air, doing so will only damage it.
 The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service  Regularly check the front and rear brake fluid levels. Replenish if necessary.
 Every two years replace the rear brake master cylinder, the internal components of the front brake master cylinder, the
brake calipers, and change the brake fluid.
 Replace the brake hoses every four years or sooner if cracked or damaged.30 *Throttle g

Checkin g the spark plu gsThe spark plugs are important engine
components, which should be
checked periodically, preferably by a
Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depos- its will cause any spark plug to slowly
erode, they should be removed and
checked in accordance with the peri-
odic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plugs can reveal the condition of
the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of each spark plug
should be a medium-to-light tan (the
ideal color when the vehicle is ridden
normally), and all spark plugs installed
in the engine should have the same
color. If any spark plug shows a dis-
tinctly different color, the engine could
be operating improperly. Do not at-
tempt to diagnose such problems
yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, it should be replaced.
