En gine oil an d oil filter ele-
mentThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa- ce 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 check window locat-
ed at the bottom-right side of the
crankcase.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To chan ge the en gine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment) 1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil. 3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and its O-ring, and then remove
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
4. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace it if necessary.1. Engine oil level check window

TIPSkip steps 5–7 if the oil filter element is
not being replaced.5. Remove the oil filter element cover
by removing the bolts. 6. Remove and replace the oil filter
element and O-ring.
7. Install the oil filter element cover by installing the bolts, then tight-
ening them to the specified
torque.
TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.8. Install the engine oil drain bolt andits new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque. 9. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil.
TIPThe use of 0W-30 is recommend-
ed in winter season.
 Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on
any parts after the engine and ex-
haust system have cooled down.NOTICE

for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
12. Turn the engine off, wait a few mi- nutes for the oil level to settle for
an accurate reading, and then
check the oil level and correct it if

Why Yamalu beYAMALUBE 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.

Final transmission oilThe final transmission case must be
checked for oil leakage before each
ride. If any leakage is found, have a
Yamaha dealer check and repair the vehicle. In addition, the final transmis-
sion oil must be changed as follows at
the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. 1. Start the engine, warm up the final transmission oil by riding the vehi-
cle for several minutes, and then
stop the engine.
2. Place the vehicle on the center- stand.
3. Place an oil pan under the final transmission case to collect the
used oil.
4. Remove the final transmission oil filler cap and its O-ring from the fi-
nal transmission case.

5. Remove the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its gasket to drain
the oil from the final transmission
case. 6. Install the final transmission oil
drain bolt and its new gasket, and
then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
7. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended final transmis-
sion oil. WARNING! Make sure
that no forei gn material enters
the final transmission case.
Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.

8. Install the final transmission oil fill- er cap and its new O-ring, and
then tighten the oil filler cap.
9. Check the final transmission case for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
check for the cause.

CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.TIPIf 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.
EAU88960
To check the coolant level
Since the coolant level varies with en-
gine temperature, check when the en-
gine is cold.1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Hold the vehicle upright, or place it on the centerstand.

Vehicle care and stora ge
9-4

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 build-
ing up, drain the fuel in the carbu-
retor float chamber into a clean
container. Retighten the drain bolt
and pour the fuel back into the fuel
tank.
6. Use a quality engine fogging oil according to product instructions
to protect internal engine compo-
nents from corrosion. If engine
fogging oil is not available, per-
form the following steps for each
cylinder: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-
a g e or injury from sparkin g,
make sure to groun d the
spark plu g electro des while
turnin g the en gine over.
[EWA10952]
e. Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
7. Lubricate all control cables, piv- ots, levers and pedals, as well as
the sidestand and centerstand (if
equipped).
8. Check and correct the tire air pressure, and then lift the vehicle
so that all wheels are off the
ground. Otherwise, turn the wheels a little once a month in or-
der to prevent the tires from be-
coming degraded in one spot.
9. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
10. Remove the battery and fully char- ge it, or attach a maintenance
charger to keep the battery opti-
mally charged. NOTICE: Confirm
that the battery an d its char ger
are compati ble. Do not char ge a
VRLA battery with a convention-
al char ger.
[ECA26330]
TIP If the battery will be removed,
charge it once a month and store
it in a temperate location between
0-30 °C (32-90 °F).
 See page 8-32 for more informa-
tion on charging and storing the
battery.
