CAUTION:
ECA10420
Before installing the engine oil drain
bolt, do not forget to install the O-
ring, compression spring, and oilstrainer in position.
9. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and then
install and tighten the oil filler cap.CAUTION:
ECA11620
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Donot 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 crankcase.
10. 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.
11. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
EAU20070
Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU37510
To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition,
the coolant must be changed at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.NOTE:
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
Tightening torque:

32 Nm (3.2 m·kgf, 23 ft·lbf)
Recommended engine oil:
See page 8-1.
Oil quantity:
With oil filter element replacement:
0.90 L (0.95 US qt) (0.79 Imp.qt)

NOTE:The coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.3. If the coolant is at or below the minimum level mark, remove cowl-
ing A. (See page 6-5.)
4. Loosen the coolant reservoir cap retainer bolt, and then lift the re-
tainer upward.
5. Remove the coolant reservoir cap, and then add coolant to the maxi-
mum level mark.
CAUTION:
ECA10470
use only YAMAHA GENUINE
COLANT. Using coolan other than
recommended, could cause damage
to oil seal and o-rings, as whell
as to the cooling system. If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be sufficiently cooled and the cool-
ing system will not be protected
against frost and corrosion.
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness ofthe coolant will be reduced.WARNING
EWA10380
Never attempt to remove the radiatorcap when the engine is hot.
6. Install the coolant reservoir cap.
7. Place the coolant reservoir cap re- tainer in the original position, and
then tighten the bolt to the speci-
fied torque.
8. Install the cowling.

2. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws and clamp,
and then pull the air filter element
out.3. Lightly tap the air filter element to
remove most of the dust and dirt,
and then blow the remaining dirt
out with compressed air as shown.
If the air filter element is damaged,

air filter case.
CAUTION:
ECA10480
Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the
air filter case.
The engine should never be op-
erated without the air filter ele-
ment installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) maybecome excessively worn.
5. Install the air filter case cover by in-
stalling the clamp and screws.
NOTE:
Make sure that the carburetor air
vent hose is routed as shown.
If dust or water collects in the air fil-

Adjusting the carburetor The carburetor is an important part of
the engine and requires very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Therefore, most car-
buretor adjustments should be left to a
Yamaha dealer, who has the neces-
sary professional knowledge and expe-
rience. The adjustment described in the
following section, however, may be ser-
viced by the owner as part of routine
maintenance.CAUTION:
ECA10550
The carburetor has been set and ex-
tensively tested at the Yamaha fac-
tory. Changing these settings
without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor perfor-mance of or damage to the engine.

Adjusting the engine idling
speed The engine idling speed must be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
The engine should be warm before
making this adjustment.NOTE:
The engine is warm when it quickly
responds to the throttle.
A diagnostic tachometer is neededto make this adjustment.
1. Remove cowling B. (See page
6-5.)
2. Attach the diagnostic tachometer
to the spark plug lead.
3. Check the engine idling speed
and, if necessary, adjust it to spec-
ification by turning the throttle stop
screw. To increase the engine
idling speed, turn the screw in di-
rection (a). To decrease the en-
gine idling speed, turn the screw in
direction (b).
NOTE:
If the specified idling speed cannot be
obtained as described above, have aYamaha dealer make the adjustment.
4. Install the cowling.

sure 3.0–7.0 mm (0.12–0.28 in) at the
throttle grip. Periodically check the
throttle cable free play and, if neces-
sary, adjust it as follows.NOTE:The engine idling speed must be cor-
rectly adjusted before checking and ad-justing the throttle cable free play.

Valve clearance The valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this
from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
EAU21571
Tires To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points
regarding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
WARNING
EWA10500
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
The tire air pressure must be ad-
justed in accordance with the
riding speed and with the total
weight of rider, passenger, car-
go, and accessories approvedfor this model.

ing nut at each end of the
swingarm in direction (b), and then
push the rear wheel forward.
NOTE:Using the alignment marks on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both chain pullers are in the same posi-tion for proper wheel alignment.CAUTION:
ECA10570
Improper drive chain slack will over-
load the engine as well as other vital
parts of the motorcycle and can leadto chain slippage or breakage. To
prevent this from occurring, keep
the drive chain slack within the
specified limits.
4. Tighten both locknuts, and then
tighten the axle nut and brake
torque rod nut to their specified
torques.NOTE:When tightening the axle nut, hold the
wheel axle with a wrench to keep it fromturning.
