5. Remove the air filter case cover by
removing the screws.
6. Pull out the air filter.7. Tap the air filter lightly to remove
most of the dust and dirt. Blow out
the remaining dirt with com-
pressed air as shown. If the air fil-

without the air filter installed.
Excessive piston and/or cylin-
der wear may result.
EAU00630
Carburetor adjustment
The carburetors are important parts of
the engine and require very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Most adjustments
should be left to a Yamaha dealer who
has the professional knowledge and
experience to do so. However, the idle
speed may be adjusted by the owner
as part of routine maintenance.
EC000095
CAUTION:
The carburetors were set at the
Yamaha factory after many tests. If
they are changed, poor engine per-
formance and damage may result.

a. Pedal height
EAU00712
Rear brake pedal height
adjustment
The top of the brake pedal should be
positioned 40 mm below the top of the
footrest. If not, ask a Yamaha dealer to
adjust it.
EW000109
A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the brake system. This air
must be removed by bleeding the
brake system before the motorcycle
is operated. Air in the system will
cause greatly diminished braking
capability and can result in loss of
control and an accident. Have a
Yamaha dealer inspect and bleed
the system if necessary.
1. Brake light switch
2. Adjusting nut
EAU00713
Brake light switch adjustment
The rear brake light switch is activated
by the brake pedal and is properly ad-
justed when the brake light comes on
just before braking takes effect. To ad-
just the rear brake light switch, hold the
switch body so it does not rotate while
turning the adjusting nut. Turn the ad-
justing nut in direction a
to make the
brake light come on earlier. Turn the
adjusting nut in direction b
to make the
brake light come on later.

Battery storage
When the motorcycle is not used for a
month or longer, remove the battery,
fully charge it and store it in a cool, dry
place.
EC000102
CAUTION:
lCompletely recharge the bat-
tery before storing. Storing a
discharged battery can cause
permanent battery damage.
lUse a battery charger designed
for a sealed-type (MF) battery.
Using a conventional battery
charger will cause battery dam-
age. If you do not have a sealed-
type battery charger, contact
your Yamaha dealer.
lAlways make sure the connec-
tions are correct when reinstall-
ing the battery.
1. Fuse box
EAU01470
Fuse replacement
The fuse box is located under the seat.
(See page 3-14 for seat removal and
installation procedures.)
If any fuse is blown, turn off the main
switch and the switch of the circuit in
question. Install a new fuse of specified
amperage. Turn on the switches and
see if the electrical device operates. If
the fuse immediately blows again, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer.
1. Main fuse
2. Ignition fuse
3. Signaling system fuse
4. Headlight fuse
5. Hazard light fuse
6. Spare fuse (´ 3)
EC000103
CAUTION:
Do not use fuses of higher amper-
age rating than those recommend-
ed. Substitution of a fuse of
improper rating can cause extensive
electrical system damage and pos-
sibly a fire.

secure it in place with the bulb
holder.
EC000105
CAUTION:
Avoid touching the glass part of a
bulb. Keep it free from oil; other-

will be adversely affected. If oil gets
on a bulb, thoroughly clean it with a
cloth moistened with alcohol or lac-
quer thinner.4. Install the bulb holder cover and
the headlight connector.
If a headlight beam adjustment is
necessary, ask a Yamaha dealer
to make adjustment.

CAUTION:
lAvoid using strong acidic wheel
cleaners, especially on spoked
wheels. If you do use such
products for hard-to-remove
dirt, do not leave it on any long-
er than instructed, then thor-
oughly rinse it off with water,
immediately dry the area and
apply a corrosion protection
spray.
lImproper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or
sponge with mild detergent and
water to clean plastic.
lDo 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 re-
movers or inhibitors, brake flu-
id, antifreeze or electrolyte.
lDo not use high-pressure wash-
ers or steam-jet cleaners since
they cause water seepage and
deterioration in the following ar-
eas: seals (of wheel bearings,
swingarm bearings, forks and
brakes), electric components
(couplers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
lFor motorcycles equipped with
a windshield: Do not use strong
cleaners or hard sponges as
they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning
compounds for plastic may
leave scratches on the wind-
shield. Test the product on a
small hidden part of the wind-
shield to make sure they do not
leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quali-
ty plastic polishing compound
after washing.
After riding in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads in the winter are extremely corro-
sive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride
in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads. (Salt sprayed in the
winter may remain on the roads well
into spring.)
