STARTING AND BREAK-IN
EAS2GB7049FUEL
Always use the recommended fuel as stated
below. Also, be sure to use new gasoline the
day of a race.
ECA
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of
leaded gasoline will cause severe damage
to the engine internal parts such as valves,
piston rings, and exhaust system, etc.
TIP
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use
premium unleaded gasoline with a pump oc-
tane number [(R+M)/2] of 91 or higher, or a re-
search octane number of 95 or higher. If
knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of
a different brand.
EWA
WARNING
• For refueling, be sure to stop the engine
and use enough care not to spill any fuel.
Also be sure to avoid refueling close to a
fire.
• Refuel after the engine, exhaust pipe, etc.
have cooled off.
Gasohol (For USA and Canada)
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if the
ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol
containing methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it can cause damage to the
fuel system or vehicle performance problems.
EAS2GB7050HANDLING NOTEEWA
WARNING
Never start or run the engine in a closed ar-
ea. The exhaust fumes are poisonous; they
can cause loss of consciousness and death
in a very short time. Always operate the ma-
chine in a well-ventilated area.
ECA
NOTICE
• Unlike a two-stroke engine, this engine
cannot be kick started when the throttle is
open because the kickstarter may kick
back. Also, if the throttle is open the air/
fuel mixture may be too lean for the engine
to start.
• Before starting the machine, perform the
checks in the pre-operation check list.
EAS2GB7051AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
According to “CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
ELEMENT” section in the CHAPTER 3, apply
the foam-air-filter oil or its equivalent to the ele-
ment. (Excess oil in the element may adversely
affect engine starting.)
EAS2GB7052STARTING A COLD ENGINEECA
NOTICE
For maximum engine life, never accelerate
hard when the engine is cold!
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off system to
enable starting, one of the following conditions
must be met:
• The transmission is in the neutral position.
• The transmission is in gear with the clutch le-
ver pulled.
1. Pull the starter knob/idle screw “1” to its full
length.
TIP
When the ambient temperature is 15°C (59°F)
or below, use the starter knob/idle screw.
2. Completely close the throttle.
3. Start the engine by pushing the start switch.
If the engine fails to start when using the
start switch, release it, wait a few seconds,
and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be as short as
possible to preserve the battery. Do not
crank the engine more than 10 seconds on
any one attempt. If the engine does not start
with the starter motor, try using the kickstart-
er. Recommended fuel

PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Before riding for break-in operation, practice or a race, make sure the machine is in good operating
condition.
Before using this machine, check the following points.
EAS2GB7080GENERAL INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
TIP
Perform usual maintenance enough so that, in the race course, a confirmation of that and simple set-
ting adjustments may only be left, in order to get enough time to use effectively.ITEM inspect Page
CoolantCheck that coolant is filled up to the radiator cap.
Check the cooling system for leakage.3-10 – 12
FuelCheck that a fresh gasoline is filled in the fuel tank.
Check the fuel line for leakage.1-30
Engine oilCheck that the oil level is correct. Check the crank-
case and oil line for leakage.3-16 – 18
Gear shifter and clutchCheck that gears can be shifted correctly in order and
that the clutch operates smoothly.3-12 – 13
Throttle grip/HousingCheck that the throttle grip operation and free play
are correctly adjusted. Lubricate the throttle grip and
housing, if necessary.3-13 – 14
BrakesCheck the play of front brake and effect of front and
rear brake.3-24 – 30
Drive chainCheck drive chain slack and alignment. Check that
the drive chain is lubricated properly.3-30
5-69 – 70
WheelsCheck for excessive wear and tire pressure. Check
for loose spokes and have no excessive play.3-35 – 36
SteeringCheck that the handlebar can be turned smoothly and
have no excessive play.3-36 – 37
Front forks and rear
shock absorberCheck that they operate smoothly and there is no oil
leakage.3-31 – 35
Cables (wires)Check that the clutch and throttle cables move
smoothly. Check that they are not caught when the
handlebars are turned or when the front forks travel
up and down.—
Exhaust pipeCheck that the exhaust pipe is tightly mounted and
has no cracks.3-15 – 16
Rear wheel sprocketCheck that the rear wheel sprocket tightening bolt is
not loose.5-10 – 11
LubricationCheck for smooth operation. Lubricate if necessary. 3-13
3-37 – 38
Bolts and nutsCheck the chassis and engine for loose bolts and
nuts.1-34 – 35
Lead connectorsCheck that the AC magneto, ECU and ignition coil are
connected tightly.1-9 – 12
SettingsIs the machine set suitably for the condition of the rac-
ing course and weather or by taking into account the
results of test runs before racing? Are inspection and
maintenance completely done?4-1 – 8
ENGINE
3-18
8. Install:
• Oil filler cap
9. Check:
• Oil level
Refer to “CHECKING THE ENGINE OIL
LEVEL” on page 3-16.
10.Check:
• Engine oil pressure
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Slightly loosen the oil pressure check bolt
“1”.
EWA
WARNING
When the engine is started with the check
bolt removed, oil will spout; therefore, al-
ways loosen it before the checkup.
Start the engine and keep it idling until oil
starts to seep from the oil pressure check
bolt.
EWA
WARNING
Always keep the engine idling speed during
the checkup without increasing the engine
speed.
ECA
NOTICE
If no engine oil seeps out after one minute,
immediately turn the engine off so it will not
seize.
b. If no engine oil seeps out, check the engine
oil for leaks, and the engine oil passage and
the oil pump for damage.
c. Check the oil pressure again.
d. Tighten the oil pressure check bolt.

EAS2GB7098ADJUSTING THE ENGINE IDLING SPEED
TIP
• Because the air pressure is lower at high alti-
tudes, the air-fuel mixture will become richer.
If the idling speed is low, turn the starter knob/
idle screw a few clicks counterclockwise to in-
crease the speed before the adjustment.
• Before adjusting the engine idling speed,
make sure that the air filter element is not
clogged, the engine compression is proper,
and the throttle grip free play is proper.
• Adjust the engine idling speed with the starter
knob/idle screw pushed in completely.
1. Start the engine, and warm this up until the
oil has reached the specified temperature.
2. Attach the pocket tester with temperature
probe “1” to the oil drain bolt.
3. Install:
• Digital tachometer
TIP
Get the high tension cord “1” of the ignition coil
pinched in the detector “a” of the digital tachom-
eter.
