Removing and installing the
panelThe panel shown needs to be removed
to perform some of the maintenance
jobs described in this chapter. Refer to
this section each time the panel needs
to be removed and installed.
EAU52873
Panel A
To remove the panel1. Remove the seat. (See page 3-13.)
2. Remove the bolts. 3. Pull the front part of the panel out-
ward, and then remove the panel
by pulling it off.
To install the panel
1. Place the panel in the original posi- tion, and then install the bolts.
2. Install the seat.

Checking the spark plugThe spark plug is an important engine
component, which should be checked
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha
dealer. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode, it
should be removed and checked in ac-
cordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plug can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the cen-
ter electrode of the spark plug should
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color
when the vehicle is ridden normally). If
the spark plug shows a distinctly differ-
ent color, the engine could be operating
improperly. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
If the spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, it should be replaced.
Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a

wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.

Engine oil and oil filter
elementThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, remove the engine oil tank
cap, wipe the dipstick clean, insert
it back into the oil tank (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
WARNING! Never remove the
engine oil tank cap after
high-speed operation, other-
wise hot engine oil could spout
out and cause damage or injury.

pipe after high-speed operation,
otherwise the cooling system is
hot and cause burns. Always let
the engine oil cool down suffi-
ciently before removing the oil
tank cap.
[EWA16141]
NOTICE: Do not
operate the vehicle until you
know that the engine oil level is
sufficient.
[ECA10012]
4. The engine oil should be above the minimum level mark. If the engine
oil level is above the minimum lev-
el mark, continue to the next step.
If the engine oil level is below the
minimum level mark, remove the
engine oil filler cap and add the
recommended oil to bring the en-
gine oil level above the minimum
level mark.
5. Place an oil pan under the engine and then remove the engine oil
check bolt and gasket. 6. The engine oil level should be be-
low the level of the check bolt hole.
If any oil does come out, allow it to
drain.
7. Install the engine oil tank cap and

8. Install the engine oil check bolt and gasket, and then tighten the bolt to
the specified torque.
9. Start the engine and warm it up for a few minutes. Then turn the en-
gine off and wait a few minutes to
allow the oil to settle. Use the en-
gine oil tank cap and dipstick to
confirm that the engine oil level is
correct.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment) 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine guard by re- moving the bolts. 5. Remove the engine oil tank cap
and the engine oil filler cap.
6. Remove the engine oil drain bolts and their gasket to drain the oil from the oil tank and crankcase.
