Checkin g the spark plu g
The spark plug is an important engine
component, which is easy to check.
Since heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly erode, the spark
plug should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart. In addi-
tion, the condition of the spark plug
can reveal the condition of the engine.
To remove the spark plu g
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Remove the spark plug as shown, with the spark plug wrench includ-
ed in the owner’s tool kit. To check the spark plu
g
1. Check that the porcelain insulator around the center electrode of the
spark plug is a medium-to-light
tan (the ideal color when the vehi-
cle is ridden normally).
TIP
If the spark plug shows a distinctly dif-
ferent color, the engine could be oper-
ating improperly. Do not attempt to
diagnose such problems yourself. In-
stead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electrodeerosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.
3. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifi-
cation.

7 To install the spark plu
g
1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket and its mating surfa-
ce, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
2. Install the spark plug with the spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing 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
specified torque as soon as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
EAU39848
Engine oil
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level surface and hold it in an upright
position. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, remove the engine oil filler
cap, wipe the engine oil dipstick
clean, insert it back into the oil filler
hole (without screwing it in), and
then remove it again to check the
oil level.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
tip of the dipstick and the maximum
level mark.

4. If the engine oil is not between the
tip of the dipstick and the maxi-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
5. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace it if necessary.
6. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
To chan ge the en gine oil
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, the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
4. Install a new gasket and the drain bolt, and then tighten the drain
bolt to the specified torque.
5. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil.
NOTICE
ECA11621
In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the en gine oil also
lu bricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a hi gh-
er quality than specified . In
a dd ition, do not use oils la bele d
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
 Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
6. Check the O-ring for damage, and replace it if necessary.
7. Install and tighten the engine oil filler cap.
8. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.

Adjustin g the car buretor
The carburetor is an important part of
the engine and requires very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Therefore, most
carburetor adjustments should be left
to a Yamaha dealer, who has the nec-
essary professional knowledge and ex-
perience. The adjustment described in
the following section, however, may be
serviced by the owner as part of rou-
tine maintenance.
NOTICE
ECA10551
The car buretor has b een set and ex-
tensively teste d at the Yamaha fac-
tory. Chan gin g these settin gs
without sufficient technical knowl-
e dge may result in poor perfor-
mance of or d amage to the en gine.

spee d
The engine idling speed must be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted as
follows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
TIP
A diagnostic tachometer is needed to
make this adjustment.
1. Attach the tachometer to the
spark plug lead.
2. Start the engine and warm it up for several minutes at 1000–2000
r/min while occasionally revving it
to 4000–5000 r/min.
TIP
The engine is warm when it quickly re-
sponds to the throttle.
3. Check the engine idling speedand, if necessary, adjust it to
specification by turning the throt-
tle stop screw. To increase the en-
gine idling speed, turn the screw in
direction (a). To decrease the en-
gine idling speed, turn the screw in
direction (b).
TIP
If the specified idling speed cannot be
obtained as described above, have a
Yamaha dealer make the adjustment.

Measure the throttle grip free play as
shown.
Periodically check the throttle grip free
play and, if necessary, have a Yamaha
dealer adjust it.
EAU21403
Valve clearance
The valves are an important engine
component, and since valve clearance
changes with use, they must be
checked and adjusted at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
chart. Unadjusted valves can result in
improper air-fuel mixture, engine
noise, and eventually engine damage.
To prevent this from occurring, have
your Yamaha dealer check and adjust
the valve clearance at regular intervals.
TIP
This service must be performed when
the engine is cold.1. Throttle grip free play
