9Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important
that, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

6 break down and erode. If electrode
erosion becomes excessive, or if
carbon and other deposits are
excessive, you should replace the
spark plug with the specified plug.
Before installing the spark plug,
measure the electrode gap with a
wire thickness gauge; adjust the
gap to specification as necessary.
When installing the plug, always
clean the gasket surface and use a
new gasket. Wipe off any grime
from the threads and tighten the
spark plug to the specified torque.Specified spark plug:
DR8EA (NGK) or
X24ESR-U (DENSO)Spark plug gap:
0.6 ~ 0.7 mm
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
17.5 Nm (1.75 m0kg)
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark
plug, a good estimate of the cor-
rect torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past
finger tight. Have the spark plug
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.EAU00517Engine oil
1. Oil level measurement
a. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it in an upright
position. Warm up the engine
for several minutes.
NOTE:
Be sure the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the oil level. A slight tilt toward the
side can result in false readings.

b. With the engine stopped,
check the oil level through the
level window located at the
lower part of the right side
crankcase cover.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil
level settles before checking.
c. The oil level should be
between the maximum and
minimum marks. If the level is
low, add sufficient oil to raise
it to the proper level.

w
Securely support the motorcycle
so there is no danger of it falling
over.
1. Visual check
Check for scratches or damage
on the inner tube and exces-
sive oil leakage from the front
fork.2. Operation check
Place the motorcycle on a level
place.
a. Hold the motorcycle in an
upright position and apply the
front brake.
b. Push down hard on the han-
dlebars several times and
check if the fork rebounds
smoothly.
EC000098
cC
If any damage or unsmooth move-
ment is found with the front fork,
consult a Yamaha dealer.
EAU00794Steering inspection
Periodically inspect the condition
of the steering. Worn out or loose
steering bearings may be danger-
ous. Place a stand under the
engine to raise the front wheel off
the ground. Hold the lower end of
the front forks and try to move
them forward and backward. If any
free play can be felt, ask a Yamaha
dealer to inspect and adjust the
steering. Inspection is easier if the
front wheel is removed.
