7To install the spark plu
g
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating sur-
face, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
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
specified torque as soon as possible.3. Install the spark plug cap.

Transmission oilThe transmission must be checked for
oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the motorcycle. In
addition, the transmission oil must be
changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place the motorcycle on a level surface and hold it in an upright
position.
3. Place an oil pan under the trans- mission case to collect the used
oil.
4. Remove the oil filler cap, the trans- mission oil drain bolt and its gas-
ket to drain the oil from the
transmission. 5. Install the drain bolt and its new
gasket, and then tighten the bolt
to the specified torque.
6. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended transmission
oil, and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.

NOTICE
ECA10453
In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the transmission oil
also lu bricates the clutch), do
not mix any chemical additives.
Do not use oils with a d iesel
specification of “CD” or oils of a
hi gher quality than specifie d. In
a ddition, do not use oils lab eled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
 Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the transmission.7. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
EAU20071
CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAUM1296
To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.TIPThe coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
 Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.2. Remove the radiator cap and
check the coolant level in the radi-
ator. WARNING! Never attempt
to remove the ra diator cap
when the en gine is hot.
[EWA10382]
TIPThe coolant should be at the bottom of
the radiator filler neck. The level will
change with variation of engine tem-
perature.1. Radiator cap
