the engine is running, stop the en-
gine immediately and check oil level.
If the oil level is below the minimum
level, add sufficient oil of the recom-
mended type to raise it up to the cor-
rect level. If the oil pressure warning
light remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.TIPIf the warning light does not go off after

TIP
Air filter
This model’s air filter is equipped wi th a disposable oil-coated paper elemen t, which must not be cleaned with com-
pressed air to avoid damaging it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more fr equently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

Hydraulic brake service
Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
Every two years replace the internal components of t he brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid. Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

CanisterThis model is equipped with a canister
to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere. Before operating
this vehicle, make sure to check the fol- lowing:

Check each hose connection.

Check each hose and canister for
cracks or damage. Replace if dam-
aged.

Make sure that the canister breath-
er is not blocked, and if necessary,
clean it.
EAU73973
Engine oilThe 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 chart.NOTICE


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.

To check the engine oil level 1. After warming up the engine, wait a few minutes for the oil level to
settle for an accurate reading.
2. With the vehicle on a level surface, hold it upright for an accurate read-
ing.
3. Check the oil level through the check window located at the bot-
tom of the left-side of the crank-
case.
TIPThe engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks. 4. If the engine oil is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove the
oil filler cap and add oil 5. Check the O-ring for damage, and
replace if necessary.
6. Install the engine oil filler cap.
To change the engine oil (and filter) 1. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap, the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.

8. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil.
TIPWipe off any spilled oil before startingthe engine.
9. Check the O-ring for damage, and then install the oil filler cap. 10. Start the engine and let it idle for
several minutes while checking for
oil leakage. If any leakage is
found, immediately stop the en-
gine and check for the cause.
TIPAfter the engine is started, the oil pres-
sure warning light should go off if the oillevel is sufficient.NOTICE

If the oil pressure warning light flick-
ers or remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

Why YamalubeYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA
Part born of the engineers’ passion and
belief that engine oil is an important liq-
uid engine component. We form teams
of specialists in the fields of mechanical
engineering, chemistry, electronics and
track testing, and have them develop
the engine together with the oil it will
use. Yamalube oils take full advantage
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.
Yamaha’s experience gained over
many years of research and develop-
ment into oil since the 1960’s helps
make Yamalube the best choice for
your Yamaha engine.
EAUS1203
CoolantThe coolant level should be checked
regularly. In addition, the coolant must
be changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.TIPIf genuine Yamaha coolant is not avail-
able, use an ethylene glycol antifreeze
containing corrosion inhibitors for alu-
minum engines and mix with distilledwater at a 1:1 ratio.
EAU20097
To check the coolant level
Since the coolant level varies with en-
gine temperature, check when the en-
gine is cold. 1. Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2. With the vehicle in an upright posi- tion, look at the coolant level in the reservoir.
3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level mark, remove the
coolant reservoir cap. WARNING!
Remove only the coolant reser-
voir cap. Never attempt to re-
move the radiator cap when the
engine is hot.
[EWA15162]
Recommended coolant: YAMALUBE coolant
Coolant quantity: Coolant reservoir (max level mark):0.25 L (0.26 US qt, 0.22 Imp.qt)
Radiator (including all routes): 2.25 L (2.38 US qt, 1.98 Imp.qt)
