9Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to
deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements).
Any damage, fluid leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important
that, in addition to a thorough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

EAU00685Wheels
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
1. Always inspect the wheels
before a ride. Check for cracks,
bends or warpage of the
wheel. Be sure the spokes are
tight and undamaged. If any
abnormal condition exists in a
wheel, consult a Yamaha deal-
er. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel
is deformed or cracked, it must
be replaced.
2. Tires and wheels should be
balanced whenever either one
is changed or replaced. Failure
to have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteris-
tics, and shortened tire life.3. Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be broken in
for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.
EAU00680
w
1. It is dangerous to ride with a
worn-out tire. When a tire
tread begins to show lines,
have a Yamaha dealer replace
the tire immediately. Brakes,
tires, and related wheel parts
replacement should also be
left to a Yamaha dealer.
2. Patching a punctured tube is
not recommended. If it is
absolutely necessary to do so,
use great care and replace the
tube as soon as possible with
a good quality replacement.

be checked whenever the
chain is adjusted or the rear
wheel is removed and then
reinstalled.
8Check the operation of the
brake light after adjusting the
rear brake.
8If it is impossible to make
proper adjustment, consult a
Yamaha dealer.
2. Free play
The rear brake pedal free play
should be adjusted to 20 ~ 30
mm at the brake pedal end.
Turn the adjusting nut on the
brake rod in direction ato
increase free play or in direc-
tion bto decrease free play.

EAU00744Drive chain slack check
NOTE:
Spin the wheel several times and
find the tightest position of the
chain. Check and/or adjust the
chain slack while it’s in this tightest
position.
EAU00719
Checking the brake shoes
A wear indicator is provided on
each brake. This indicator allows
inspection of shoe wear without
disassembling the brake. Apply the
brake and inspect the position of
the indicator. If the indicator reach-
es to the wear limit line, ask a
Yamaha dealer to replace the
shoes.

9 To check the chain slack the motor-
cycle must be held straight up with
both wheels on the ground and
without rider. Check the slack at
the position shown in the illustra-
tion. Normal slack is approximately
30 ~ 40 mm. If the slack exceeds 40
mm, adjust.

Drive chain slack adjustment
1. Loosen the rear brake adjust-
ing nut.
2. Remove the cotter pin from
the axle nut.
3. Loosen the axle nut.
4. Turn both left and right chain
adjusting plates the same
amount. Make sure that they
are in the same position for
proper wheel alignment.

Too little chain slack will overload
the engine and other vital parts.
Keep the slack within the specified
limits.
5. After adjusting, be sure to
tighten the axle nut to the
specified torque.

w
Securely support the motorcycle
so there is no danger of it falling
over.
1. Visual check
Check for scratches or damage
on the inner tube and exces-
sive oil leakage from the front
fork.2. Operation check
Place the motorcycle on a level
place.
a. Hold the motorcycle in an
upright position and apply the
front brake.
b. Push down hard on the han-
dlebars several times and
check if the fork rebounds
smoothly.
EC000098
cC
If any damage or unsmooth move-
ment is found with the front fork,
consult a Yamaha dealer.
EAU00794Steering inspection
Periodically inspect the condition
of the steering. Worn out or loose
steering bearings may be danger-
ous. Place a stand under the
engine to raise the front wheel off
the ground. Hold the lower end of
the front forks and try to move
them forward and backward. If any
free play can be felt, ask a Yamaha
dealer to inspect and adjust the
steering. Inspection is easier if the
front wheel is removed.

If there is play in the front or rear
wheel hub or if the wheel does not
turn smoothly, have a Yamaha
dealer inspect the wheel bearings.

Battery
Check the level of the battery elec-
trolyte and make sure that the ter-
minals are tight.
Fill with distilled water if the elec-
trolyte level is low.
EC000099
cC
When inspecting the battery, be
sure the breather hose is routed
correctly. If the breather hose is
positioned in such a way as to
cause battery electrolyte or gas to
exit onto the frame, structural and
cosmetic damage to the motorcy-
cle can occur.
