eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.

NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
severe damage to internal engine
parts, such as the valves and piston
rings, as well as to the exhaust sys-
tem.
Your Yamaha engine has been desig-
ned to use regular unleaded gasoline
with a research octane number of 91
or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark
plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.EAU39451
Fuel tank breather/overflow
hose
1. Fuel tank breather/overflow hose
Before operating the motorcycle:
●Check the fuel tank
breather/overflow hose connec-
tion.
●Check the fuel tank
breather/overflow hose for
cracks or damage, and replace it
if damaged.
●Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is
not blocked, and clean it if
necessary.

WARNING
The exhaust system is hot after
operation. To prevent a fire hazard
or burns:
●Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
●Park the motorcycle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
●Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down befo-
re doing any maintenance
work.
●Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
ECA10701
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The
use of leaded gasoline will cause
unrepairable damage to the cataly-
tic converter.

Periodic inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. Safety is an obligation
of the vehicle owner/operator. The
most important points of vehicle ins-
pection, adjustment, and lubrication
are explained on the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart
should be simply considered as a
general guide under normal riding
conditions. However, depending on
the weather, terrain, geographical
location, and individual use, the main-
tenance intervals may need to be
shortened.

Periodic maintenance and lubrication chart
TIP
●The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK,
a mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
●From 30000 km (17500 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6000 km (3500 mi).
●Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and
technical skills.
