TIPThe annual checks must b e performed every year, except if a kilometer- based maintenance, or for the UK, a
milea ge- base d maintenance, is performe d instead .
 From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).
 Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and tech-
nical skills.
