Drive belt slack check1. Put the motorcycle on the side-
stand and make sure that both
wheels are on the ground.
2. Using the reference marks at the
side of the check window, which is
located at the rear left side of the
motorcycle, note the current posi-
tion of the drive belt.3. Apply a force of 45 N (4.5 kg) with
the belt tension gauge to the lower
drive belt run as shown and re-
check the drive belt position in the
check window. The normal drive
belt slack (i.e., the distance be-
tween the original belt position and
its position with the force applied)
is approximately 7.5 ~ 13 mm.
4. If the measured slack exceeds
13 mm, adjust the drive belt.
NOTE:@ The reference marks at the side of the
drive belt check window are 5 mm

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha motorcycles receive
a rigid inspection before shipment from
the factory, trouble may occur during
operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compression,
or ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The trouble-
shooting chart describes a quick, easy
procedure for making checks.
If your motorcycle requires any repair,
bring it to a Yamaha dealer. The skilled
technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your motor-
cycle. Use only genuine Yamaha parts
on your motorcycle. Imitation parts may
look like Yamaha parts, but they are of-
ten inferior. Consequently, they have a
shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.

CAUTION: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.
