Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn 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 crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU36532
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5100
r/min . NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA11283]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6100
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

Parking
When parking, turn the vehicle power
off and then the smart key off.
When leaving the vehicle, make sure
you apply the steering lock and center-
stand lock. Take the smart key with
you. It is recommended that you turn
the smart key off.
WARNING
EWA10312
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them and be burned.
Do not park on a slope or on soft
ground, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasing the
risk of a fuel leak and fire.
Do not park near grass or other
flammable materials which
might catch fire.
TIP
Even when the vehicle is parked in a lo-
cation partitioned by a fence or the
glass window of a shop, if the smart key
is within operating range, other people
will be able to start the engine and op-
erate the vehicle. Please turn the smart
key off when leaving the vehicle. (See
page 3-5.)

Periodic maintenance and adjustment
EAU17246
Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lu-
brication will keep your vehicle in the
safest and most efficient condition pos-
sible. Safety is an obl igation of the vehi-
cle owner/operator. The most important
points of vehicle inspection, adjust-
ment, and lubrication are explained on
the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
maintenance charts should be simply
considered as a general guide under
normal riding conditions. However, de-
pending on the weather, terrain, geo-
graphical location, and individual use,
the maintenance intervals may need to
be shortened.
WARNING
EWA10322
Failure to properly maintain the ve-
hicle or performing maintenance ac-
tivities incorrectly may increase
your risk of injury or death during
service or while using the vehicle. If
you are not familiar with vehicle ser-
vice, have a Yamaha dealer perform
service.
WARNING
EWA15123
Turn off the engine when performing
maintenance unless otherwise
specified.
A running engine has moving
parts that can catch on body
parts or clothing and electrical
parts that can cause shocks or
fires.
Running the engine while ser-
vicing can lead to eye injury,
burns, fire, or carbon monoxide
poisoning – possibly leading to death. See page 1-2 for more in-
formation about carbon monox-
ide.
WARNING
EWA15461
Brake discs, calipers, drums, and
linings can become very hot during
use. To avoid possible burns, let
brake components cool before
touching them.

Emission controls not only function to
ensure cleaner air, but are also vital to
proper engine operation and maximum
performance. In the following periodic
maintenance charts, the services relat-
ed to emissions control are grouped
separately. These services require
specialized data, knowledge, and
equipment. Maintenance, replacement,
or repair of the emission control devic-
es and systems may be performed by
any repair establishment or individual
that is certified (if applicable). Yamaha
dealers are trained and equipped to
perform these particular services.
EAU79580
Owner’s tool kit
The owner’s tool kit is located under the
seat. (See page 3-10.)
The service information included in this
manual and the tools provided in the
owner’s tool kit are intended to assist
you in the performance of preventive
maintenance and minor repairs. How-
ever, additional tools such as a torque
wrench may be necessary to perform
certain maintenance work correctly.
TIP
If you do not have the tools or experi-
ence required for a particular job, have
a Yamaha dealer perform it for you.

TIP
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a distance-
based maintenance is performed instead.
From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from
10000 km (6000 mi).
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as
they require special tools, data and technical skills.

TIP
Engine air filter and V-belt air filters This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with compressed air to avoid damaging
it.
The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter el- ements need to be serviced more frequent ly when riding in unusually wet or
dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs
as required.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylin- ders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
25 * Cooling system Check coolant level and vehicle
for coolant leakage. 
Change. Every 3 years
