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.

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.

63. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, and then check the oil
level through the check window
located at the right side of the
crankcase.
NOTE:
The transmission oil should be at or
above the minimum level mark.4. If the oil is below the minimum
level mark, remove the oil filler
cap, add sufficient oil of the rec-
ommended type to raise it to the
correct level, and then install and
tighten the cap.To change the transmission oil
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the trans-
mission to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the oil filler cap and
drain bolt to drain the oil from the
transmission.4. Install the transmission oil drain
bolt, and then tighten it to the
specified torque.
5. Add the specified amount of the
recommended transmission oil,
and then install and tighten the
oil filler cap.

cC8In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the transmission
oil also lubricates the clutch),
do not mix any chemical addi-
tives with the oil.
8Make sure that no foreign
material enters the transmis-
sion.6. Start the engine, and then let it
idle for several minutes while
checking the transmission for oil
leakage. If oil is leaking, immedi-
ately turn off the engine and
check for the cause.
EAU03761
CoolantTo check the coolant level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.NOTE:
8The coolant level must be
checked on a cold engine since
the level varies with engine tem-
perature.
8Make sure that the motorcycle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, open the
reservoir cap, add coolant to the
maximum level mark, and then
close the reservoir cap.

6 4. Lift the front of the fuel tank to
position the fuel tank away from
the air filter case. (Do not discon-
nect the fuel hoses!)
EW000071
w8Make sure that the fuel tank is
well supported.
8Do not tilt or pull the fuel tank
too much, otherwise the fuel
hoses may come loose, which
could cause fuel leakage.
5. Remove the relays by pulling
them off their holders, and the air
filter case cover by removing the
screws.6. Pull the sponge material out,
clean it with solvent, and then
squeeze the remaining solvent
out.
7. Apply oil of the recommended
type to the entire surface of the
sponge material, and then
squeeze the excess oil out.
NOTE:
The sponge material should be wet
but not dripping.

Checking the brake fluid
levelInsufficient brake fluid may allow air
to enter the brake system, possibly
causing it to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake
fluid is above the minimum level mark
and replenish if necessary. A low
brake fluid level may indicate worn
brake pads and/or brake system
leakage. If the brake level is low, be
sure to check the brake pads for
wear and the brake system for leak-
age.Observe these precautions:
8When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
brake fluid reservoir is level.
8Use only the recommended qual-
ity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, caus-
ing leakage and poor braking
performance.8Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking perfor-
mance.
8Be careful that water does not
enter the brake fluid reservoir
when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of
the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if
the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.

62. Wipe the drive chain dry.
3. Thoroughly lubricate the drive
chain with a special O-ring chain
lubricant.
ECA00052
cCDo not use engine oil or any other
lubricants for the drive chain, as
they may contain substances that
could damage the O-rings.
EAU02962
Checking and lubricating the
cablesThe operation of all control cables
and the condition of the cables
should be checked before each ride,
and the cables and cable ends
should be lubricated if necessary. If
a cable is damaged or does not move
smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer
check or replace it.
EW000112
wDamage to the outer sheath may
interfere with proper cable opera-
tion and will cause the inner cable
to rust. Replace a damaged cable
as soon as possible to prevent
unsafe conditions.
Recommended lubricant:
