Safety is an obligation of the owner.
Periodic inspection, adjustment and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in
the safest and most efficient condi-
tion possible. The most important
points of inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication are explained on the fol-
lowing 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 MAINTE-
NANCE INTERVALS MAY NEED TO
BE SHORTENED.

replaced more frequently, other-
wise rapid engine wear may result.
Consult a Yamaha dealer for prop-
er maintenance intervals.
