Brake light switches
1. Rear brake light switch adjusting nut
2. Brake light switch
The brake light, which is activated by
the brake pedal and brake lever,
should come on just before braking
takes effect. If necessary, adjust the
rear brake light switch as follows, but
the front brake light switch should be
adjusted by a Yamaha dealer.
Turn the rear brake light switch adjus-
ting nut while holding the rear brake
light switch in place. To make the bra-
ke light come on earlier, turn the
adjusting nut in direction (a). To make
the brake light come on later, turn the
adjusting nut in direction (b).
EAU22392
Checking the front and rear
brake pads
The front and rear brake pads must
be checked for wear at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU22430
Front brake pads
1. Brake pad wear indicator groove
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicator grooves, which allow
you to check the brake pad wear wit-
hout having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator grooves. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the
wear indicator grooves have almostdisappeared, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the brake pads as a set.
EAU22480
Rear brake pads
Each rear brake pad is provided with
a wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear wit-
hout having to disassemble the brake.
Check the brake pad wear as follows.
1. Remove the brake caliper bolt, and then tilt the caliper forward to
inspect the wear indicator groo-
ve. If a brake pad has worn to the
point that the wear indicator gro-
ove has almost disappeared,
have a Yamaha dealer replace
the brake pads as a set.

3. Insert a new bulb into the socket, push it in, and then turn it clock-
wise until it stops.
4. Install the lens by installing the screws. NOTICE: Do not over-
tighten the screws, otherwise

light bulb
ECA10670
It is advisable to have a Yamaha
dealer perform this job.
1. Remove the socket (together
with the bulb) by turning it coun-
terclockwise for the right turn sig-
nal and turning it clockwise for
the left turn signal.
1. Turn signal light bulb socket

water, diluted mild detergent
with water may be used. Be
sure to rinse off any detergent
residue using plenty of water,
as it is harmful to plastic parts.
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts. Be
sure to avoid using cloths or
sponges which have been in
contact with strong or abrasive
cleaning products, solvent or
thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust
removers or inhibitors, brake
fluid, antifreeze or electrolyte.
Do not use high-pressure was-
hers or steam-jet cleaners sin-
ce they cause water seepage
and deterioration in the follo-
wing areas: seals (of wheel and
swingarm bearings, fork and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
For motorcycles equipped with
a windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or scrat-
ching. Some cleaning com-pounds for plastic may leave
scratches on the windshield.
Test the product on a small hid-
den part of the windshield to
make sure that it does not lea-
ve any marks. If the windshield
is scratched, use a quality
plastic polishing compound
after washing.
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild
detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,
and then rinse thoroughly with clean
water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush
for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt
and insects will come off more easily if
the area is covered with a wet cloth for
a few minutes before cleaning.
After riding in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on
roads during winter are extremely
corrosive in combination with water,
carry out the following steps after
each ride in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads.
TIP
Salt sprayed on roads in the winter
may remain well into spring.
1. Clean the motorcycle with cold
water and a mild detergent, after
the engine has cooled down.
NOTICE: Do not use warm
water since it increases the
corrosive action of the salt.
[ECA10791]
2. Apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including
chrome- and nickel-plated, surfa-
ces to prevent corrosion.
After cleaning 1. Dry the motorcycle with a cha- mois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive chain and lubricate it to prevent it from
rusting.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally indu-
ced discoloring of stainless-steel
exhaust systems can be removed
through polishing.)

4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal, inclu-
ding chrome- and nickel-plated,
surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal clea- ner to remove any remaining dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry comple- tely before storing or covering it.
EWA11131
Contaminants on the brakes or
tires can cause loss of control.
Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires.
If necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild
detergent. Before riding at hig-
her speeds, test the motorcy-
cle’s braking performance and
cornering behavior.
ECA10800
Apply spray oil and wax spa-
ringly and make sure to wipe
off any excess.
Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
TIP
Consult a Yamaha dealer for
advice on what products to use.
Washing, rainy weather or humid
climates can cause the headlight
lens to fog. Turning the headlight
on for a short period of time will
help remove the moisture from
the lens.
EAU37222
Storage
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a
cool, dry place and, if necessary, pro-
tect it against dust with a porous
cover. Be sure the engine and the
exhaust system are cool before cove-
ring the motorcycle.
ECA10810
Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cove-
ring it with a tarp, while it is still
wet, will allow water and humi-
dity to seep in and cause rust.
To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for
several months:1. Follow all the instructions in the “Care” section of this chapter.
