Spark plug inspection
The spark plug is an important
engine component and should be
inspected periodically, preferably by
a Yamaha dealer. The condition of
the spark plug can indicate the condi-
tion of the engine. The ideal color on
the white insulator around the center
electrode is a medium-to-light tan
color for a motorcycle that is being
ridden normally. Do not attempt to
diagnose any problems yourself.
Instead, take the motorcycle to a
Yamaha dealer. The spark plug
should be periodically removed and
inspected because heat and depositswill cause the spark plug to slowly
break down and erode. If electrode
erosion becomes excessive, or if car-
bon and other deposits are exces-
sive, the spark plug should be
replaced with the specified plug.
Before installing the spark plug, mea-
sure the electrode gap with a wire
thickness gauge and adjust it to
specification.When installing the plug, the gasket
surface should always be cleaned
and a new gasket used. Any grime
should be wiped off from the threads
and the spark plug tightened to the
specified torque.NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4
to 1/2 turn past finger tight. The spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.

To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation, note
the following:
Tire air pressure
Always check and adjust the tire
pressure before operating the motor-
cycle.

Tire inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tire equals the
ambient air temperature. Tire infla-
tion pressure must be adjusted
according to total weight of cargo,
rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if
approved for this model), and vehi-
cle speed.

Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several character-
istics of your motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance
and safety. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift.
Securely pack your heaviest items
close to the center of the motorcy-
cle, and distribute the weight even-
ly from side to side. Properly
adjust the suspension for your
load, and check the condition and
pressure of your tires. NEVER
OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE.
Make sure the total weight of the
cargo, rider, passenger, and
accessories (fairing, saddlebags,
etc. if approved for this model)
does not exceed the maximum
load of the motorcycle. Operation
of an overloaded motorcycle could
cause tire damage, an accident, or
even injury.

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.

Drive chain lubrication
The chain consists of many parts
which work with each other. If the
chain is not maintained properly, it
will wear out quickly. Therefore, the
chain must be serviced regularly.
This service is especially necessary
when riding in dusty areas. This
motorcycle is equipped with a sealed
type chain. Steam cleaning, high-
pressure washers, and solvents can
damage the drive chain, so do not
use these for cleaning it. Use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubricate it
with SAE 30 ~ 50W motor oil. Do not
use any other lubricants on the drive
chain. They may contain solvents
that could damage the sealed chain.
EC000097
cC
Be sure to oil the chain after wash-
ing the motorcycle or riding in the
rain.

Cable inspection and
lubrication
EW000112
w
Damage to the outer housing of
cables may lead to internal rusting
and interfere with the cable move-
ment. Replace damaged cables as
soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
Lubricate the cables and cable ends.
If a cable does not operate smoothly,
ask a Yamaha dealer to replace it.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil
EAU00773
Throttle cable and grip
lubrication
The throttle twist grip assembly
should be greased at the time that
the cable is lubricated, since the grip
must be removed to get at the end of
the throttle cable. After removing the
screws, hold the end of the cable up
in the air and put in several drops of
lubricant. With the throttle grip disas-
sembled, coat the metal surface of
the grip assembly with a suitable all-
purpose grease.

If any damage or unsmooth move-
ment is found with the front fork,
consult a Yamaha dealer.
EAU00794Steering inspection
Periodically inspect the condition of
the steering. Worn out or loose steer-
ing bearings may be dangerous.
Place a stand under the engine to
raise the front wheel off the ground.
Hold the lower end of the front forks
and try to move them forward and
backward. If any free play can be felt,
ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect and
adjust the steering. Inspection is eas-
ier if the front wheel is removed.
