Care
The exposure of its technology
makes a motorcycle charming but
also vulnerable. Although high-quality
components are used, they are not
all rust-resistant. While a rusty
exhaust pipe may remain unnoticed
on a car, it does look unattractive on
a motorcycle. Frequent and proper
care, however, will keep your motor-
cycle looking good, extend its life and
maintain its performance. Moreover,
the warranty states that the vehicle
must be properly taken care of. For
all these reasons, it is recommended
that you observe the following clean-
ing and storing precautions.Before cleaning
1. Cover up the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag.
2. Make sure that all caps and cov-
ers as well as all electrical cou-
plers and connectors, including
the spark plug cap, are tightly
installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
tooth or bottle brush, but never
apply such products onto seals,
gaskets, sprockets, the drive
chain and wheel axles. Always
rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with water.Cleaning
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a neu-
tral detergent and a soft clean
sponge, then rinse with plenty of
clean water. Use a brush for hard-to-
reach parts. Tougher dirt and insects
will come off more easily if the area is
covered with a wet cloth for a few
minutes before cleaning.

Avoid using strong acidic
wheel cleaners, especially on
spoked wheels. If you do use
such products for hard-to-
remove dirt, do not leave it on
any longer than instructed,
then thoroughly rinse it off
with water, immediately dry
the area and apply a corrosion
protection spray.

After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a
chamois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive chain
and lubricate it to prevent it from
rusting.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally
induced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be
removed through polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even
chrome- and nickel-plated) metal
surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner to remove any remaining
dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry complete-
ly before storing it or covering it.EWA00001
w
Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes and tires. If
necessary, clean the brake discs
and linings with a regular brake
disc cleaner or acetone, and wash
the tires with warm water and mild
soap. Then, carefully test the
motorcycle for its braking perfor-
mance and cornering behavior.

Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and wipe off any excess.
8 8
Never apply oil or wax on rub-
ber and plastic parts, but treat
them with a suitable care
product.
8 8
Avoid using abrasive polish-
ing compounds as they wear
away the paint.
NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice
on what products to use.

Storage
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a
cool, dry place and, if necessary, pro-
tect it against dust with a porous
cover.
ECA00014
cC

8
Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cov-
ering it with a tarp while it is
still wet will allow water and
humidity to seep in and cause
rust.
8 8
To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for
several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float cham-
ber by loosening the drain bolt;
this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the
drained fuel into the fuel tank.
3. Only for motorcycles equipped
with a fuel cock which has an
“OFF” position: Turn the fuel
cock to “OFF”.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
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 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, install the spark
plug and then the spark plug
cap.
EWA00003
w
When turning the engine over, be
sure to ground the spark plug elec-
trodes to prevent damage or injury
from sparking.
