NOTICE
ECA21573
The smart key has precision elec-
tronic components. Observe the fol-
lowing precautions to prevent
possible malfunction or damage.
Do not place or store the smart
key in a storage compartment.
The smart key may be damaged
from road vibrations or exces-
sive heat.
Do not drop, bend, or subject
the smart key to strong impacts.
Do not submerge the smart key
in water or other liquids.
Do not place heavy items or ex-
cessive stress on the smart key.
Do not leave the smart key in a
place exposed to direct sun-
light, high temperature or high
humidity.
Do not grind or attempt to mod-
ify the smart key.
Keep the smart key away from
strong magnetic fields and mag-
netic objects such as key hold-
ers, TVs, and computers.
Keep the smart key away from
electric medical equipment.
Do not allow oils, polishing
agents, fuel, or any strong chemicals to come in contact
with the smart key. The smart
key body may become discol-
ored or cracked.
TIP
The smart key battery life is ap-
proximately two years, but this
may vary according to operating
conditions.
The smart key battery may be-
come discharged even if it is away
from the vehicle and not being
used.
If the smart key continually re-
ceives radio waves, the smart key
battery will discharge quickly. (For
example, when placed in the vicin-
ity of electrical products such as
televisions, radios, or computers.)
Replace the smart key battery when
the smart key system indicator light
flashes for about 20 seconds when the
vehicle is first power on, or when the
smart key indicator light does not come
on when the “ON/OFF” switch is
pushed. (See page 3-6.) After changing
the smart key battery, if the smart key
system still does not operate, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIP
You can register up to six smart
keys for the same vehicle. See a
Yamaha dealer regarding spare
smart keys.
If a smart key is lost, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately to
prevent the vehicle from being sto-
len.

For your safety – pre-operation checks
EAU63440
Inspect your vehicle each time you use it to make sure the vehicle is in safe oper-
ating condition. Always follow the in spection and maintenance procedures and
schedules described in the Owner’s Manual.
WARNING
EWA11152

of an accident or equipment damage. Do not operate the vehicle if you find
any problem. If a problem cannot be corrected by the procedures provided
in this manual, have the vehicle inspected by a Yamaha dealer.
Before using this vehicle, check the following points:
ITEM CHECKSPAGE

Refuel if necessary.
Check fuel line for leakage.
Check fuel tank breather hose and overflow hose for
obstructions, cracks or damage, and check hose
connections. 5-21,
5-22
Engine oil Check oil level in engine.
If necessary, add recommended oil to specified level.
Check vehicle for oil leakage. 8-10
Coolant Check coolant level in reservoir.
If necessary, add recommended coolant to specified
level.
Check cooling system for leakage. 8-13
Front brake Check operation.
If soft or spongy, have Yamaha dealer bleed hydraulic
system.

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.

TIP
Air filters
The engine air filter uses a disposable oil-coated paper element. This element
cannot be cleaned with compressed air, doing so will only damage it.
If you often ride in the rain or in dusty areas, have the engine air filter and
V-belt air filter elements serviced more frequently.
Hydraulic brake service
Regularly check the brake fluid levels in the reservoirs, and refill as necessary.
Replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers,
and change the brake fluid every 2 years.
Replace the brake hoses every 4 years, or sooner if cracked or damaged.
25 * Cooling system Check coolant level and vehicle
for coolant leakage. 
Change. Every 3 years

Canister
This model is equipped with a canister
to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere. Before operating
this vehicle, make sure to check the fol-
lowing:
Check each hose connection.
Check each hose and canister for
cracks or damage. Replace if dam-
aged.
Make sure that the canister breath-
er is not blocked, and if necessary,
clean it.
EAU77363
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. 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.
TIP
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.

Skip steps 6–8 if the oil filter cartridge is
not being replaced. 6. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.
TIP
An oil filter wrench is available at a
Yamaha dealer.
7. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter
cartridge.
