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.

engine oil filler cap.
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.
7. Remove the engine oil filter ele- ment drain bolt and its gasket to
drain the oil from the oil filter ele-

12 may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.
Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vaporlock.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always cleanup 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 indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake sys-
tem 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.
EAU52953
Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. In addition, have the oil seals
of the master cylinders and calipers as
well as the brake hoses replaced every
20000 km (12000 mi) or every two
years or whenever they are damaged
or leaking.

Drive chain slackThe drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU52481
To check the drive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the sides- tand.TIPWhen checking and adjusting the drive
chain slack, there should be no weighton the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position.
3. Pull the drive chain up above the drive chain guard installation bolt
with a force of 50 N (5.0 kgf, 11
lbf).
4. Measure drive chain slack be- tween the drive chain guard and
the bottom of the chain as shown.Drive chain slack:48.0–58.0 mm (1.89–2.28 in)
