Engine oil an d oil filter ele-
mentThe 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 en gine 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, and then check the oil level
through the check window locat-
ed at the bottom-right side of the
crankcase.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To chan ge the en gine 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 oil filler cap,
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 5–15 if the oil filter element
is not being replaced.5. Remove the drive sprocket coverby removing the bolts.

WARNING
EWA16001
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking a bility or clutch oper-
ation. O bserve these precautions:
 Insufficient brake or clutch flui d
may allow air to enter the brake
or clutch system, re ducing
b rakin g or clutch performance.
 Clean the filler caps before re-
moving . Use only DOT 4 b rake
flui d from a seale d container.
 Use only the specified b rake flu-
i d ; otherwise, the ru bber seals
may deteriorate, causin g leak-
a g e.
 Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A ddin g a brake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water does not
enter the brake or clutch flui d
reservoir when refillin g. Water will si
gnificantly lower the boil-
in g point of the flui d an d may re-
sult in vapor lock.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damag e painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.The brake or clutch fluid reservoir dia-
phragm will lose its shape from the
negative pressure if the fluid level goes
down too far. Be sure to return the dia-
phragm to its original shape before in-
stalling it into the brake or clutch fluid
reservoir.
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
system leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low clutch
fluid level may indicate clutch system
leakage; therefore, be sure to check
the clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or clutch fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause before further riding.
EAU22754
Chan gin g the brake an d
clutch flui dsHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and clutch fluids at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have
the oil seals of the brake and clutch
master cylinders and calipers as well
as the brake and clutch hoses replaced
at the intervals listed below or whenev-
er they are damaged or leaking.
 Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
 Brake and clutch hoses: Replace
every four years.
