use. Yamalube oils take full advantage of the
base oil’s qualities and blend in the ideal ba-
lance of additives to make sure the final oil
clears our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and syn-
thetic oils have their own distinct characters
and value. Yamaha’s experience gained over
many years of research and development into
oil since the 1960’s helps make Yamalube the
best choice for your Yamaha engine.EBU35108Transmission oilCheck the oil level and change the transmis-
sion oil at the intervals specified in the period-
ic maintenance chart.
NOTICEECB02910When checking or changing the transmis-
sion oil, make sure that no foreign material

TIPOil will flow out immediately when the drain
bolt is loosened. Take care not to lose the
bolt. 4. After draining the oil, install the transmis-sion oil drain bolt with a new gasket.
5. Tighten the drain bolt to the specified torque. 6. Check the O-ring for damage, and re-
place it if necessary.
7. Refill the transmission with the specified amount of the recommended oil.
8. Install the transmission oil filler cap.
9. Start the engine and let it idle while checking for oil leakage.
10. Stop the engine and check the oil level one last time.

NOTICEECB03590When checking or changing the final gear
oil, make sure that no foreign material en-
ters the final gear case. If necessary, clean
the final gear oil filler bolt and surrounding
area. TIPIf the recommended gear oil is not available,
SAE 80W-90 API GL-4 or GL-5 hypoid gear
oil may be used instead. Checking the final gear oil level1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. 2. Remove the final gear oil filler bolt and its
gasket, and then check the oil level in the
final gear case. The oil level should be at
the brim of the filler hole.
3. If the oil is below the brim of the filler hole, add sufficient oil of the recommended
type to raise it to the correct level.
4. Check the gasket for damage, and re- place it if necessary.

gear oil at the intervals specified in the period-
ic maintenance chart.NOTICEECB03600When checking or changing the differen-
tial gear oil, make sure that no foreign ma-
terial enters the differential gear case. If
necessary, clean the differential gear oil

suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check and
repair the vehicle before any further opera-
tion.EBU36550Brake and YCC-S clutch fluid replace-
mentComplete fluid replacement should be done
only by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the following
components during periodic maintenance or
when they are damaged or leaking.
Replace the oil seals every two years.
 Replace the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses
every four years.EBU36540YCC-S clutchThis model is equipped with a hydraulic
clutch, therefore, it is necessary to check the
YCC-S clutch fluid level and check the hy-
draulic system for leak age before each drive.
If the YCC-S clutch plates wear out, shifting
becomes rough or clutch slippage will occur, causing poor acceleration. If any of the above
occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
YCC-S clutch.
EBU32531Checking the brake pedalHave a Yamaha dealer check the brakes at
the intervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance chart. There should be no free play in
the brake pedal. The brakes should operate
smoothly and there should be no brake drag.
If the brakes feel soft or spongy, this could in-
dicate air in the brake system. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the brake system if necessary.
