Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Your motorcycle’s fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your rid-
ing style. The following tips can help
reduce fuel consumption:
8Warm up the engine before rid-
ing.
8Turn off the starter (choke) as
soon as possible.
8Shift up swiftly and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
8Do not double-clutch or rev the
engine while shifting down and
avoid high engine speeds with
no load on the engine.
8Turn off the engine instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or railroad crossings.
EAU00436Engine break-in
There is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your motorcycle than
the period between zero and 1,000
km. For this reason we ask that you
carefully read the following material.
Because the engine is brand new,
you must not put an excessive load
on it for the first 1,000 km. The vari-
ous parts in the engine wear and pol-
ish themselves to the correct operat-
ing clearances. During this period,
prolonged full throttle operation, or
any condition which might result in
excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.

Do not put in any chemical
additives. Transmission oil
also lubricates the clutch and
additives could cause clutch
slippage.

Be sure no foreign material
enters the crankcase.
6. Start the engine and warm up for
a few minutes. While warming
up, check for oil leakage. If oil
leakage is found, stop the engine

EAU01621*Cooling system
1. Check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank when the engine is
cold as the coolant level will vary
with engine temperature. The
coolant level should be between
the minimum and maximum
marks on the tank.
2. If the coolant level is at or below
the minimum mark, fill with tap
water (soft water) to bring the
level up to the specified level.
Change the coolant every two
years.
3. If your motorcycle overheats, see
page 6-38 for details.

EAU00687Wheels
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation, note
the following:
8Always inspect the wheels
before a ride. Check for cracks,
bends, or warpage of the wheels.
If any abnormal condition exists
in a wheel, consult a Yamaha
dealer. Do not attempt even
small repairs to the wheel. If a
wheel is deformed or cracked, it
must be replaced.
8Tires and wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either one is
changed or replaced. Failure to
have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteristics,
and shortened tire life.
8Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be broken in for it
to develop its optimal character-
istics.
