9Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle/scooter’s vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements). Any dam-
age, fluid leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important that, in addition
to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.
EAU00340PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST

1. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
2. Turn the main switch to “ON” and
the engine stop switch to “#“.
3. Shift transmission into neutral.
NOTE:
When the transmission is in neutral,
the neutral indicator light should be
on. If the light does not come on, ask
a Yamaha dealer to inspect it.
4. Turn on the starter (choke) and
completely close the throttle grip.
5. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, then
try again. Each attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the bat-
tery. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on any one attempt.
EC000034
cC
The oil level indicator light should
come on when the start switch is
pushed and should go off when
the start switch is released. If the
indicator light flickers or remains
on, immediately stop the engine
and check the engine oil level and
for oil leakage. If necessary, fill the
engine with oil and check to see
that the oil level indicator light
goes off. If the light does not go off
even with sufficient oil in the
crankcase or the light does not
come on when pushing the start
switch, consult a Yamaha dealer.
6. After starting the engine, move
the starter (choke) halfway back.
NOTE:
For maximum engine life, never
accelerate hard with a cold engine!
7. After the engine is warm, turn off
the starter (choke) completely.
NOTE:
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off.

2. With the engine stopped, check
the oil level through the level
window located at the right side
crankcase cover.
NOTE:
Wait a few minutes until the oil level
settles before checking.
3. The oil level should be above the
minimum level mark on the level
window. If the level is low, add
sufficient oil to raise it to the
proper level.Transmission oil replacement
1. Warm up the engine for several
minutes.
2. Stop the engine. Place an oil pan
under the engine and remove the

Oil level measurement
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it an upright posi-
tion. Warm up the engine for
several minutes.
NOTE:
Be sure the motorcycle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt toward the side can
result in false readings.

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.
