Indicator and warning lights
EAU00057
Turn signal indicator light “5”
This indicator light flashes when the
turn signal switch is pushed to the left
or right.
EAU00063
High beam indicator light “&”
This indicator light comes on when
the high beam of the headlight is
switched on.
EAU04304
2-stroke engine oil level warning
light “
7
”
This warning light comes on when
the 2-stroke engine oil level is low.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked according to the
following procedure.
1. Set the engine stop switch to
"#" and turn the key to "ON".
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position or pull the clutch
lever.
3. Push the start switch. If the
warning light does not come on
while pushing the start switch,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
NOTE:
Even if the 2-stroke engine oil level is
sufficient, the warning light may flick-
er when riding on a slope or during
sudden acceleration or deceleration,
but this is not a malfunction.
EAU00061
Neutral indicator light “N”
This indicator light comes on when
the transmission is in the neutral
position.

cCThe following precautions must be
observed to prevent a fire hazard
or other damages.
8Use only unleaded gasoline.
The use of leaded gasoline will
cause unrepairable damage to
the catalytic converter.
8Never park the motorcycle
near possible fire hazards
such as grass or other materi-
als that easily burn.
8Do not allow the engine to idle
too long.
EAU03750
2-stroke engine oilMake sure that there is sufficient oil in
the 2-stroke engine oil tank. Add the
recommended 2-stroke engine oil if
necessary.NOTE:
Make sure that the 2-stroke engine
oil tank cap is properly installed.

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
4The condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpect-
edly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak-
age or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thor-
ough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.
EAU03439
Pre-operation check list
ITEM CHECKS PAGE
Fuel•Check fuel level in fuel tank.
•Refuel if necessary.
•Check fuel line for leakage.3-7–3-9
2-stroke engine oil•Check oil level in oil tank.
•If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
•Check vehicle for oil leakage.3-10
Transmission oil•Check oil level in transmission case.
•If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.6-8–6-10
Coolant•Check coolant level in reservoir.
•If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified level.
•Check cooling system for leakage.6-10–6-13
Front brake•Check operation.
•If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic system.
•Check lever free play.
•Adjust if necessary.
•Check fluid level in reservoir.
•If necessary, add recommended brake fluid to specified level.
•Check hydraulic system for leakage.3-7, 6-21, 6-23–6-24

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

cCThe 2-stroke engine oil level warn-
ing light should come on when the
start switch is pushed, and it
should go off when the start
switch is released. If the warning
light flickers or remains on after
starting, immediately stop the
engine, and then check the
2-stroke engine oil level and the
vehicle for oil leakage. If neces-
sary, add 2-stroke engine oil, and
then check the warning light again.
If the warning light does not come
on when pushing the start switch,
or if it does not go off after starting
with sufficient 2-stroke engine oil,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.6. After starting the engine, move
the starter (choke) lever back
halfway.
ECA00045
cCFor maximum engine life, never
accelerate hard when the engine is
cold!7. When the engine is warm, turn
the starter (choke) off.NOTE:
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off.
EAU01258
Starting a warm engineFollow the same procedure as for
starting a cold engine with the excep-
tion that the starter (choke) is not
required when the engine is warm.

EAU00424
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
8Thoroughly warm up the engine.
8Turn the starter (choke) off as
soon as possible.
8Shift up swiftly, and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
8Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the
engine.
8Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cross-
ings).
EAU00436
Engine break-inThere is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1,000 km. For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do
not put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,000 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheat-
ing must be avoided.
EAU00453
0–500 km
8Avoid prolonged operation above
6,000 r/min.
8After every hour of operation,
stop the engine, and then let it
cool for five to ten minutes.
8Vary the engine speed from time
to time. Do not operate the
engine at one set throttle posi-
tion.
500–1,000 km
8Avoid prolonged operation
above 7,000 r/min.
8Rev the engine freely through
the gears, but do not use full
throttle at any time.
EC000060
cCAfter 1,000 km of operation, the
transmission oil must be changed.

6 To install the spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with
a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjust the gap to
specification.
2. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating sur-
face, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then
tighten it 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
1/4–1/2 turn past finger tight.
However, the spark plug should be
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.4. Install the spark plug cap.
EAU04272
Transmission oil
Transmission oil
The transmission oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the transmission oil must be changed
at the intervals specified in the peri-
odic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the transmission oil level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:
Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when checking
the oil level. A slight tilt to the side
can result in a false reading.2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
