shock of forced shifting.
EAU16682To start out and accelerate 1. Pull the clutch lever to disengage the clutch.
2. Shift the transmission into first gear. The neutral indicator light
should go out.
3. Open the throttle gradually, and at the same time, release the clutch
lever slowly.
4. At the recommended shift points shown in the following table, close
the throttle, and at the same time,
quickly pull the clutch lever in.
5. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the
transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.)
6. Open the throttle part way and gradually release the clutch lever.
7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.
TIP
When shifting gears in normal operat-
ing conditions, use the recommended
shift points.
EAU16701To decelerate1. Apply both the front and the rear brakes to slow the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into first gear when the motorcycle reaches
20 km/h (12 mph). If the engine is
about to stall or runs very roughly,
pull the clutch lever in and use the
brakes to stop the motorcycle.
3. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position when the motorcycle
is almost completely stopped. The neutral indicator light should come
on.

Drive chain slack
The drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU59593To check the drive chain slack 1. Place the motorcycle on the cen- terstand.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position.
3. Push on the drive chain at the cen- ter point between the drive axle
and the rear wheel axle with a
force of 50 N (5.0 kgf, 11 lbf).
4. Measure the drive chain slack as shown.
5. If the drive chain slack is incorrect, adjust it as follows.
EAU59642To adjust the drive chain slack
Consult a Yamaha dealer before ad-
justing the drive chain slack.1. Take the motorcycle off the center- stand, and then put the sidestand
down.
2. Loosen the brake pedal free play adjusting nut, brake torque rod nut,
and axle nut.
3. Loosen the drive chain puller lock- nut at each end of the swingarm.
4. Place the motorcycle on the cen- terstand.
5. To tighten the drive chain, turn the drive chain slack adjusting bolt at
each end of the swingarm in direc-
tion (a). To loosen the drive chain,
turn the adjusting bolt at each end
of the swingarm in direction (b),
and then push the rear wheel for-
ward. NOTICE: Improper drive
chain slack will overload the en-
gine as well as other vital parts
of the motorcycle and can lead
to chain slippage or breakage.
To prevent this from occurring,
keep the drive chain slack with-
in the specified limits.[ECA10572]
TIP
Using the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both drive chain pullers are in the same
position for proper wheel alignment.
