EAU01175Tool kit
The tool kit is located behind panel
A. (See page 6-6 for panel removal
and installation procedures.) The
tools provided in the owner’s tool
kit are to assist you in the perfor-
mance of periodic maintenance.
However, some other tools such as
a torque wrench are also necessary
to perform the maintenance cor-
rectly.
The service information included in
this manual is intended to provide
you, the owner, with the necessary
information for completing some
of your own preventive mainte-
nance and minor repairs.
1. Tool kit
EAU00464
Periodic inspection, adjustment
and lubrication will keep your
motorcycle in the safest and most
efficient condition possible. Safety
is an obligation of the motorcycle
owner. The maintenance and lubri-
cation schedule chart should be
considered strictly as a guide to
general maintenance and lubrica-
tion intervals.
YOU MUST TAKE INTO CONSID-
ERATION THAT WEATHER, TER-
RAIN, GEOGRAPHICAL LOCA-
TIONS, AND A VARIETY OF
INDIVIDUAL USES ALL TEND TO
DEMAND THAT EACH OWNER
ALTER THIS TIME SCHEDULE TO
SHORTER INTERVALS TO MATCH
THE ENVIRONMENT. The most
important points of motorcycle
inspection, adjustment, and lubri-
cation are explained in the follow-
ing pages.

Inspection
The spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect.
The condition of the spark plug can
indicate the condition of the engine.
Normally, all spark plugs from the
same engine should have the same
color on the white insulator around
the center electrode. The ideal color
at this point is a medium-to-light tan
color for a motorcycle that is being
ridden normally. If one spark plug
shows a distinctly different color,
there could be something wrong with
the engine.
Do not attempt to diagnose such
problems yourself. Instead, take the
motorcycle to a Yamaha dealer. You
should periodically remove and
inspect the spark plugs because heat
and deposits will cause any spark
plug to slowly break down and erode.
If electrode erosion becomes exces-
sive, or if carbon and other deposits
are excessive, you should replace the
spark plug with the specified plug.
Specified spark plug:
CR6HSA (NGK) or
U20FSR-U (DENSO)

Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several character-
istics of your motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance
and safety. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift.
Securely pack your heaviest items
close to the center of the motorcy-
cle, and distribute the weight
evenly from side to side. Properly
adjust the suspension for your
load, and check the condition and
pressure of your tires. NEVER
OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE.
Make sure the total weight of the
cargo, rider, passenger, and acces-
sories (fairing, saddlebags, etc. if
approved for this model) does not
exceed the maximum load of the
motorcycle. Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle could cause tire
damage, an accident, or even
injury.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
EAU00647Tires
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
Tire air pressure
Always check and adjust the tire
pressure before operating the
motorcycle.
EW000082
w
Tire inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tire equals the
ambient air temperature. Tire infla-
tion pressure must be adjusted
according to total weight of cargo,
rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if
approved for this model), and vehi-
cle speed.
* Load is the total weight of cargo, rider, passen-
ger, and accessories.

EAU00685Wheels
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
8Always inspect the wheels
before a ride. Check for cracks,
bends or warpage of the
wheel. Be sure the spokes are
tight and undamaged. If any
abnormal condition exists in a
wheel, consult a Yamaha deal-
er. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel
is deformed or cracked, it must
be replaced.
8Tires and wheels should be
balanced whenever either one
is changed or replaced. Failure
to have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteris-
tics, and shortened tire life.8Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire
surface must first be broken in
for it to develop its optimal
characteristics.

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.

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.
