Checking the spark plugs
The spark plugs are important engine
components, which are easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plugs should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plugs can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
To remove a spark plug
1. Remove cowling B. (See
page 6-6.)
2. Remove the spark plug cover by
pulling it out as shown.3. Remove the spark plug cap.
4. Remove the spark plug as shown
with the spark plug wrench includ-
ed in the owner’s tool kit.
To check the spark plugs
1. Check that the porcelain insulatoraround the center electrode on
each spark plug is a medi-
um-to-light tan (the ideal color
when the vehicle is ridden normal-
ly).
2. Check that all spark plugs installed
in the engine have the same color.
NOTE:
If any spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, the engine could be defec-
tive. Do not attempt to diagnose such
problems yourself. Instead, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
3. Check each spark plug for elec-
trode erosion and excessive car-
bon or other deposits, and replace
it if necessary.
To install a spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifica-
tion.

2. Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the
spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available wheninstalling 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 speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Place the spark plug cover in the
original position as shown, and
then install the cowling.

Engine oil and oil filter
cartridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
CAUTION:
ECA11290
The engine must be cold before pro-
ceeding with the oil level check, oth-
erwise the check will result in a false
reading.
NOTE:
Make sure that the vehicle 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 two
minutes, and then turn it off.
3. Wait two minutes until the oil set-

tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.
NOTE:
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment)
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the crankcase.
NOTE:
Skip steps 4–6 if the oil filter cartridge is
not being replaced.
4. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.

NOTE:
An oil filter wrench is available at a

5. Apply a thin coat of engine oil to
the O-ring of the new oil filter car-
tridge.
NOTE:
Make sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.
6. Install the new oil filter cartridge,
and then tighten it to the specified
torque with a torque wrench.7. Install the engine oil drain bolt, and
then tighten it to the specified
torque.
8. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and then
install and tighten the oil filler cap.
CAUTION:
ECA11620
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
Make sure that no foreign mate-

9. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking, im-
mediately turn the engine off and
check for the cause.
10. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
To reset the oil change indicator
light
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Hold the reset button pushed for
two to eight seconds.
3. Release the reset button, and the
oil change indicator light will go off.
NOTE:
If the engine oil is changed before the
oil change indicator light comes on (i.e.
before the periodic oil change interval
has been reached), the indicator light
must be reset after the oil change for
the next periodic oil change to be indi-
cated at the correct time. To reset the
oil change indicator light before the pe-
riodic oil change interval has been
reached, follow the above procedure,
but note that the indicator light will
come on for 1.4 seconds after releasing
the reset button, otherwise repeat the
procedure.

Chain drive oil
The chain drive oil should be changed
as follows at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.
1. Remove panel F. (See page 6-6.)
2. Place an oil pan under the chain
drive case to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the oil filler cap and drain
bolt to drain the oil from the chain
drive case.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU20122
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
NOTE:
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Remove the coolant reservoir cov-
er by removing the screw.

NOTE:
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, open the res-
ervoir cap, add coolant to the max-
imum level mark, and then close
the reservoir cap.
CAUTION:
ECA10470
If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the engine may not be
sufficiently cooled and the cool-

If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,
otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
WARNING
EWA10380
Never attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine is hot.
5. Install the coolant reservoir cover
by installing the screw.
NOTE:
The radiator fan is automatically
switched on or off according to the
coolant temperature in the radia-
tor.
If the engine overheats, see page
6-32 for further instructions.

Cleaning the air filter element
The air filter element should be cleaned
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Clean the air filter element more fre-
quently if you are riding in unusually
wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove cowling A. (See
page 6-6.)
2. Remove the windshield by remov-
ing the screws.
3. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws, and then pull
the air filter element out.4. Lightly tap the air filter element to
remove most of the dust and dirt,
and then blow the remaining dirt
out with compressed air as shown.

Make sure that the air filter ele-
ment is properly seated in the
air filter case.
The engine should never be op-
erated without the air filter ele-
ment installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
6. Install the air filter case cover by in-
stalling the screws.
7. Install the windshield and the cowl-
ing.

Adjusting the engine idling
speed
The engine idling speed must be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
The engine should be warm before
making this adjustment.
NOTE:
The engine is warm when it quickly re-
sponds to the throttle.
1. Remove panel B. (See page 6-6.)
2. Check the engine idling speed
and, if necessary, adjust it to spec-
ification by turning the idle adjust-
ing screw. To increase the engine
idling speed, turn the screw in di-
rection (a). To decrease the en-
gine idling speed, turn the screw in
direction (b).
NOTE:
If the specified idling speed cannot be
obtained as described above, have a
Yamaha dealer make the adjustment.
3. Install the panel.
