Tips for reducing fuel
consumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:

Thoroughly warm up the engine.


Turn the starter (choke) off as
soon as possible.


Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.


Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.


Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU01128
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1,600 km. For this rea-
son, you should read the following ma-
terial carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1,600 km. The various parts in the en-
gine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances. During
this period, prolonged full-throttle oper-
ation or any condition that might result
in engine overheating must be avoided.
EAU03749*
0–1,000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above
5,000 r/min.
1,000–1,600 km
Avoid prolonged operation above
6,000 r/min.
EC000052*
CAUTION:_ After 1,000 km of operation, the en-
gine oil must be changed and the oil
filter cartridge replaced. _1,600 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
EC000053
CAUTION:_

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.

Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
NOTE:_

The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed instead.


From 50,000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10,000 km.


Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and techni-
cal skills.

617. Remove the radiator cap to check
the coolant level in the radiator. If
necessary, add sufficient coolant
until it reaches the top of the radia-
tor, and then install the radiator
cap.
18. Start the engine, and then check
the vehicle for coolant leakage. If
coolant is leaking, have a Yamaha
dealer check the cooling system.
19. Install the panel and the cowlings.
EAU04256*
Checking the air filter element The air filter element should be
checked at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. Check the air filter element more
frequently if you are riding in unusually
wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the rider seat. (See
page 3-13 for rider seat removal
and installation procedures.)
2. Remove the fuel tank bolts and
slightly lift the fuel tank.3. Turn the fuel cock lever to “OFF”,
and then disconnect the hoses
and the fuel sender coupler.
NOTE:_ Before removing the hoses, mark them
to ensure that they will be reinstalled in
their correct positions. _

position the tank away from the air
filter case, and then support the
tank as shown.5. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.6. Pull the air filter element out.
7. Check the condition of the air filter
element and replace it if it is dam-
aged or excessively dusty.

case.
EC000082*
CAUTION:_

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
pistons and/or cylinders may
become excessively worn.
_9. Install the air filter case cover by
installing the screws.
10. Connect the fuel sender coupler
and the hoses, turn the fuel cock
lever to “ON”, place the fuel tank in
the original position, and then in-
stall the bolts.

WARNING
_ Make sure that the fuel hoses and
vacuum hose are properly connect-
ed and routed, and not pinched. Re-
place any damaged hoses. _11. Install the rider seat.

“ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, result-
ing in reduced component life and poor engine performance.
