Tachometer

The tachometer shows the engine
speed in crankshaft revolutions per
minute (r/min).
When the vehicle power is turned on,
the tachometer needle will sweep
across the r/min range and return to
zero in order to test the electrical circuit.
NOTICE

Do not operate the engine in the ta-
chometer high-r/min zone.
High-r/min zone: 8250 r/min and
above

For your safety – pre-operation checks
EAU63440
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe oper-
ating condition. Always follow the in spection and maintenance procedures and
schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11152
Failure to inspect or maintain the vehicle properly increases the possibility
of an accident or equipment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find
any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures provided
in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKSPAGE
Fuel Check fuel level in fuel tank.
Refuel if necessary.
Check fuel line for leakage.
Check fuel tank breather hose and overflow hose for
obstructions, cracks or damage, and check hose
connections. 5-21,
5-22
Engine oil Check oil level in engine.
If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
Check vehicle for oil leakage. 8-10
Coolant Check coolant level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified
level.
Check cooling system for leakage. 8-13
Front brake Check operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic
system.
Check brake pads for wear.
Replace if necessary.
Check fluid level in reservoir.
If necessary, add specified brak e fluid to specified level.
Check hydraulic system for leakage. 8-19,
8-21
Rear brake Check operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic
system.
Check brake pads for wear.
Replace if necessary.
Check fluid level in reservoir.
If necessary, add specified brak e fluid to specified level.
Check hydraulic system for leakage. 8-19,
8-21

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU36532
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5100
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA11283]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6100
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

TIP
Air filters
The engine air filter uses a disposable oil-coated paper element. This element
cannot be cleaned with compressed air, doing so will only damage it.
If you often ride in the rain or in dusty areas, have the engine air filter and
V-belt air filter elements serviced more frequently.
Hydraulic brake service
Regularly check the brake fluid levels in the reservoirs, and refill as necessary.
Replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers,
and change the brake fluid every 2 years.
Replace the brake hoses every 4 years, or sooner if cracked or damaged.
25 * Cooling system Check coolant level and vehicle
for coolant leakage. 
Change. Every 3 years
26 * V-belt Replace. When the V-belt replacement
