Removing and installing cowl-
ingsThe cowlings shown need to be re-
moved to perform some of the mainte-
nance jobs described in this chapter.
Refer to this section each time a cowl-
ing needs to be removed and installed.
EAU18792
Cowling A
To remove the cowlingRemove the screws, and then take the
cowling off.To install the cowling
Place the cowling in the original posi-
tion, and then install the screws.
EAU19653
Checking the spark plugsThe spark plugs are important engine
components, which should be
checked periodically, preferably by a
Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depos-
its will cause any spark plug to slowly
erode, they should be removed and
checked in accordance with the peri-
odic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plugs can reveal the condition of
the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of each spark plug
should be a medium-to-light tan (the
ideal color when the vehicle is ridden
normally), and all spark plugs installed
in the engine should have the same
color. If any spark plug shows a dis-
tinctly different color, the engine could
be operating improperly. Do not at-
tempt to diagnose such problems
yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, it should be replaced.

6 Before installing a spark plug, the
spark plug gap should be measured
with a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the spark
plug threads.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4…
1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.NOTICE
ECA10841
Do not use any tools to remove or in-
stall the spark plug cap, otherwise
the ignition coil coupler may get
damaged. The spark plug cap may
be difficult to remove because the
rubber seal on the end of the cap fits
tightly. To remove the spark plug
cap, simply twist it back and forth
while pulling it out; to install it, twist
it back and forth while pushing it in.

CanisterThis model is equipped with a canister
to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere. Before operating
this vehicle, make sure to check the
following:
Check each hose connection.
Check each hose and canister for
cracks or damage. Replace if
damaged.
Make sure that the canister
breather is not blocked, and if
necessary, clean it.

Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridgeThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes for the oil level
to settle for an accurate reading,
and then check the oil level
through the engine oil level check
window.4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the maximum level mark.
TIPCheck the O-ring for damage, and re-
place it if necessary.
To change the engine oil (and re-
place the filter)
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
2. Remove cowling A. (See page
6-9.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
4. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.

TIPSkip steps 5–7 if the oil filter cartridge
is not being replaced.6. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.
TIPAn oil filter wrench is available at a
Yamaha dealer.7. Apply a thin coat of clean engine
oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter
cartridge.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.8. Install the new oil filter cartridge
with an oil filter wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.9. Install the engine oil drain bolt and
its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
10. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil.

TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.NOTICE
ECA11621
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
11. Check the O-ring for damage, and
replace it if necessary.
12. Install and tighten the engine oil
filler cap.
13. Install the cowling A.
14. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.TIPAfter the engine is started, the engine
oil pressure warning light should go off.
NOTICE
ECA20860
If the oil pressure warning light flick-
ers or remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.15. Turn the engine off, wait a few
minutes for the oil level to settle for
an accurate reading, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
