dipstick with a clean rag. Insert the dipstick
in the filler hole without screwing it in.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level settles
before checking.
4. Remove the dipstick and inspect the oil
level.
5. The oil level should be between the maxi-
mum and minimum marks. If the level is
low, add oil to raise it to the proper level.
6. Install the oil filler cap.

8In order to prevent clutch slippage (since
the engine oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical additives. Do not
use oils with a diesel specification of “CD”
or oils of a higher quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING
II” or higher.
8Make sure that no foreign material enters
the crankcase.

Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the coolant
reservoir when the engine is cold as the
coolant level will vary with engine temper-
ature. The coolant level should be
between the maximum and minimum
marks.

3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chem-
ical reaction and lead to poor brake perfor-
mance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean up
spilled fluid immediately.
6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.

Lubricación de la cadena de transmisión
La cadena de transmisión debe limpiarse y lubri-
carse a los intervalos especificados para el

Cable inspection and lubrication
w
Inspect cables frequently and replace if dam-
aged. Corrosion can result when the outer
covering of control cables becomes dam-
aged. Cables can also become frayed or
kinked. Operation of controls could be
restricted, which could cause an accident or
injury.
Lubricate the inner cables and the cable ends. If
the cables do not operate smoothly, ask a
Yamaha dealer to replace them.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil

B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. After thor-
oughly cleaning the machine, prepare for stor-
age as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and carbure-
tor float bowls.
2. Remove the spark plugs, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the spark plug holes and rein-
stall the spark plugs. Ground the spark
plug wires and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Clean the drive chain thoroughly and lubri-
cate it. (See page 8-95 for details.)
Reinstall the chain or store it in a plastic
bag tied to frame for safekeeping.
4. Lubricate all control cables.
