Startin g the eng ine
WARNING
EWA16411
Always apply the front or rear brake
while the main switch is in the “ON”
position an d the transmission is in
g ear. Otherwise, the vehicle may
su ddenly start to move when the en-
g ine is starte d, causin g loss of con-
trol an d possi bly an acci dent.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
 The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in the neu-
tral position whether the sidestand
is up or down.
 The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in gear and
the sidestand is up.
See page 3-48 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the start/engine stop
switch is set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off. Oil level warning light
 Engine trouble warning light
 Traction control system indi-
cator/warning light
 Cruise control indicator lights
 Electronically adjustable sus-
pension system warning light
 Shift down indicator light

TIP
If the stop mode function was activat-
ed when the key was turned to “OFF”
then the stop mode function is still ac-
tivated and the indicator light will re-
main on.

2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position. The neutral indi-
cator light should come on. If not,
ask a Yamaha dealer to check the
electrical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the “ ” side of the start/engine
stop switch with the front or rear
brake applied.

Checkin g the spark plu gs
The spark plugs are important engine
components, which should be
checked periodically, preferably by a
Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depos- its will cause any spark plug to slowly
erode, they should be removed and
checked in accordance with the peri-
odic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plugs can reveal the condition of
the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of each spark plug
should be a medium-to-light tan (the
ideal color when the vehicle is ridden
normally), and all spark plugs installed
in the engine should have the same
color. If any spark plug shows a dis-
tinctly different color, the engine could
be operating improperly. Do not at-
tempt to diagnose such problems
yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, it should be replaced.
Before installing a spark plug, the
spark plug gap should be measured
with a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjusted to specification. Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the spark
plug threads.
TIP
If 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.
NOTICE
ECA10841
Do not use any tools to remove or in-
stall the spark plu
g cap, otherwise
the i gnition coil coupler may get
d amag ed . The spark plu g cap may
b e difficult to remove because the
ru bber seal on the en d of the cap fits
ti g htly. To remove the spark plu g
cap, simply twist it b ack and forth
while pullin g it out; to install it, twist
it back an d forth while pushin g it in.

Canister
This model is equipped with a canister
to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere. Before operating
this vehicle, make sure to check the
following:
 Check each hose connection.
 Check each hose and canister for
cracks or damage. Replace if
damaged.
 Make sure that the canister
breather is not blocked, and if
necessary, clean it.
EAU19888
Engine oil an d oil filter car-
tri dge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand. 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-left side of the
crankcase.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

8. Install the engine oil drain bolt and
its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
9. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.
TIP
Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.
NOTICE
ECA11621
In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the en gine oil also
lu bricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a hi gh-
er quality than specified . In
a dd ition, do not use oils la bele d
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
 Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
10. 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.
TIP
After the engine is started, the engine
oil level warning light should go off if
the oil level is sufficient.
NOTICE
ECA10402
If the oil level warnin g li ght flickers
or remains on even if the oil level is
correct, imme diately turn the en gine
off an d have a Yamaha d ealer check
the vehicle.
11. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.

sary.
7. Install the oil filler bolt and its gas- ket, and then tighten the bolt to
the specified torque.
8. Check the final gear case for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, check for
the cause.

Coolant
The 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.
EAU54163To check the coolant level1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
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 left cowling vent pan-
el. (See page 3-41.)
3. Check the coolant level in the coolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
