WARNING
Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability. Observe these precau-
tions:●
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, reducing
braking performance.
●
Clean the filler cap before removing.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a
sealed container.
●
Use only the specified brake fluid;
otherwise, the rubber seals may dete-
riorate, causing leakage.
●
Refill with the same type of brake flu-
id. Adding a brake fluid other than
DOT 4 may result in a harmful chemi-
cal reaction.
●
Be careful that water does not enter
the brake fluid reservoir when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower the
boiling point of the fluid and may re-
sult in vapor lock.
NOTICEBrake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately.As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage; therefore,
be sure to check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage. If the brake fluid
level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cause before further riding.EVU00860Brake fluid replacementComplete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.●
Replace the oil seals every two years.
●
Replace the brake hoses every four years.

EVU00880Brake light switch adjustmentThe brake light switch, which is activated by
the brake pedal, is properly adjusted when the
brake light comes on just before braking takes
effect. If necessary, adjust the brake light
switch as follows.
Turn the adjusting nut while holding the brake
light switch in place. To make the brake light
come on earlier, turn the adjusting nut in
direction a. To make the brake light come on
later, turn the adjusting nut in direction b.1. Brake light switch 2. Adjusting nut

1-CLEANING AND STORAGE
CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the vehicle:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy,
apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles. 3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds
to let friction dry out the linings. Wet
brakes may have reduced stopping
ability, increasing the chance of an ac-
cident. NOTICE: Excessive water
pressure may cause water seepage
and deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and elec-
trical devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper
high-pressure detergent applications,
such as those available in coin-oper-
ated car washers.1XP7C_EE.book Page 1 Monday, June 9, 2014 5:17 PM

5B410025StorageLong term storage (60 days or more) of your
vehicle will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. Make
any necessary repairs before storing the vehi-
cle.
After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare
for storage as follows:1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or equivalent
product. Operate the vehicle for at least
5 minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system. 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.
Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)1XP7C_EE.book Page 3 Monday, June 9, 2014 5:17 PM
