* Since these items require special tools, data and technical skills, have a Yamaha dealer perform the service.
EAU03057*
NOTE:_

From 16,000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 4,000 km.


Depending on riding conditions, the V-belt replacement interval may vary.


The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.


Hydraulic brake system
After disassembling the brake master cylinder, and caliper cylinder, always change the fluid. Regularly check the
brake fluid level and fill reservoir as required.
Replace the oil seals on the inner parts of the brake master cylinder and caliper cylinder every two years.
Replace the brake hose every four years or if cracked or damaged.

Checking the spark plug The spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plug can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Remove panel A. (See page 6-4
for panel removal and installation
procedures.)
2. Remove the spark plug cap.3. Remove the spark plug as shown,
with the spark plug wrench includ-
ed in the owner’s tool kit.To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insulator
around the center electrode of the
spark plug is a medium-to-light tan
(the ideal color when the motor-
cycle is ridden normally).
NOTE:_ If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, the engine could be defec-
tive. Do not attempt to diagnose such
problems yourself. Instead, have a
Yamaha dealer check the motorcycle. _2. Check the spark plug for electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.

Engine oil and oil strainer The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil strainer
cleaned at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the motorcycle on the cen-
terstand.NOTE:_ Make sure that the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the oil
level. 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.
NOTE:_ The 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.
