Owner’s tool kitThe owner’s tool kit should be stored
separately from the vehicle. However,
there are two hexagon wrenches
stored under the passenger seat. (See
page 4-36.)
The service information included in this
manual and the tools provided are in-
tended to assist you in the performance
of preventive maintenance and minor
repairs. However, additional tools, such
as a torque wrench, are necessary to
perform certain maintenance work cor-
rectly.TIPIf you do not have the tools or experi- ence required for a particular job, have
a Yamaha dealer perform it for you.

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

TIP
Air filter
This model’s air filter is equipped wi th a disposable oil-coated paper elemen t, which must not be cleaned with com-
pressed air to avoid damaging it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more fr equently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
After disassembling the front brake master cylinder and cali pers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake
fluid levels and fill the reservoirs as required.
Every two years replace the rear brake master cylinder, the internal components of the front brake master cylinder, the brake calipers, and change the brake fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years or sooner if cracked, damaged, or if any section of the stainless steel brakehose has turned black.
