Speed limiter Your motorcycle was delivered with an
adjustable speed limiter. The speed
limiter keeps the throttle from fully
opening, even when the throttle grip is
turned to the maximum.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the maximum engine
power available and the maximum
speed of the motorcycle, turn the
adjusting screw in direction (a). To
decrease the maximum engine
power available and the maximum
speed of the motorcycle, turn the
adjusting screw in direction (b).
3. Tighten the locknut.
WARNING
EWA14401
Improper adjustment of the speed
limiter could cause improper throttle
operation. You could lose control,
have an accident or be injured. Do
not turn the adjusting screw out
more than 25 mm (0.98 in). Always
make sure the throttle cable free
play is adjusted to 3.0–5.0 mm (0.12–0.20 in). (See page 6-11.)

Fuel tank cap To remove the fuel tank cap, turn it
counterclockwise, and then pull it off.
To install the fuel tank cap, insert it into
the tank opening, and then turn it clock-
wise.
WARNING
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13212
Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, followthese instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up,
heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.
[ECA10071]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15151
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor immedi-

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.TIPA diagnostic tachometer is needed tomake 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.TIPThe engine is warm when it quickly re-sponds to the throttle.
3. Check the engine idling speed
and, if necessary, adjust it to spec-
ification by turning the throttle stop
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).
TIPIf the specified idling speed cannot be
obtained as described above, have aYamaha dealer make the adjustment.

Adjusting the throttle cable
free play The throttle cable free play should mea-
sure 3.0–5.0 mm (0.12–0.20 in) at the
throttle grip. Periodically check the
throttle cable free play and, if neces-
sary, adjust it as follows.TIPThe engine idling speed must be cor-
rectly adjusted before checking and ad-justing the throttle cable free play.

Valve clearance The valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper air-fuel mixture
and/or engine noise. To prevent this
from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
EAU39821
Tires To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points
regarding the specified tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted before each
ride.
WARNING
EWA14381
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or death from loss of
control.
The tire air pressure must be
checked and adjusted on cold
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the ambient
temperature).
The tire air pressure must be ad-
justed in accordance with the
weight of the rider, the riding
speed, and the riding condi-tions.

Spoke wheels To maximize the performance, durabil-
ity, and safe operation of your motor-
cycle, note the following points
regarding the specified wheels.
The wheel rims should be checked
for cracks, bends or warpage, and
the spokes for looseness or dam-
age before each ride. If any dam-
age is found, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair to
the wheel. A deformed or cracked
wheel must be replaced.
The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced. An
unbalanced wheel can result in
poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics, and a short-
ened tire life.
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be “broken in” for it
to develop its optimal characteris-
tics.

Adjusting the clutch free play The clutch free play must be checked
and, if necessary, adjusted as follows
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.

3. Slowly turn the clutch adjusting
screw in direction (a) until resis-
tance is felt, and then turn it 1/8
