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 following 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 them-
selves to the correct operating clea-
rances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAUM2011
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
●Avoid prolonged operation above
1/3 throttle. NOTICE:After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, be
sure to replace the engine oil
and final transmission oil.
[ECA11661]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)

Battery
This model is equipped with a VRLA
(Valve Regulated Lead Acid) battery.
There is no need to check the elec-
trolyte or to add distilled water. Howe-
ver, the battery coupler connection
needs to be checked to make sure
that it is securely connected.
EWA10760
s s
WARNING
●Electrolyte is poisonous and
dangerous since it contains
sulfuric acid, which causes
severe burns. Avoid any con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing
and always shield your eyes
when working near batteries.
In case of contact, administer
the following FIRST AID.
• EXTERNAL: Flush with plenty
of water.
• INTERNAL: Drink large quan-
tities of water or milk and
immediately call a physician.
• EYES: Flush with water for 15
minutes and seek prompt
medical attention.
●Batteries produce explosive
hydrogen gas. Therefore, keep
sparks, flames, cigarettes, etc.,
away from the battery and pro-
vide sufficient ventilation when
charging it in an enclosed spa-
ce.
●KEEP THIS AND ALL BATTE-
RIES OUT OF THE REACH OF
CHILDREN.
To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the
battery as soon as possible if it seems
to have discharged. Keep in mind that
the battery tends to discharge more
quickly if the vehicle is equipped with
optional electrical accessories.
ECA16520
NOTICE
To charge a VRLA (Valve Regulated
Lead Acid) battery, a special (cons-
tant-voltage) battery charger is
required. Using a conventional bat-
tery charger will damage the bat-
tery. If you do not have access to a
constant-voltage battery charger,
have a Yamaha dealer charge your
battery.
To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove
the battery, fully charge it, and
then place it in a cool, dry place.
NOTICE:When removing the
battery, be sure the key is tur-
ned to “OFF” before discon-
necting the couplers.
