Checking the spark plug
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause
any spark plug to slowly erode, the
spark plug should be removed and
checked in accordance with the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plug can reveal the condition of
the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Remove the spark plug as
shown, with the spark plug
wrench included in the owner’s
tool kit.
To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insula-
tor around the center electrode of
the spark plug is a medium-to-
light tan (the ideal color when the
vehicle is ridden normally).
NOTE:
If the spark plug shows a distinctly
different color, the engine could be
defective. Do not attempt to diagnosesuch problems yourself. Instead, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electro-
de erosion and excessive carbon
or other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.
To install the spark plug
1. Distance between electrodes
1. Measure the spark plug gap with
a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjust the gap to spe-
cification.2. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating surfa-
ce, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is
1/4~1/2 turn past finger tight. Howe-
ver, the spark plug should be tighte-
ned to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
20 Nm (2,0 m•kgf, 14,6 ft•lbf)
Spark plug gap:
0,6 ~ 0,7 mm (0,24 ~ 0,27in)
Specified spark plug:
BR8HS/NGK

mission oil must be changed as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
1. Start the engine, warm it up by
riding the scooter for several
minutes, and then stop the engi-
ne.
1. Drain plug
2. Place the scooter on the centers-
tand.

To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
1. Coolant level gauge window
2. Check the coolant level through
the check window.
NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant reservoir
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
front cowling by removing the
screws.
4. Open the reservoir cap, and then
add coolant to the maximum
level mark.
ECA10470
CAUTION
If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with coo-
lant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the coo-
ling system will not be protec-
ted against frost and corrosion.
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possi-
ble, otherwise the effective-
ness of the coolant will be
reduced.
5. Close the reservoir cap, and then
install the front cowling by insta-
lling the screws.Coolant reservoir capacity:

Checking the front brake
fluid level
1. Minimum level
Insufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low bra-
ke fluid level may indicate worn brake
pads and/or brake system leakage. If
the brake fluid level is low, be sure to
check the brake pads for wear and
the brake system for leakage.Observe these precautions:
When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
master cylinder is level by turning
the handlebars.
Use only the recommended qua-
lity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, cau-
sing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking performan-
ce.
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.
Brake fluid may deteriorate pain-
ted surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if
the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
EAU22720
Changing the brake fluid
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
brake fluid at the intervals specified in
the NOTE after the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, have the oil seals of the brake
master cylinder and caliper as well as
the brake hose replaced at the inter-
vals listed below or whenever they are
damaged or leaking.
Oil seals: Replace every two
years.
Brake hose: Replace every four
years.
