Checking the brake fluid levelBefore riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark.
Check the brake fluid level with the res-
ervoir in an upright position. Replenish
the brake fluid if necessary.NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always cleanup spilled fluid immediately.
Front brake Rear brake
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
leakage; therefore, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.

If the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause before further rid-
ing.WARNING
EWA15991
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability. Observe
these precautions:

Insufficient brake fluid may al-
low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, reducing braking
performance.

Clean the filler cap before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.

Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.

Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.

Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vaporlock.

fluid, or antifreeze, etc.
Before washing 1. Park the vehicle out of direct sun- light and allow it to cool. This will
help avoid water spots.
2. Make sure all caps, covers, electri- cal couplers and connectors are
tightly installed.
3. Cover the muffler end with a plas- tic bag and a strong rubber band.
4. Pre-soak stubborn stains like in- sects or bird droppings with a wet
towel for a few minutes.
5. Remove road grime and oil stains with a quality degreasing agent
and a plastic-bristle brush or
sponge. NOTICE: Do not use de-
greasing agent on areas requir-
ing lubrication such as seals,
gaskets, and wheel axles. Fol-
low product instructions.
[ECA26290]
Washing 1. Rinse off any degreaser and spray down the vehicle with a garden
hose. Use only enough pressure to do the job. Avoid spraying water
directly into the muffler, instrument
panel, air inlet, or other inner areas
such as underseat storage com-
partments.
2. Wash the vehicle with a quality au- tomotive-type detergent mixed
with cool water and a soft, clean
towel or sponge. Use an old tooth-
brush or plastic-bristle brush for
hard-to-reach places. NOTICE:
Use cold water if the vehicle has
been exposed to salt. Warm wa-
ter will increase salt’s corrosive
properties.
[ECA26301]
3. For windshield-equipped vehicles: Clean the windshield with a soft
towel or sponge dampened with
water and a pH neutral detergent.
If necessary, use a high-quality
windshield cleaner or polish for
motorcycles. NOTICE: Never use
any strong chemicals to clean
the windshield. Additionally,
some cleaning compounds for
plastic may scratch the wind-
shield, so be sure to test all
cleaning products before gener-
al application.
[ECA26310]
4. Rinse off thoroughly with clean wa- ter. Be sure to remove all deter-
gent residues, as they can be
harmful to plastic parts.
After washing 1. Dry the vehicle with a chamois or
absorbent towel, preferably micro-
fiber terrycloth.
2. For drive chain-equipped models: Dry and then lubricate the drive
chain to prevent rust.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum, and stainless
steel parts. Often the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless steel
exhaust systems can be removed
through polishing.
4. Apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal parts including chrome
or nickel-plated surfaces.
WARNING! Do not apply
silicone or oil spray to seats,
hand grips, rubber foot pegs or
tire treads. Otherwise these
parts will become slippery,
which could cause loss of con-
trol. Thoroughly clean the sur-
faces of these parts before

unpainted plastic parts.

Do not use abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.

Apply sprays and wax sparing-ly. Wipe off excess afterwards.
WARNING
EWA20660
Contaminants left on the brakes or
tires can cause loss of control.
Make sure there is no lubricant
or wax on the brakes or tires.

If necessary, wash the tires with
warm water and a mild deter-
gent.

If necessary, clean the brake
discs and pads with brake
cleaner or acetone.

Before riding at higher speeds,
test the vehicle’s braking perfor-mance and cornering behavior.
EAU83450
Cleaning the titanium muffler
This model is equipped with a titanium
muffler which requires special care.
Use only a soft cloth or sponge and
mild detergent with water to clean the
muffler. This should remove finger-
prints and other oil stains. If necessary,
an alkaline pH cleaning product and
soft brush may be used. However, do
not use abrasive compounds or special
treatments to clean the muffler, as
these will wear away the protective fin- ish.
TIPThe thermally induced discoloring of
the exhaust pipe leading into the titani-
um muffler is normal and cannot be re-moved.

StorageAlways store the vehicle in a cool, dry
place. If necessary, protect it against
dust with a porous cover. Be sure the
engine and the exhaust system are
cool before covering the vehicle. If the
vehicle often sits for weeks at a time
between uses, the use of a quality fuel
stabilizer is recommended after each
fill-up.NOTICE
ECA21170

Storing the vehicle in a poorly
ventilated room or covering it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water and humidity to
seep in and cause rust.

To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-cals are stored.
Long term storage
Before storing the vehicle long term (60
days or more): 1. Make all necessary repairs and perform any outstanding mainte-
nance.
2. Follow all instructions in the Care section of this chapter.
3. Fill up the fuel tank, adding fuel stabilizer according to product in-
structions. Run the engine for 5
minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system.
4. For vehicles equipped with a fuel cock: Turn the fuel cock lever to
the off position.
5. For vehicles with a carburetor: To prevent fuel deposits from building
up, drain the fuel in the carburetor
float chamber into a clean contain-
er. Retighten the drain bolt and
pour the fuel back into the fuel
tank.
6. Use a quality engine fogging oil ac- cording to product instructions to
protect internal engine compo-
nents from corrosion. If engine fog-
ging oil is not available, perform
the following steps for each cylin-
der:
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.)
WARNING! To prevent dam-
age or injury from sparking,
make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while
turning the engine
over.
[EWA10952]
e. Remove the spark plug capfrom the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
7. Lubricate all control cables, pivots, levers and pedals, as well as the
sidestand and centerstand (if
equipped).
8. Check and correct the tire air pres- sure, and then lift the vehicle so
that all wheels are off the ground.
Otherwise, turn the wheels a little
once a month in order to prevent
