TIP
Air filter
This model’s air filter is equipped wi th a disposable oil-coated paper elemen t, which must not be cleaned with com-
pressed air to avoid damaging it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more fr equently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
Every two years replace the internal components of t he brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid. Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

EWA10512
Never overload your vehicle. Opera-
tion of an overloaded vehicle couldcause an accident. Tire inspection
The tires must be checked before each
ride. If the center tread depth reaches
the specified limit, if the tire has a nail or
glass fragments in it, or if the sidewall is
cracked, have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the tire immediately.
TIPThe tire tread depth limits may differ
from country to country. Always complywith the local regulations.
WARNING
EWA10472
Have a Yamaha dealer replace
excessively worn tires. Besides
being illegal, operating the vehi-
cle with excessively worn tires
decreases riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
The replacement of all wheel
and brake-related parts, includ-
ing the tires, should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the
necessary professional knowl-
edge and experience to do so.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be “broken
in” for it to develop its optimalcharacteristics.

tires):
Up to 90 kg (198 lb) load:Front: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm

Adjusting the clutch lever free
playThe clutch lever free play should mea-
sure 10.0–15.0 mm (0.39–0.59 in) as
shown. Periodically check the clutch le-
ver free play and, if necessary, adjust it
as follows.
To increase the clutch lever free play,
turn the clutch lever free play adjusting
bolt at the clutch lever in direction (a).
To decrease the clutch lever free play,
turn the adjusting bolt in direction (b).TIPIf the specified clutch lever free play
cannot be obtained as described
above, proceed as follows. 1. Fully turn the adjusting bolt at the clutch lever in direction (a) to loos-
en the clutch cable.
2. Remove cowling B. (See page 7-8.)
3. Loosen the locknut further down the clutch cable.
4. To increase the clutch lever free play, turn the clutch lever free play
adjusting nut in direction (a). To
decrease the clutch lever free play,
turn the adjusting nut in direction
(b).
5. Tighten the locknut.
6. Install the cowling.

Checking the brake lever free
playThere should be no free play at the
brake lever end. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
WARNING
EWA14212
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of air
in the hydraulic system. If there is air
in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the
braking performance, which may re-

Brake light switchesThe brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever, should
come on just before braking takes ef-
fect. If necessary, have a Yamaha deal-
er adjust the brake light switches.

Checking the front and rear
brake padsThe front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.

Front brake pads
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicators, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without hav-

Rear brake pads
Each rear brake pad is provided with a
wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator groove. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the wear
indicator groove almost appears, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.

Checking the brake fluid levelBefore riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark.
Check the brake fluid level with the top
of the reservoir level. Replenish the
brake fluid if necessary.

Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability. Observe
these precautions:
Insufficient brake fluid may al-
