based grease to the splines of the fi-
nal gear case and wheel hub.
2. Install the wheel by inserting the
wheel axle, then installing the axle
nut.
3. Turn the caliper down so that it fits
over the brake disc.
NOTE:
Make sure that there is enough space
between the brake pads before installing
the brake caliper onto the brake disc.
4. Install the wheel axle pinch bolt.
5. Install the brake torque rod bolt at the
brake caliper bracket.6. Install the wheel axle pinch bolt.
7. Lower the rear wheel so that it is on

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
•Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be sure
to avoid using cloths or sponges
which have been in contact with
strong or abrasive cleaning prod-
ucts, solvent or thinner, fuel (gaso-
line), rust removers or inhibitors,
brake fluid, antifreeze or elec-
trolyte.
•Do not use high-pressure washers
or steam-jet cleaners since they
cause water seepage and deterio-
ration in the following areas: seals
(of wheel and swingarm bearings,
fork and brakes), electric compo-
nents (couplers, connectors,
instruments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
•For motorcycles equipped with a
windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as they
will cause dulling or scratching.
Some cleaning compounds for
plastic may leave scratches on the
windshield. Test the product on asmall hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure that it does
not leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quality
plastic polishing compound after
washing.
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild deter-
gent, and a soft, clean sponge, and then
rinse thoroughly with clean water. Use a
toothbrush or bottlebrush for hard-to-reach
areas. Stubborn dirt and insects will come
off more easily if the area is covered with a
wet cloth for a few minutes before clean-
ing.After riding in the rain, near the sea or on
salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on roads
during winter are extremely corrosive in
combination with water, carry out the fol-
lowing steps after each ride in the rain,
near the sea or on salt-sprayed roads.
NOTE:
Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may
remain well into spring.
1. Clean the motorcycle with cold water
and a mild detergent, after the engine
has cooled down.
ECA00012
Do not use warm water since it increas-
es the corrosive action of the salt.
2. After drying the motorcycle, apply a
corrosion protection spray on all met-
al, including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces to prevent corrosion.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois or
an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome,
aluminum and stainless-steel parts,
including the exhaust system. (Even
the thermally induced discoloring of
stainless-steel exhaust systems can
be removed through polishing).
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion protec-
tion spray on all metal, including
chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal cleaner
to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage caused
by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the motorcycle dry completely be-
fore storing or covering it.EWA00031WARNING0
•Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires.
•If necessary, clean the brake discs
and brake linings with a regular
brake disc cleaner or acetone, and
wash the tires with warm water
and a mild detergent. Before riding
at higher speeds, test the motorcy-
cle’s braking performance and cor-
nering behavior.
ECA00013
•Apply spray oil and wax sparingly
and make sure to wipe off any
excess.
•Never apply oil or wax to any rub-
ber and plastic parts, but treat
them with a suitable care product.
•Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear away
the paint.
NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on
what products to use.
