EAU16841
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU34321
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4000 r/min.
NOTICE:
After 1000 km
(600 mi) of operation, be sure to re-
place the engine oil, final transmis-
sion oil and the oil filter
element.

[ECA12931]

1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above6000 r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE

ECA10310

Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.

If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
EAU17213
Parking
When parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
WARNING

EWA10311

Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.

Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.

Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.

TIP


Engine air filters and V-belt air filter
•This model’s engine air filters are equipped with disposable oil-coated paper elements, which must not be cleaned
with compressed air to avoid damaging them.
•The engine air filter elements need to be replaced and the V-belt air filter element needs to be serviced more frequent-
ly when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

Hydraulic brake service
•Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
•Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid.
•Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

2. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
TIP

If 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 speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
TIP

Make sure the spark plug wire is fas-
tened in the clamp as shown.4. Install the spark plug cover by in-
stalling the screws.
5. Place the storage compartment
mat in the original position.
6. Close the rider seat.
EAU34187
Engine oil and oil filter
element
The 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 and when the oil change in-
dicator comes on.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. 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 until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
TIP

The engine oil should be between the
tip of the dipstick and the maximum lev-
el mark.

4. If the engine oil is not between the
tip of the dipstick and the maxi-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment)
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIP

Skip steps 5–7 if the oil filter element is
not being replaced.
5. Remove the oil filter element cover
by removing the bolts.
NOTICE:
When removing the oil filter ele-ment cover, the compression
spring will fall out. Take care not
to lose the compression
spring.
