Engine oil and oil filter
element
The engine oil level should be chec-
ked before each ride. In addition, the
oil must be changed and the oil filter
element replaced at the intervals spe-
cified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is positio-
ned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result
in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
10–15 minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Remove the oil filler cap, wipe the
dipstick clean, insert it back into
the oil filler hole (without scre-
wing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
TIP
The engine oil tank is located
inside of the frame.
The engine oil should be between
the minimum and maximum level
marks.
1. Engine oil filler cap
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
EWA10361
Never remove the engine oil tank
cap after high-speed operation,
otherwise hot engine oil could
spout out and cause damage or
injury. Always let the engine oil cool
down sufficiently before removing
the oil tank cap.
4. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to rai-
se it to the correct level. NOTICE:
Do not operate the vehicle until
you know that the engine oil
level is sufficient.
[ECA10011]
5. Install the oil filler cap.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element
replacement)
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Remove the engine guard by
removing the screws.

Coolant
The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the coo-
lant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU20253
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position.
TIP
The coolant level must be chec-
ked on a cold engine since the
level varies with engine tempera-
ture.
Make sure that the vehicle is
positioned straight up when
checking the coolant level. A
slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the
coolant reservoir.
TIP
The coolant should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
1. Coolant reservoir
2. Maximum level mark
3. Minimum level mark
4. Coolant reservoir cap
3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove
panel E (See page 6-8). , remove
the reservoir cap, add coolant to
the maximum level mark, and
then install the reservoir cap and
the panel. WARNING! Remove
only the coolant reservoir cap.
Never attempt to remove the
radiator cap when the engine is
hot.
[EWA15161]
NOTICE: If coolant is not avai-
lable, use distilled water or soft
tap water instead. Do not use
hard water or salt water since it
is harmful to the engine. If
water has been used instead of
coolant, replace it with coolant
as soon as possible, otherwise
the cooling system will not be
protected against frost and
corrosion. If water has been
added to the coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the anti-
freeze content of the coolant
as soon as possible, otherwise
the effectiveness of the coolant
will be reduced.

Coolant reservoir capacity (up to
the maximum level mark):
0.50 L (0.53 US qt, 0.44 Imp.qt)

2. Unhook the headlight bulb hol-
der, and then remove the defecti-
ve bulb.
1. Do not touch the glass part of the bulb.
EWA10790
Headlight bulbs get very hot. The-
refore, keep flammable products
away from a lit headlight bulb, and
do not touch the bulb until it has
cooled down.
3. Place a new headlight bulb into
position, and then secure it with
the bulb holder.
4. Connect the coupler, and then
install the headlight bulb cover.
5. Have a Yamaha dealer adjust the
headlight beam if necessary.

4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal, inclu-
ding chrome- and nickel-plated,
surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal clea-
ner to remove any remaining dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
8. Let the motorcycle dry comple-
tely before storing or covering it.
EWA11131
Contaminants on the brakes or
tires can cause loss of control.
Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires.
If necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or
acetone, and wash the tires
with warm water and a mild
detergent. Before riding at hig-
her speeds, test the motorcy-
cle’s braking performance and
cornering behavior.
ECA10800
Apply spray oil and wax spa-
ringly and make sure to wipe
off any excess.
Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.
Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.
TIP
Consult a Yamaha dealer for
advice on what products to use.
Washing, rainy weather or humid
climates can cause the headlight
lens to fog. Turning the headlight
on for a short period of time will
help remove the moisture from
the lens.
EAUM1902
Storage
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a
cool, dry place and, if necessary, pro-
tect it against dust with a porous
cover. Be sure the engine and the
exhaust system are cool before cove-
ring the motorcycle.
ECA10810
Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cove-
ring it with a tarp, while it is still
wet, will allow water and humi-
dity to seep in and cause rust.
To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for
several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.
2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
