engine of
the rich air-fuel mixture retained in it.
EAS1SL1045BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
A break-in is important so that rotating portion,
sliding surfaces, and mounted areas may fit
one another, and that the rider may become ac
-
customed to the machine.ECA
NOTICE
Before running, do maintenance on the air
filter element.
Refer to “CLEANING THE AIR FILTER ELE-
MENT” on page 3-12.
1. After warming up the engine, drive it for
about 20 minutes at a throttle opening of 1/2
or less.
2. Make a pit stop, and check mounted areas
for looseness, oil leaks, or other problems.
3. Then, drive it for about 40 minutes at a throt-
tle opening of 3/4 or less.
4. Make a pit stop again, and thoroughly check
mounted areas for looseness, oil leaks, or
other problems. Thorough checks and ad
-
justments are required in particular for
stretch of cables, free play of the brake,
stretch of the drive chain, looseness of the
spoke, and so on.
ECA
NOTICE
After a break-in or after each race, always
check the points shown in “TORQUE-
CHECK POINTS” for tightening torques and
retighten them. (
“TORQUE-CHECK
POINTS” on page 1-25)
Also when the following parts are replaced,
a break-in is required.
• Cylinder and Crankshaft: A break-in is re-
quired for about an hour.
• Piston, Piston ring, Valve, Camshaft, and
Gear: A break-in is required for about 30
minutes at a throttle opening of 1/2 or less.
Observe the condition of the engine careful-
ly during a break-in.
For checkpoints for a break-in, see “MAIN-
TENANCE AFTER BREAK-IN.” If any prob-
lem is found, immediately stop the engine
and make a checkup.

MAINTENANCE AFTER BREAK-IN
1-24
MAINTENANCE AFTER BREAK-IN
After a break-in, perform careful maintenance
to get ready for the next practice or race.
Refer to “PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE” on page 3-7.
EAS1SL1047MAJOR MAINTENANCE
1. For the engine
• Leaks around the engine
Check for pressure leaks from the cylinder
head or the cylinder, oil leaks from the
crankcase or the case cover, leaks from the
coolant system, and other leaks.
• Check that the valve, the cylinder head, the
cylinder, the piston, and the piston ring fit
one another, and that contact between the
valve and the cylinder head, and that be
-
tween the cylinder and the piston are cor-
rect.
• Engine oil change
Drain the oil, and check for dirt and foreign
materials such as metal chips. (If any foreign
material is mixed, disassemble and check
the crankcase.)
Pour the specified amount of the recom-
mended oil.
• AC magneto
Check for looseness in mounted areas of
the rotor and the stator.
Check that the connector is not being dis-
connected.
• Silencer
Check the main body and stay for cracks.
Check for leaks.
• Mounting bolts and nuts
Check for looseness in mounted areas of
parts, as well as engine mounting bolts and
engine brackets.
2. For the chassis
• Check welds and mounted areas of the
frame, the swingarm, the link, the bracket,
and so on, for looseness and cracks.
• Wheel (s)
Check the wheel for runout. Check the
spoke for looseness.
• Brake(s)
Check the brake disc mounting bolt for
looseness.
Check that the reservoir contains the speci-
fied amount of brake fluid. Check for leaks.
• Cable
Grease and adjust cables.
•Drive chain
Lubricate the drive chain and adjust its ten-
sion.
• Fuel tank
Clean the inside of the fuel tank. Check for
leaks.
• Suspension
Check for oil leaks in the front fork or the rear
shock absorber. Check that the mounted
conditions are good.
• Sprocket
Check for looseness in the sprocket mount-
ed on the rear wheel.
• Mounting bolts and nuts
Check mounted areas for looseness.JCA1SL1001
NOTICE
After a break-in or before each race, always
check the points shown in “TORQUE-
CHECK POINTS” for tightening torques and
retighten them. (Refer to
“TORQUE-CHECK
POINTS”.)
• Greasing and oiling
Always grease or oil the specified points.
