TIPThe air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake and YCC-S clutch service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake and YCC-S clutch fluid levels.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers as well as YCC-S clutch
master and release cylinders, and change the brake and YCC-S clutch fluids.
• Replace the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

NOTICE
ECA11621
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. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.10. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.TIPAfter the engine is started, the engine
oil level warning light should go off if
the oil level is sufficient.
NOTICE
ECA10402
If the oil level warning light flickers
or remains on even if the oil level is
correct, immediately turn the engine
off and have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.11. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
EAU20017
Final gear oilThe final gear case must be checked
for oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the vehicle. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be
checked and the oil changed as fol-
lows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
WARNING
EWA10371
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the final gear case.
Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.To check the final gear oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.TIPMake sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can re-
sult in a false reading.

Cast wheelsTo maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your vehicle,
note the following points regarding the
specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends, warp-
age or other damage before each
ride. If any damage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the
wheel. Do not attempt even the
smallest repair to the wheel. A de-
formed or cracked wheel must be
replaced.
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
EAU40621
YCC-S clutchThis model is equipped with a hydrau-
lic clutch, therefore, it is necessary to
check the YCC-S clutch fluid level and
check the hydraulic system for leakage
before each ride. If the YCC-S clutch
plates wear out, shifting becomes
rough or clutch slippage will occur,
causing poor acceleration. If any of the
above occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the YCC-S clutch.
EAU37914
Checking the brake lever free
playThere should be no free play at the
brake lever end. If there is free play,
have a Yamaha dealer inspect the
brake system.
WARNING
EWA14212
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
lever can indicate the presence of
air in the hydraulic system. If there is
air in the hydraulic system, have a
Yamaha dealer bleed the system be-
fore operating the vehicle. Air in the
hydraulic system will diminish the1. No brake lever free play

EAU22501
Rear brake pads
Check each rear brake pad for damage
and measure the lining thickness. If a
brake pad is damaged or if the lining
thickness is less than 0.8 mm (0.03 in),
have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake pads as a set.
EAU40593
Checking the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluid levelsBefore riding, check that the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluids are above the min-
imum level marks. Check the brake
and YCC-S clutch fluid levels with the
tops of the reservoirs level. Replenish
the brake and YCC-S clutch fluids if
necessary.

WARNING
EWA16021
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of braking ability or YCC-S
clutch operation. Observe these
precautions:
Insufficient brake or YCC-S
clutch fluid may allow air to en-
ter the brake or YCC-S clutch
system, reducing braking or
YCC-S clutch performance.
Clean the filler caps before re-
moving. Use only DOT 4 brake
fluid from a sealed container.
Use only the specified brake flu-
id; otherwise, the rubber seals
may deteriorate, causing leak-
age.Refill with the same type of
brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water or dust
does not enter the brake or
YCC-S clutch fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid
and may result in vapor
lock, and dirt may clog the ABS
hydraulic unit valves.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake fluid may damage painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.The brake and YCC-S clutch fluid res-
ervoir diaphragms will lose their shape
from the negative pressure if the fluid
level goes down too far. Be sure to re-
turn the diaphragms to their original
shape before reinstalling them.
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down. A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads and/or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure tocheck the brake pads for wear and the
brake system for leakage. A low
YCC-S clutch fluid level may indicate
YCC-S clutch system leakage; there-
fore, be sure to check the YCC-S
clutch system for leakage. If the brake
or YCC-S clutch fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the cause before further riding.
Specified brake and YCC-S clutch
fluid:
DOT 4 brake fluid

Changing the brake and
YCC-S clutch fluidsHave a Yamaha dealer change the
brake and YCC-S clutch fluids at the
intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart or in the
TIP after the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart. In addition, have the
oil seals of the brake and YCC-S clutch
master cylinders and calipers as well
as the brake and YCC-S clutch hoses
replaced at the intervals listed below or
whenever they are damaged or leak-
ing.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake and YCC-S clutch hoses:
Replace every four years.
EAU23098
Checking and lubricating the
cablesThe operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubri-
cated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or re-
place it. WARNING! Damage to the
outer housing of cables may result
in internal rusting and cause inter-
ference with cable movement. Re-
place damaged cables as soon as
possible to prevent unsafe condi-
tions.
[EWA10712]EAU23115
Checking and lubricating the
throttle grip and cableThe operation of the throttle grip
should be checked before each ride. In
addition, the cable should be lubricat-
ed by a Yamaha dealer at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
chart.
The throttle cable is equipped with a
rubber cover. Make sure that the cover
is securely installed. Even though the
cover is installed correctly, it does not
completely protect the cable from wa-
ter entry. Therefore, use care not to
pour water directly onto the cover or
cable when washing the vehicle. If the
cable or cover becomes dirty, wipe
clean with a moist cloth.
Recommended lubricant:
Yamaha cable lubricant or other
suitable cable lubricant
