EAU00773Throttle cable and grip
lubrication
The throttle twist grip assembly
should be greased at the time that
the cable is lubricated, since the
grip must be removed to get at the
end of the throttle cable. After
removing the screws, hold the end
of the cable up in the air and put in
several drops of lubricant. With the
throttle grip disassembled, coat the
metal surface of the grip assembly
with a suitable all-purpose grease.

Be sure to oil the chain after wash-
ing the motorcycle or riding in the
rain.

Damage to the outer housing of
cables may lead to internal rusting
and interfere with the cable move-
ment. Replace damaged cables as
soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
Lubricate the cables and cable ends.
If a cable does not operate smooth-
ly, ask a Yamaha dealer to replace it.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil

EAU00794Steering inspection
Periodically inspect the condition
of the steering. Worn out or loose
steering bearings may be danger-
ous. Place a stand under the
engine to raise the front wheel off
the ground. Hold the lower end of
the front forks and try to move
them forward and backward. If any
free play can be felt, ask a Yamaha
dealer to inspect and adjust the
steering. Inspection is easier if the
front wheel is removed.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
Operation check
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place.
2. Hold the motorcycle in an
upright position and apply the
front brake.
3. Push down hard on the han-
dlebars several times and
check if the fork rebounds
smoothly.

If any damage or unsmooth move-
ment is found with the front fork,
consult a Yamaha dealer.

Securely support the motorcycle
so there is no danger of it falling
over.
Check for scratches or damage on
the inner tube and excessive oil
leakage from the front fork.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-4
Storage
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a
cool, dry place and, if necessary,
protect it against dust with a
porous cover.
ECA00014
cC
8Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cov-
ering it with a tarp while it is
still wet will allow water and
humidity to seep in and cause
rust.
8To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chem-
icals are stored.
Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for
several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in
the “Care” section of this
chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float
chambers by loosening the
drain bolts; this will prevent
fuel deposits from building up.
Pour the drained fuel into the
fuel tank.
3. Only for motorcycles equipped
with a fuel cock which has an
“OFF” position: Turn the fuel
cock to “OFF”.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add
fuel stabilizer (if available) to
prevent the fuel tank from rust-
ing and the fuel from deterio-
rating.
5. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinders, piston
rings, etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug caps
and spark plugs.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine
oil into each spark plug bore.c. Install the spark plug caps onto
the spark plugs and place the
spark plugs on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit
sparking during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several
times with the starter. (This
will coat the cylinder walls
with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug caps
from the spark plugs, install
the spark plugs and then the
spark plug caps.
EWA00003
w
When turning the engine over, be
sure to ground the spark plug elec-
trodes to prevent damage or injury
from sparking.
6. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.

cC
Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled “Energy
Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which will cause
clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced
component life and poor engine performance.
