TIP
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-
based maintenance, or for the UK, a mileage-based maintenance, is per-
formed 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 technical skills.

Checking the spark plug
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plug can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug 1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Remove the spark plug as shown, with the spark plug wrench includ-
ed in the owner’s tool kit.
To check the spark plug 1. Check that the porcelain insulator around the center electrode of the spark plug is a medium-to-light tan
(the ideal color when the vehicle is
ridden normally).
TIP
If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, the engine could be oper-
ating improperly. Do not attempt to
diagnose such problems yourself. In-
stead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electrode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifica-
tion.
To install the spark plug 1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark

plug wrench, and then tighten it to
the specified torque.
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 speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.

Engine oil and oil filter
element
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. On a level surface, place the vehi- cle on the centerstand.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles. Remove the engine oil filler
cap, wipe the dipstick clean, insert
it back into the oil filler hole (with-
out screwing it in), and then re-
move it again to check the oil level.
WARNING! Never remove the
engine oil filler cap after high-
speed operation, otherwise hot
engine oil could spout out and
cause damage or injury. Always
let the engine oil cool down suf-
ficiently before removing the oil
filler cap.
[EWA17640]
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
Tightening torque:Spark plug:25 Nm (2.5 m·kgf, 18 ft·lbf)

of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Install the oil filler cap.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment) 1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the oil filter element cover bleed bolt and its gasket, and the
oil filter element drain bolt to drain
the oil from the oil filter element
chamber. 4. Remove the engine oil drain bolt
and its gasket to drain the oil from
the crankcase.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap, the engine oil tank drain bolt and
its gasket to drain the oil from the
oil tank.

NOTICE
ECA11621
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
13. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
14. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if necessary.
NOTICE
ECA11232
After changing the engine oil, make
sure to check the oil pressure as de-
scribed below.
Loosen the bleed bolt.
Start the engine and keep it
idling until oil flows out. If no oil
comes out after one minute,
turn the engine off immediately
so it will not seize. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer repair the
vehicle.
After checking the oil pressure,
tighten the bleed bolt to the
specified torque.

Replacing the air filter element
The air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas.
To replace the air filter element 1. Remove panel A. (See page 6-7.)
2. Remove the air filter case cover by removing the screws.
3. Pull the air filter element out.
4. Insert a new air filter element into the air filter case. NOTICE: Make
sure that the air filter element is
properly seated in the air filter
case. The engine should never
be operated without the air filter element installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.[ECA10482]
5. Install the air filter case cover by in-
stalling the screws.
