Always stop the en gine usin g
the main switch. When the en-
g ine stop switch has been used
in an emer gency, be sure to ap-
ply the front or rear brake while
the main switch is still on, as the

dusty areas.
 Hydraulic brake and YCC-S clutch service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake and YCC-S clutch flu- id levels.

TIP
Make sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.
7. Install the new oil filter cartridge,
and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench.
8. Install the engine oil drain bolt and its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
9. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil.
TIP
Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.
NOTICE

In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the en gine oil also
lu bricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a hi gh-
er quality than specified . In
a dd ition, do not use oils la bele d
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
 Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
10. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace it if necessary.
11. Install and tighten the engine oil filler cap.

Cast wheels
To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
 The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends, warp-
age or other damage before each
ride. If any damage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the
wheel. Do not attempt even the
smallest repair to the wheel. A de-
formed or cracked wheel must be
replaced.
 The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
EAU40622
YCC-S clutch
This model is equipped with a hydrau-
lic clutch, therefore, it is necessary to
check the YCC-S clutch fluid level and
check the hydraulic system for leak-
age. (See page 6-25.)
TIP
If shifting becomes rough or clutch
slippage occurs, or if you notice poor
acceleration or engine stalls, have a
Yamaha dealer check the clutch for wear.

Checkin g the brake an d
YCC-S clutch fluid levels
Before riding, check that the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluids are above the mi-
nimum level marks. Check the brake
and YCC-S clutch fluid levels with the
tops of the reservoirs level. Replenish
the brake and YCC-S clutch fluids if
necessary.

Rear brake YCC-S clutch
TIP

The rear brake fluid reservoir is lo-
cated behind panel C. (See page
6-7.)
 The YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir is
located behind panel B. (See page
6-7.)
WARNING
EWA16021
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of brakin g a bility or YCC-S
clutch operation. O bserve these
precautions:  Insufficient brake or YCC-S
clutch flui d may allow air to en-
ter the b rake or YCC-S clutch
system, re ducing brakin g or
YCC-S clutch performance.
 Clean the filler caps before re-
moving . Use only DOT 4 b rake
flui d from a seale d container.
 Use only the specifie d b rake flu-
i d ; otherwise, the ru bber seals
may deteriorate, causin g leak-
a g e.

Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A ddin g a b rake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water or dust
d oes not enter the brake or
YCC-S clutch flui d reservoir
when refillin g. Water will si gnifi-
cantly lower the boilin g point of
the flui d an d may result in vapor
lock, an d d irt may clo g the ABS
hy draulic unit valves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake flui d may damag e painte d
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.
The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid res-
ervoir diaphragms will lose their shape
from the negative pressure if the fluid
level goes down too far. Be sure to re-
turn the diaphragms to their original
shape before reinstalling them.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; 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; there-
fore, 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
the cause before further riding.
EAU40604
Chan gin g the brake an d
YCC-S clutch flui ds
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and YCC-S clutch fluids at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, have the oil seals of the brake and
YCC-S clutch master cylinders and
calipers as well as the brake and
YCC-S clutch hoses replaced at the in-
tervals listed below or whenever they
are damaged or leaking.
 Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
 Brake and YCC-S clutch hoses:
Replace every four years.
