Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU36532
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4100
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA11283]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5000
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

Adjusting the rear brake lock
cable
Rear brake lock cable adjustment may
be required if the rear brake lock lever
does not hold properly. When the rear
brake lock lever is not in use, the rear
brake lock cable length should mea-
sure 43–45 mm (1.69–1.77 in) at the
rear brake caliper.
Periodically check the rear brake lock
cable length and, if necessary, adjust it
as follows.
To increase the rear brake lock cable
length, turn the adjusting nut at the rear
brake caliper in direction (a). To de-
crease the rear brake lock cable length,
turn the adjusting nut in direction (b).
WARNING! If proper adjustment
cannot be obtained as described,
have a Yamaha dealer make this ad-
justment.
[EWA16151]
Check that the rear brake lock is re-
leased, and then make sure that the
rear wheel could rotate smoothly.
EAU52293
Checking the rear brake lock
The rear brake lock must be checked at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. 1. Adjust the rear brake lock cable.
2. Apply the rear brake lock, and then try to push the vehicle to confirm
that the rear brake lock functions
properly.
3. The rear brake lock caliper is pro- vided with a wear indicator, which
allows you to check the rear brake
lock pads. To check the rear brake
lock pads, check the position of the
indicator when the rear brake lock
lever is applied. If the indicator has
passed the wear indicator groove,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
rear brake lock.
4. Make sure that there are no tears or cracks on the rubber boot.
