12. Refill with the specified amount of the recom-
mended engine oil, and then insert the dip-
stick completely into the oil filler hole.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any parts after the
engine and exhaust system have cooled down. NOTICEECB00301In 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 CONSERV-
ING II” or higher. 
Make sure that no foreign material enters the
crankcase.
13. 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.
14. Turn the engine off, wait at least ten minutes, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
15. Install the access cover by turning it clock- wise.EBU38620Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA Part born ofthe engineers’ passion and belief that engine oil is
an important liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of mechanical en-
gineering, chemistry, electronics and track test-
ing, and have them develop the engine together
with the oil it will use. Yamalube oils take full ad-
vantage of the base oil’s qualities and blend in the
ideal balance of additives to make sure the final oil
clears our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and synthetic oils have their own distinct characters and value.
Recommended oil:
See page 11-1.
Oil quantity: Without oil filter cartridge replacement:2.00 L (2.11 US qt, 1.76 Imp.qt)
With oil filter cartridge replacement: 2.10 L (2.22 US qt, 1.85 Imp.qt)

96. Wash the sponge material gently but thor-
oughly in solvent. WARNING! Always use
parts cleaning solvent. Never use low-
flash-point solvents or gasoline because
the engine could catch fire or explode.

not twist the sponge material when
squeezing it.

EBU29705Adjusting the throttle lever free playPeriodically check the throttle lever free play and
adjust if necessary.1. Slide the rubber cover back.
2. Loosen the locknut. 3. To increase the throttle lever free play, turn
the throttle lever free play adjusting bolt in di-
rection (a). To decrease the throttle lever free
play, turn the adjusting bolt in direction (b).
4. Tighten the locknut.
5. Slide the rubber cover to its original position.
EBU24061Valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with use, resulting in
improper air-fuel mixture and/or engine noise. To
prevent this from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic maintenance and lu-
brication chart.EBU29602BrakesReplacement of brake components requires pro-
fessional knowledge. Brake service should be
performed by a Yamaha dealer.
WARNING

ed brakes could lead to a loss in braking ability
and an accident.

9brake pads for wear and the brake system for
leakage. If the brake fluid level suddenly goes
down, have a Yamaha dealer check the brake sys-
tem before further riding.
WARNING
EWB02721Improper maintenance can result in loss of
braking ability. Observe these precautions:

Insufficient brake fluid may allow air to enter
the brake system, reducing braking perfor-
mance.
 Clean the filler cap before removing. Use
only DOT 4 brake fluid from a sealed contain-
er.
 Use only the specified brake fluid; otherwise,
the rubber seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage.
 Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Add-
ing a brake fluid other than DOT 4 may result
in a harmful chemical reaction.
 Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will
significantly lower the boiling point of the flu-
id and may result in vapor lock.
EBU24293Changing the brake fluidHave a Yamaha dealer change the brake fluid at
the intervals specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. In addition, have the oil seals
of the master cylinders and calipers as well as the
brake hoses replaced at the intervals listed below
or whenever they are damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two years.
 Brake hoses: Replace every four years.
