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.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in afalse reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for 10–
15 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 tank is located in-
side of the frame.


The engine oil should be between
the minimum and maximum levelmarks.
CAUTION:
ECA10010
Do not operate the vehicle until you
know that the engine oil level is suf-ficient.
WARNING
EWA10360
Never remove the engine oil tank
cap after high-speed operation, oth-
erwise hot engine oil could spout
out and cause damage or injury. Al-
ways let the engine oil cool down
sufficiently before removing the oiltank cap.
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.
5. Install the oil filler cap.
To change the engine 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. Install the engine oil drain attach-
ment, provided with the owner’s
tool kit, under the drain bolt of the
crankcase.

63. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and the drain bolt to drain the oil
from the crankcase.
5. Remove the drain bolt to drain the
oil from the oil tank.6. Remove the oil filter element drain
bolt to drain the oil from the oil filter
element.
NOTE:
Skip steps 7–9 if the oil filter element isnot being replaced.
7. Remove the oil filter element cover
by removing the bolts.8. Remove and replace the oil filter
element and O-rings.

installing the bolts and the oil filter
element drain bolt, then tightening
them to the specified torques.
NOTE:Make sure that the O-rings are properlyseated.
10. Install the oil drain bolts, and then
tighten them to the specified
torques.
11. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and then
install and tighten the oil filler cap.
CAUTION:
ECAM1060
The engine oil tank must be filled in
2 steps. First, fill the engine oil tank
with 1.90 L (2.0 US qt) (1.67 Imp.qt) of
the recommended engine oil. Then,
start the engine, race it 5 or 6 times,
turn it off, and then add the remain-der of the engine oil.CAUTION:
ECA11620


In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. Inaddition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.


Make sure that no foreign mate-rial enters the crankcase.
12. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
13. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.

Replacing the air filter element
and cleaning the check hose The air filter element should be re-
placed at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Replace the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in un-
usually wet or dusty areas. In addition,
the air filter check hose must be fre-
quently checked and cleaned if neces-
sary.
To replace the air filter element
1. Remove the seat. (See page
3-12.)
2. Remove panel B. (See page 6-5.)
3. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.4. Pull the air filter element out.
5. Insert a new air filter element into
the air filter case as shown.
CAUTION:
ECA10480


Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the
air filter case.


The engine should never be op-
erated without the air filter ele-
ment installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) maybecome excessively worn.
6. Install the air filter case cover by in-
stalling the screws.
7. Install the panel.
8. Install the seat.
To clean the air filter check hose
1. Check the hose on the side of the
air filter case for accumulated dirt
or water.

Adjusting the engine idling
speed The engine idling speed must be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
The engine should be warm before
making this adjustment.NOTE:

The engine is warm when it quickly
responds to the throttle.


A diagnostic tachometer is neededto make this adjustment.
1. Attach the tachometer to the spark
plug lead.
2. Check the engine idling speed
and, if necessary, adjust it to spec-
ification by turning the idle adjust-
ing screw. To increase the engine
idling speed, turn the screw in di-
rection (a). To decrease the en-
gine idling speed, turn the screw in
direction (b).
NOTE:
If the specified idling speed cannot be
obtained as described above, have aYamaha dealer make the adjustment.
