MAINTENANCE INTERVALS
The following schedule is intended as a general guide to maintenance and lubrication. Bear in mind
that such factors as weather, terrain, geographical location, and individual usage will alter the
required maintenance and lubrication intervals. If you are a doubt as to what intervals to follow in
maintaining and lubricating your machine, consult your Yamaha dealer.
NOTE:
From 18 months or 210 hours, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 6 months or
90 hours.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special
