MAINTENANCE AFTER BREAK-IN
After a break-in, perform careful maintenance
to get ready for the next practice or race.
Refer to “PRE-OPERATION INSPECTION
AND MAINTENANCE” on page 3-9.
EAS2GC1056MAJOR MAINTENANCE
1. For the engine• Leaks around the engineCheck for pressure l eaks from the cylinder
head or the cylinder, oil leaks from the
crankcase or the case cover, leaks from the
coolant system, and other leaks.
• Check that the valve, the cylinder head, the cylinder, the piston, and the piston ring fit
one another, and that contact between the
valve and the cylinder head, and that be-
tween the cylinder and the piston are cor-
rect.
• Engine oil change Drain the oil, and check for dirt and foreign
materials such as metal chips. (If any foreign
material is mixed, disassemble and check
the crankcase.)
Pour the specified amount of the recom-
mended oil.
• AC magneto
Check for looseness in mounted areas of
the rotor and the stator.
Check that the connector is not being dis-
connected.
• Silencer Check the main body and stay for cracks.
Check for leaks.
• Mounting bolts and nuts Check for looseness in mounted areas of
parts, as well as engine mounting bolts and
engine brackets.
2. For the chassis
• Check welds and mounted areas of the frame, the swingarm, the link, the bracket,
and so on, for looseness and cracks.
• Wheel (s) Check the wheel for runout. Check the
spoke for looseness.
• Brake(s) Check the brake disc mounting bolt for
looseness.
Check that the reservoir contains the speci-
fied amount of brake fluid. Check for leaks. • Cable
Grease and adjust cables.
•Drive chain
Lubricate the drive chain and adjust its ten-
sion.
• Fuel tank
Clean the inside of the fuel tank. Check for
leaks.
• Suspension
Check for oil leaks in the front fork or the rear
shock absorber. Check that the mounted
conditions are good.
• Sprocket Check for looseness in the sprocket mount-
ed on the rear wheel.
• Mounting bolts and nuts
Check mounted areas for looseness.
ECA
NOTICE
After a break-in or before each race, always
check the points shown in “TORQUE-
CHECK POINTS” for tightening torques and
retighten them. (Refer to “TORQUE-CHECK
POINTS” on page 1-32.)
• Greasing and oilingAlways grease or oil the specified points.

e. Remove the spark plug cap from the spark plug, and then install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap. WARNING! To prevent
damage or injury from sparking, make
sure to ground the spark plug electrodes
while turning the engine over.

4. Lubricate all control cables and the pivoting points of all levers and pedals as well as of
the sidestand/ centerstand.
5. Check and, if necessary, correct the tire air
pressure, and then lift the motorcycle so that
both of its wheels are off the ground. Alter-
natively, turn the wheels a little every month
in order to prevent the tires from becoming
degraded in one spot.
6. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to
prevent moisture from entering it.
7. Remove the battery and fully charge it. Store it in a cool, dry place and charge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in an exces-
sively cold or warm place [less than 0 °C (30
°F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)]. For more in-
formation on storing the battery, See page
9-69.
TIP
Make any necessary repairs before storing the
motorcycle.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
EAS2GC1075INTRODUCTION
This chapter includes all information necessary to perform recommended checks and adjustments.
If followed, these preventive maintenance procedures will ensure more reliable vehicle operation, a
longer service life and reduce the need for costly ov erhaul work. This information applies to vehicles
already in service as well as to new vehicles that are being prepared for sale. All service technicians
should be familiar with this entire chapter.

TIP
• The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
• Hydraulic brake service• After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid levels and f ill the reservoirs as required.
• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and
change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

EAS2GC1078MAINTENANCE INTERVALS FOR COMPETITION USE
TIP
• 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 re-
quired maintenance and lubrication intervals. If you ar e a doubt as to what intervals to follow in
maintaining and lubricating your ma chine, consult your Yamaha dealer.
• Periodic inspection is essential in making full use of the machine performance. The service life of
the parts varies substantially according to the en vironment in which the machine runs (e.g., rain,
dirt, etc.). Therefore, earlier inspection is required by reference to the list below.
