Air filter elementThe air filter element must be replaced
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
Have a Yamaha dealer replace the air
filter element.

Checking the engine idling
speedCheck the engine idling speed and, if
necessary, have it corrected by a
Yamaha dealer.

Valve clearanceThe valves are an important engine
component, and since valve clearance
changes with use, they must be
checked and adjusted at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
chart. Unadjusted valves can result in
improper air-fuel mixture, engine noise,
and eventually engine damage. To pre-
vent this from occurring, have your
Yamaha dealer check and adjust the
valve clearance at regular intervals.TIPThis service must be performed whenthe engine is cold.
Engine idling speed: 1200–1400 r/min

Drive chain slackThe drive chain slack should be
checked before each ride and adjusted
if necessary.
EAU97540
To check the drive chain slack 1. Place the motorcycle on the sides- tand.TIPWhen checking and adjusting the drive
chain slack, there should be no weighton the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position.
3. Find the center point of the chain (position B) by measuring (approx.
53 mm (2.09 in)) forward from the
edge of the drive chain guard as
shown. 4. Push down on the center of the
drive chain and measure the dis-
tance A from the drive chain guard
to the middle of the chain link being
pressed down at position B. 5. If distance A is incorrect, adjust it
as follows. NOTICE: Improper
drive chain slack will overload
the engine as well as other vital
parts of the motorcycle and can
lead to chain slippage or break-
age. If distance A is more than
55.0 mm (2.17 in), the chain can
damage the frame, swingarm,
and other parts. To prevent this
from occurring, keep the drive
chain slack within the specified
limits.
[ECA23070]
EAU74260
To adjust the drive chain slack
Consult a Yamaha dealer before ad-
justing the drive chain slack.1. Loosen the axle nut and the lock- nut on each side of the swingarm.

Cleaning and l ubricating the
drive chainThe drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart, otherwise it will quickly wear
out, especially when riding in dusty or
wet areas. Service the drive chain as
follows.NOTICE
ECA10584
The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the motorcycle, ridingin the rain or riding in wet areas.
1. Clean the drive chain with a drive chain cleaner and a small soft
brush. NOTICE: To prevent dam-
aging the O-rings, do not clean
the drive chain with steam
cleaners, high-pressure wash-
ers or inappropriate sol-
vents.
[ECA11122]
2. Wipe the drive chain dry.
3. Thoroughly lubricate the drive chain with a special O-ring chain
lubricant. NOTICE: Do not use
engine oil or any other lubri- cants for the drive chain, as they
may contain substances that
could damage the O-rings.
[ECA11112]
EAU23098
Checking and lubricating the
cablesThe operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer
housing of cables may result in in-
ternal rusting and cause interfer-
ence with cable movement. Replace
damaged cables as soon as possi-
ble to prevent unsafe condi-
tions.
[EWA10712]
Recommended lubricant:
Yamaha cable lubricant or other suit-
able cable lubricant

Checking the steeringWorn or loose steering bearings may
cause danger. Therefore, the operation
of the steering must be checked as fol-
lows at the intervals specified in the pe-
riodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. 1. Raise the front wheel off the ground. (See page 7-34.)
WARNING! To avoid injury, se-
curely support the vehicle so
there is no danger of it falling
over.
[EWA10752]
2. Hold the lower ends of the frontfork legs and try to move them for-
ward and backward. If any free
play can be felt, have a Yamaha
dealer check or repair the steering.
EAU23292
Checking the w heel bearingsThe front and rear wheel bearings must
be checked at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. If there is play in the wheel
hub or if the wheel does not turn
smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the wheel bearings.

Engine overheating
WARNING
EWAT1041

Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-
tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the capwhile turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
TIPIf coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily us ed instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolantas soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See TIP.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.

nance.
2. Follow all instructions in the Care section of this chapter.
3. Fill up the fuel tank, adding fuel stabilizer according to product in-
structions. Run the engine for 5
minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system.
4. For vehicles equipped with a fuel cock: Turn the fuel cock lever to
the off position.
5. For vehicles with a carburetor: To prevent fuel deposits from building
up, drain the fuel in the carburetor
float chamber into a clean contain-
er. Retighten the drain bolt and
pour the fuel back into the fuel
tank.
6. Use a quality engine fogging oil ac- cording to product instructions to
protect internal engine compo-
nents from corrosion. If engine fog-
ging oil is not available, perform
the following steps for each cylin-
der:
a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark-
ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter. (This will
coat the cylinder wall with oil.)
WARNING! To prevent dam-
age or injury from sparking,
make sure to ground the
spark plug electrodes while
turning the engine
over.
[EWA10952]
e. Remove the spark plug capfrom the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
7. Lubricate all control cables, pivots, levers and pedals, as well as the
sidestand and centerstand (if
equipped).
8. Check and correct the tire air pres- sure, and then lift the vehicle so
that all wheels are off the ground.
Otherwise, turn the wheels a little
once a month in order to prevent the tires from becoming degraded
in one spot.
9. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering it.
10. Remove the battery and fully charge it, or attach a maintenance
charger to keep the battery opti-
mally charged. NOTICE: Confirm
that the battery and its charger
are compatible. Do not charge a
VRLA battery with a convention-
al charger.
[ECA26330]
TIP
If the battery will be removed,
charge it once a month and store it
in a temperate location between
0-30 C (32-90 F).

tion on charging and storing thebattery.
