Shiftin gThis motorcycle has a 4-speed trans-
mission with a centrifugal, automatic
clutch. Shifting gears lets you control
the amount of engine power available
for starting off, accelerating, climbing
hills, etc.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.TIPTo shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position, press the shift pedal down
repeatedly until it reaches the end of its
travel.

EAU39921
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the first 5
hours of riding. It is also important to
accustom the rider to the motorcycle
during this time. Please read the fol-
lowing information carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
5 hours of operation. 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 overheating
must be avoided. However, momen-
tary full-throttle operation under load
(i.e., two to three seconds maximum)
does not harm the engine. Each full-
throttle acceleration should be fol-
lowed with a substantial rest period for
the engine. To allow the engine to cool
down from the temporary buildup of
heat, cruise at a lower engine speed.
After the first 5 hours of operation,
thoroughly check the motorcycle for
loose parts, oil leakage and any other
problems. Be sure to inspect and make adjustments thoroughly, especially ca-
ble and drive chain slack and loose
spokes. In addition, check all fittings
and fasteners for looseness, and tight-
en if necessary.
NOTICE

If any en
gine trou ble shoul d occur

Periodic inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in the
safest and most efficient condition
possible. Safety is an obligation of the
vehicle owner/operator. The most im-
portant points of vehicle inspection,
adjustment, and lubrication are ex-
plained 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 vehi-
cle or performing maintenance ac-
tivities incorrectly may increase
your risk of injury or death durin g
service or while usin g the vehicle. If
you are not familiar with vehicle ser-
vice, have a Yamaha d ealer perform
service.

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, replace-
ment, or repair of the emission control
devices and systems may be per-
formed by any repair establishment or
individual that is certified (if applicable).
Yamaha dealers are trained and equipped to perform these particular
services.
