Tips for reducing fuel
consumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.

Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.

Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU17023
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
1/3 throttle. NOTICE: After 1000 km
(600 mi) of operation, the engine oil
must be changed, and the oil filter
cartridge or element replaced.
[ECA11282]

1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above1/2 throttle.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10270
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealercheck the vehicle.

Engine oil and oil filter
element The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-right side of the
crankcase.TIPThe engine oil should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment)
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engineto collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 5–8 if the oil filter element isnot being replaced.
5. Remove the oil filter element cover
by removing the bolts.

O-rings.
7. Install a new oil filter element and
new O-rings.
TIPMake sure that the O-rings are properlyseated.
8. Install the oil filter element cover by
installing the bolts, then tightening
them to the specified torque.
9. Install the engine oil drain bolt and
its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
10. Refill with the specified amount of
the recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.
TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-tem have cooled down.NOTICE


In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.

Make sure that no foreign mate-rial enters the crankcase.

remaining solvent out. WARNING!
Use only a dedicated parts
cleaning solvent. To avoid the
risk of fire or explosion, do not
use gasoline or solvents with a
low flash point.

NOTICE:
To avoid damaging the foam
material, handle it gently and
carefully, and do not twist or
wring it.

5. Apply oil of the recommended type
to the entire surface of the sponge
material, and then squeeze the ex-
cess oil out.
TIPThe sponge material should be wet butnot dripping.
6. Pull the sponge material over the
air filter element frame.
7. Insert the air filter element into the
air filter case. NOTICE: Make sure
that the air filter element is prop-
erly seated in the air filter case.
The engine should never be op-erated without the air filter ele-
ment installed, otherwise the
piston(s) and/or cylinder(s) may
become excessively worn.
[ECA10481]

8. Place the holding clip in the origi-
nal position.
9. Close the air filter case cover, and
then install the screw.
10. Install the panel.
To clean the air filter check hose
1. Check the hose at the bottom of
the air filter case for accumulated
dirt or water.
2. If dirt or water is visible, remove
the hose, clean it, and then install
it.
