TIP
The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service
• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the bra- ke fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Checking the spark plug
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 maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plug can reveal the condition of
the engine.
To remove the spark plug1. Remove panel A. (See page 6-8).
2. Remove the spark plug cap.

3. Remove the spark plug asshown, using the spark plug
wrench, which is located in the
storage compartment. (See page
6-1).
1. Spark plug wrench
To check the spark plug1. Check that the porcelain insula- tor around the center electrode of
the spark plug is a medium-to-
light tan (the ideal color when the
vehicle is ridden normally).
TIP
If the spark plug shows a distinctly
different color, the engine could be
operating improperly. Do not attempt
to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.
2. Check the spark plug for electro-
de erosion and excessive carbon
or other deposits, and replace it if
necessary.
To install the spark plug 1. Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjust the gap to spe-
cification.
1. Spark plug gap
2. Clean the surface of the sparkplug gasket and its mating surfa-
ce, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the spark plug wrench, and then
tighten 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. Howe-
ver, the spark plug should be tighte-
ned to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Install the panel.
Tightening torque:Spark plug: 22.5 Nm (2.2 m•kgf, 16.3 ft•lbf)
Spark plug gap:0.6–0.7 mm (0.024–0.028 in)

Specified spark plug:NGK / BR9 ES

Transmission oil
The transmission oil level should be
checked before each ride. In addition,
the oil must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To check the transmission oil level
1. Transmission oil filler cap
2. Transmission oil check bolt
1. Remove cowling A. (See page 6-8).
2. Place the vehicle on a level surfa- ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is positio-
ned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result
in a false reading.
3. Remove the oil check bolt, andthen check the oil level.
TIP
The oil should be at the brim of the
check hole.
4. If the oil is below the brim of thecheck hole, remove the oil filler
cap, add sufficient oil of the
recommended type to raise it to
the correct level, and then install
the oil filler cap.
5. Install the oil check bolt, and then tighten it to the specified torque. To change the transmission oil
1. Transmission oil check bolt
2. Transmission oil drain bolt
3. Washer
1. Place an oil pan under the trans-
mission oil case to collect the
used oil.
2. Remove the drain bolt and the oil check bolt to drain the oil.
3. Install the drain bolt and the check bolt, and then tighten them
to the specified torques.
Tightening torque:Oil check bolt: 6 Nm (0.6 m•kgf, 4.3 ft•lbf)
