tion chart.
To chan ge the transmission oil
1. Place the motorcycle on the cen- terstand.
2. Place an oil pan under the trans- mission to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the transmission oil filler cap, the transmission oil drain bolt
and its gasket to drain the oil from
the transmission.

also lu bricates the clutch), d o
not mix any chemical additives.
Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of a
hi gher quality than specifie d. In
a ddition, do not use oils la bele d

The engine idling speed must be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
TIP
A diagnostic tachometer is needed to
make this adjustment.
1. Attach the tachometer to the
spark plug lead.
2. Start the engine and warm it up for several minutes at 1000–2000
r/min while occasionally revving it
to 4000–5000 r/min.
TIP
The engine is warm when it quickly re-
sponds to the throttle.
3. Check the engine idling speedand, if necessary, adjust it to
specification by turning the throt-
tle stop screw. To increase the en-
gine idling speed, turn the screw in
direction (a). To decrease the en-
gine idling speed, turn the screw in
direction (b).
TIP
If the specified idling speed cannot be
obtained as described above, have a
Yamaha dealer make the adjustment.

5. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark-
ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap. WARNING! To
prevent damag e or injury

tro des while turnin g the en-

6. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers as
well as of the centerstand.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then lift
the motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
tively, turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.
8. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
TIP
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
