OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17081
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 2800
r/min.
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 3300
r/min.
CAUTION:
ECA10301
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
the engine oil must be changed and
the oil filter cartridge or element re-placed.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.CAUTION:
ECA10310
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-cle.
NOTE:During and after the engine break-in
period, the exhaust heat may cause
discoloration of the exhaust pipe, butthis is normal.

NOTE:
Air filter
This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with com-
pressed air to avoid damaging it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake and clutch service
Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid and clutch fluid levels.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers as well as clutch master
and release cylinders, and change the brake and clutch fluids.Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt to the side can result in afalse reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up until
the engine oil has reached a nor-
mal temperature of 60 °C (140 °F),
let it continue to idle for ten sec-
onds, and then turn the engine off.
NOTE:To achieve the proper engine oil tem-
perature for an accurate oil level read-
ing, the engine must have first
completely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes tonormal operating temperature.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.NOTE:The engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.4. If the engine oil is at or below the
minimum level mark, add sufficient
oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.
NOTE:When adding oil, be careful not to over-
fill the engine oil tank; the oil level rises
faster starting from the half level portionon the dipstick.
5. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.

CAUTION:
ECA10900
Make sure that the oil filler cap is se-
curely tightened, otherwise oil may
seep out when the engine is run-ning.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment)
1. Remove the cowling. (See page
6-5.)
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the oil tank
to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the oil tank.5. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
6. Remove the engine oil drain bolt to
drain the oil from the crankcase.
NOTE:Skip steps 7–11 if the oil filter cartridgeis not being replaced.
7. Remove the rectifier/regulator by
removing the bolts.
8. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.

NOTE:An oil filter wrench is available at aYamaha dealer.
9. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to
the O-ring of the new oil filter car-
tridge.
NOTE:
Make sure that the O-ring is properlyseated.
10. Install the new oil filter cartridge
with an oil filter wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.11. Install the rectifier/regulator by in-
stalling the bolts, and then tighten
them to the specified torque.
12. Install the engine oil drain bolts,
and then tighten them to the spec-
ified torques.

613. Pour only 2.5 L (2.6 US qt) (2.2
Imp.qt) of the specified amount of
recommended engine oil through
the filler hole, insert the dipstick,
and then tighten the oil filler cap.
14. Start the engine, rev it several
times, and then turn it off.
15. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
and then gradually fill the oil tank
with the remaining oil quantity
while regularly checking the oil lev-
el on the dipstick.
CAUTION:
ECA15080
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 oil tank.
16. Install the engine oil filler cap.
17. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
18. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
19. Install the cowling.
