EAS2GB2014OUTLINE 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.

EAS2GB2015FI 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.

STARTING AND BREAK-IN
EAS2GB2051FUEL
Always use the recommended fuel as stated
below. Also, be sure to use new gasoline the
day of a race.
ECA
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of
leaded gasoline will cause severe damage
to the engine internal parts such as valves,
piston rings, and exhaust system, etc.
TIP
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use
premium unleaded gasoline with a pump oc-
tane number [(R+M)/2] of 91 or higher, or a re-
search octane number of 95 or higher. If
knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of
a different brand.
EWA
WARNING
• For refueling, be sure to stop the engine
and use enough care not to spill any fuel.
Also be sure to avoid refueling close to a
fire.
• Refuel after the engine, exhaust pipe, etc.
have cooled off.
Gasohol (For USA and Canada)
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if the
ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol
containing methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it can cause damage to the
fuel system or vehicle performance problems.
EAS2GB2052HANDLING NOTEEWA
WARNING
Never start or run the engine in a closed ar-
ea. The exhaust fumes are poisonous; they
can cause loss of consciousness and death
in a very short time. Always operate the ma-
chine in a well-ventilated area.
ECA
NOTICE
• Unlike a two-stroke engine, this engine
cannot be kick started when the throttle is
open because the kickstarter may kick
back. Also, if the throttle is open the air/
fuel mixture may be too lean for the engine
to start.
• Before starting the machine, perform the
checks in the pre-operation check list.
EAS2GB2053AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
According to “CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
ELEMENT” section in the CHAPTER 3, apply
the foam-air-filter oil or its equivalent to the ele-
ment. (Excess oil in the element may adversely
affect engine starting.)
EAS2GB2054STARTING A COLD ENGINEECA
NOTICE
For maximum engine life, never accelerate
hard when the engine is cold!
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off system to
enable starting, one of the following conditions
must be met:
• The transmission is in the neutral position.
• The transmission is in gear with the clutch le-
ver pulled.
1. Pull the starter knob/idle screw “1” to its full
length.
TIP
When the ambient temperature is 15°C (59°F)
or below, use the starter knob/idle screw.
2. Completely close the throttle.
3. Start the engine by pushing the start switch.
If the engine fails to start when using the
start switch, release it, wait a few seconds,
and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be as short as
possible to preserve the battery. Do not
crank the engine more than 10 seconds on
any one attempt. If the engine does not start
with the starter motor, try using the kickstart-
er. Recommended fuel
Premium unleaded gasoline

STARTING AND BREAK-IN
1-34
EAS2GB2056BREAK-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 3-14.
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. (Refer to “TORQUE-CHECK
POINTS” on page 1-36.)
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.

• Under a stony or a hard road condition, the
tire pressure should be higher to prevent a flat
tire.
EAS2GB2142FRONT FORK SETTING
The front fork setting should be made depend-
ing on the rider’s feeling of an actual run and
the circuit conditions.
The front fork setting includes the following
three factors:
1. Setting of air spring characteristics
• Change the fork oil amount.
2. Setting of spring preload
• Change the spring.
3. Setting of damping force
• Change the compression damping force.
• Change the rebound damping force.
The spring acts on the load and the damping
force acts on the cushion travel speed.
EAS2GB2143CHANGE IN AMOUNT AND CHARACTERIS-
TICS OF FORK OIL
Damping characteristic near the final stroke
can be changed by changing the fork oil
amount.
EWA
WARNING
Adjust the oil amount in 5 cm3 (0.2 US oz,
0.2 Imp.oz) increments or decrements. Too
small oil amount causes the front fork to
produce a noise at full rebound or the rider
to feel some pressure on his hands or body.
Alternatively, too large oil amount will
cause the air spring characteristics to have
a tendency to be stiffer with the consequent
deteriorated performance and characteris-
tics. Therefore, adjust the front fork within
the specified range.
EAS2GB2144SETTING OF SPRING AFTER REPLACE-
MENT
As the front fork setting can be easily affected
by the rear suspension, take care so that the
front and the rear are balanced (in position etc.)
when setting the front fork.
1. Use of soft spring
• Change the rebound damping force.
Turn out one or two clicks.
• Change the compression damping force.
Turn in one or two clicks.
TIP
Generally a soft spring gives a soft riding feel-
ing. Rebound damping tends to become stron-
ger and the front fork may sink deeply over a
series of gaps.
2. Use of stiff spring
• Change the rebound damping force.
Turn in one or two clicks.
• Change the compression damping force.
Turn out one or two clicks. Extent of adjustment
