7. Wash the foam material in warm soapywater to remove remaining solvent, then
rinse thoroughly with plain warm water.
8. Squeeze out the excess water. NOTICE:
Do not twist the foam material when
squeezing it.
[ECB02970]
9. Allow the foam air filter to dry thoroughly. Inspect for wear and tear and replace if
damaged or heavily worn. 10. Thoroughly apply Yamalube foam air fil-
ter oil (or other quality liquid foam air fil-
ter—do not use a spray-type product) to
the foam material. The foam air filter ele-
ment should be wet but not dripping.
11. Pull the foam air filter element over its frame.
12. Install the air filter.

WARNING
EWB03910Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability or clutch operation. Ob-
serve these precautions:
Insufficient brake or clutch fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake or clutch sys-
tem, reducing braking or clutch
performance.
Clean the filler caps before removing.
Use only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed
container.
Use only the specified brake fluid; other-
wise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage.
Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Adding a brake fluid other than DOT 4
may result in a harmful chemical reac-
tion.
Be careful that water or dust does not
enter the brake or clutch fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
NOTICEECB01161Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled
fluid immediately. As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the
brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads or brake system leakage; therefore, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low clutch fluid
level may indicate clutch system leakage;
therefore, be sure to check the clutch system
for leakage. If the brake or clutch fluid level
goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check and repair the vehicle before any fur-
ther operation.

If a fuse is blown, replace it as follows.1. Turn the key to “ ” (off) and turn off the
electrical circuit in question.
NOTICEECB00641To prevent accidental short-circuiting,
turn off the main switch when checking or
replacing a fuse. 2. Remove panel A. (See page 8-10.)
3. Remove the blown fuse, and then install anew fuse of the specified amperage.
WARNING! Always use a fuse of the specified amperage. Never use any
material in place of the proper fuse.
Using an improper fuse can cause
damage to the electrical system and
may lead to a fire.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU35920CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the vehicle: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plugs and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to
let friction dry the brakes. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability, in-
creasing the chance of an accident.
[EWB03471]
NOTICE: Excessive water pres-
sure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electri-
cal devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high-
pressure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
[ECB00712]
4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy
for hard-to-get-at places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent
cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the covers pliable and
glossy.
