EAU42031
En gine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the first 5
hours of riding. It is also important to
accustom the rider to the motorcycle
during this time. Please read the fol-
lowing information carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
5 hours of operation. The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheating
must be avoided. However, momen-
tary full-throttle operation under load
(i.e., two to three seconds maximum)
does not harm the engine. Each full-
throttle acceleration should be fol-
lowed with a substantial rest period for
the engine. To allow the engine to cool
down from the temporary buildup of
heat, cruise at a lower engine speed.
After the first 5 hours of operation,
thoroughly check the motorcycle for
loose parts, oil leakage and any other
problems. Be sure to inspect and make
adjustments thoroughly, especially ca-
bles. In addition, check all fittings and
fasteners for looseness, and tighten if
necessary.
NOTICE
ECA10271
If any en gine trou ble shoul d occur
d uring the en gine break-in perio d,
imme diately have a Yamaha d ealer
check the vehicle.
EAU40723
Parkin g
When parking, stop the engine, and
then turn the fuel cock lever to “S”
(stop).
WARNING
EWA10312
Since the en gine an d exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where ped estri-
ans or chil dren are not likely to
touch them and b e burne d.
Do not park on a slope or on soft
groun d, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasin g the
risk of a fuel leak an d fire.
Do not park near grass or other
flammab le materials which
mi ght catch fire.

TIP
Store the power reduction plate with
the Owner’s Manual so that it is readily
available whenever you want to reduce
the engine power.
4. Install the exhaust manifold and its
new gasket by installing the bolts,
and then tighten the bolts to the
specified torque.
EAU40894
Transmission oil
The transmission oil must be checked
for oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the motorcycle. In
addition, the transmission oil must be
changed at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.1. Place the motorcycle on the cen- terstand.
2. Place an oil pan under the trans- mission to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the transmission oil filler cap, the transmission oil drain bolt
and its gasket to drain the oil from
the transmission.
Tightening torque:
Exhaust manifold bolt: 9 Nm (0.9 m·kgf, 6.5 ft·lbf)

NOTICE
ECA10453
In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the transmission oil
also lu bricates the clutch), d o
not mix any chemical additives.
Do not use oils with a diesel
specification of “CD” or oils of a
hi gher quality than specifie d. In
a ddition, do not use oils la bele d
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the transmission.
6. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
the transmission for oil leakage. If
oil is leaking, immediately turn the
engine off and check for the cau-
se.
EAU41712
Middle an d final g ear cases
The middle and final gear cases must
be checked for grease leakage before
each ride. If any leakage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the
motorcycle. In addition, have a
Yamaha dealer check and lubricate the middle and final gears at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.

8 5. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark-
ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap. WARNING! To
prevent damag e or injury
from sparkin g, make sure to
g roun d the spark plu g elec-
tro des while turnin g the en-
g ine over. [EWA10952]
6. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers as
well as of the centerstand.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air pressure, and then lift
the motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
tively, turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.
8. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
TIP
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
