the key back to “ON”.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be enabled.
TIPIf the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be rid-
den; however, have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle as soon as possible.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle and turn off the “ ” warn-
ing light.

Quick shift systemThe quick shift system (QS) allows for
full-throttle, clutch lever-less, electroni-
cally-assisted upshifts. When the shift
switch detects motion in the shift pedal
(page 4-17), engine power and drive
torque are momentarily adjusted to al-
low the upshift to occur.TIP
The quick shift system operates
when traveling at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h) with an engine speed of 2000
r/min or higher, and only when ac-
celerating.

It does not operate when the clutchlever is pulled.

Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting screw in direction
(a). To decrease the rebound damping
force and thereby soften the rebound
damping, turn the adjusting screw in di-
rection (b). Compression damping force
Fast compression damping force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the fast com-
pression damping, turn the adjusting
bolt in direction (a). To decrease the
compression damping force and there-by soften the compression damping,
turn the adjusting bolt in direction (b).
Slow compression damping force
To increase the compression damping
force and thereby harden the slow
compression damping, turn the adjust-
ing screw in direction (a). To decrease

Owner’s tool kitsThe owner’s tool kit is located on the
bottom of the seat. (See page 4-22.)
Also, an additional tool kit was handed
out separately at the time of vehicle
purchase.
The service information included in this
manual and the tools provided in the
tool kits are intended to assist you in the
performance of preventive mainte-
nance and minor repairs. However,
other tools such as a torque wrench
may be necessary to perform certain
maintenance work correctly.TIPIf you do not have the tools or experi- ence required for a particular job, have
a Yamaha dealer perform it for you.

Checking the spark plugsThe spark plugs are important engine
components, which should be checked
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha
dealer. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,
they should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plugs can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the cen-
ter electrode of each spark plug should
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color
when the vehicle is ridden normally),
and all spark plugs installed in the en-
gine should have the same color. If any
spark plug shows a distinctly different
color, the engine could be operating im-
properly. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or other
deposits, it should be replaced. Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a
wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
NOTICE
ECA10841
Do not use any tools to remove or in-
stall the spark plug cap, otherwise
the ignition coil coupler may get
damaged. The spark plug cap may
be difficult to remove because the
rubber seal on the end of the cap fits
tightly. To remove the spark plug
cap, simply twist it back and forth
while pulling it out; to install it, twistit back and forth while pushing it in.
Specified spark plug:

TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properlyseated. 6. Install the new oil filter cartridge with an oil filter wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque
with a torque wrench. 7. Install the engine oil drain bolt and
its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
8. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-tem have cooled down.NOTICE


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.
9. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking

10. Install the coolant drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten the
bolt to the specified torque.
11. Pour the specified amount of the recommended coolant into the ra-
diator and coolant reservoir. 12. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
13. Loosen the air bleed bolt to allow
any trapped air to escape from the
water pump.
14. When coolant begins to flow out, tighten the air bleed bolt to the specified torque.
15. Pour the specified coolant into the radiator until it is full.
16. Install the radiator cap.
17. Start the engine, let it idle for sev-
eral minutes, and then turn it off.
18. Remove the radiator cap to check the coolant level in the radiator. If
necessary, add sufficient coolant
until it reaches the top of the radia-
tor, and then install the radiator
cap and radiator cap retaining bolt.
19. Start the engine, and then check the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.

4. If the drive chain slack is incorrect,
adjust it as follows. NOTICE: Im-
proper drive chain slack will
overload the engine as well as
other vital parts of the motorcy-
cle and can lead to chain slip-
page or breakage. To prevent
this from occurring, keep the
drive chain slack within the
specified limits.
[ECA10572]
EAU74260
To adjust the drive chain slack
Consult a Yamaha dealer before ad-
justing the drive chain slack. 1. Loosen the axle nut and the lock-
nut on each side of the swingarm.
2. To tighten the drive chain, turn the drive chain slack adjusting bolt on
each side of the swingarm in direc-
tion (a). To loosen the drive chain,
turn the adjusting bolt on each side
of the swingarm in direction (b),
and then push the rear wheel for-
ward.
TIPUsing the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both drive chain pullers are in the sameposition for proper wheel alignment. 3. Tighten the axle nut, then the lock-
nuts to their specified torques.
4. Make sure that the drive chain pull- ers are in the same position, the
drive chain slack is correct, and
the drive chain moves smoothly.
