for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.

Why Yamalu be
YAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA
Part born of the engineers’ passion
and belief that engine oil is an impor-
tant liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of me-
chanical engineering, chemistry, elec-
tronics and track testing, and have
them develop the engine together with
the oil it will use. Yamalube oils take full
advantage of the base oil’s qualities
and blend in the ideal balance of addi-
tives to make sure the final oil clears
our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and synthetic oils have their own distinct
characters and value. Yamaha’s expe-
rience gained over many years of re-
search and development into oil since
the 1960’s helps make Yamalube the
best choice for your Yamaha engine.

5. Refill with the recommended final gear oil to the brim of the filler
hole.
6. Check the oil filler bolt gasket for damage, and replace it if neces-

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.
TIP
If genuine Yamaha coolant is not avail-
able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
minum engines and mix with distilled
water at a 1:1 ratio.
EAU54164To check the coolant level1. Wait for the engine to cool. The coolant level will vary with engine
temperature.
2. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
3. Remove the left cowling vent pan- el. (See page 3-39.)
4. Look at the coolant reservoir.

Measure the throttle grip free play as
shown.
Periodically check the throttle grip free
play and, if necessary, have a Yamaha
dealer adjust it.

Valve clearance
The valves are an important engine
component, and since valve clearance
changes with use, they must be
checked and adjusted at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
chart. Unadjusted valves can result in
improper air-fuel mixture, engine
noise, and eventually engine damage.
To prevent this from occurring, have
your Yamaha dealer check and adjust
the valve clearance at regular intervals.
TIP
This service must be performed when
the engine is cold.1. Throttle grip free play

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.

There should be no free play at the
brake lever end. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
