TIPService the air filters more frequently when
operating in wet or dusy environments. Whenever air filter maintenance is performed:
check the air inlet for obstructions and the
air filter case for dirt and foreign matter.
 check the air filter case check hoses for dirt
or water and clean as necessary.
 check the air filter cas e joints and the rub-
ber joints to and from the throttle body for
proper fit and sealing.
 tighten all fittings securely to avoid the pos-
sibility of unfiltered air entering the engine.NOTICEECB02270Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. Doing so would allow
unfiltered air to enter, causing rapid en-
gine wear and possible engine damage. Additionally, the fuel injection system
would be affected, resulting in poor engine
performance and possible overheating.
Clean the primary air filter as follows.
1. Remove panel C (page 8-10).
2. Remove the air filter case cover by turn- ing the air filter case cover lock counter-
clockwise.TIPMake sure that the match mark on the cover
lock is aligned with the open match mark on
the air filter case cover.

TIPThe brake and YCC-S clutch fluid reser-
voirs are located under the hood (page
8-10).
 For an accurate reading, make sure the ve-
hicle is parked on a level surface.
WARNING
EWB04160Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability or YCC-S clutch operation.
Observe these precautions:
 Insufficient brake or YCC-S clutch fluid
may allow air to enter the brake or
YCC-S clutch system, reducing braking
or YCC-S 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 YCC-S clutch fluid
reservoir when refilling. Water will signif-
icantly 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 l eakage; therefore, be
sure to check the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low YCC-S
clutch fluid level may indicate YCC-S clutch
system leakage; therefore, be sure to check
the YCC-S clutch system for leakage. If the
brake or YCC-S clutch fluid level goes down suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check and
repair the vehicle before any further opera-
tion.
EBU36550Brake and YCC-S clutch fluid replace-
mentComplete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.

Replace the oil seals every two years.
 Replace the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses
every four years.EBU36540YCC-S clutchThis model is equipped with a hydraulic
clutch, therefore, it is necessary to check the
YCC-S clutch fluid level and check the hy-
draulic system for leakage before each drive.
If the YCC-S clutch plates wear out, shifting
becomes rough or clutch slippage will occur,

Lubricate the cable ends. If the cables do not
operate smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place them.EBU36760Pedal lubricationThe pivoting parts of the brake and accelera-
tor pedals should be lubricated periodically to
prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
EBU32582Checking the stabilizer bushesThe stabilizer bushes must be checked for
cracks or damage at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the stabilizer
bushes if necessary.
