EW000115
WARNING
@ 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.
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 handle-
bars several times and check if the
fork rebounds smoothly.
EC000098
CAUTION:@ If any damage or unsmooth move-
ment is found with the front fork,
consult a Yamaha dealer. @
EAU00794
Steering inspectionPeriodically inspect the condition of the
steering. Worn out or loose steering
bearings may be dangerous. 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 steer-
ing. Inspection is easier if the front
wheel is removed.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
7-3
7After riding in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roadsSince sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads in the winter are extremely corro-
sive in combination with water, carry
out the following steps after each ride
in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads. (Salt sprayed in the
winter may remain on the roads well
into spring.)
1. Clean your motorcycle with cold
water and soap after the engine
has cooled down.
ECA00012
CAUTION:@ Do not use warm water since it in-
creases the corrosive action of the
salt. @2. Be sure to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even chrome-
and nickel-plated) metal surfaces
to prevent corrosion.After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois
or an absorbing cloth.
2. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-
steel parts, including the exhaust
system. (Even the thermally in-
duced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be re-
moved through polishing.)
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even chrome-
and nickel-plated) metal surfaces.
4. Use spray oil as a universal clean-
er to remove any remaining dirt.
5. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
6. Wax all painted surfaces.
7. Let the motorcycle dry completely
before storing it or covering it.
EWA00001
WARNING
@ Make sure that there is no oil or wax
on the brakes and tires. If neces-
sary, clean the brake discs and lin-
ings with a regular brake disc
cleaner or acetone, and wash the
tires with warm water and mild soap.
Then, carefully test the motorcycle
for its braking performance and cor-
nering behavior. @

7a. 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
WARNING
@ 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.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, then raise the
motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground. Alterna-
tively, turn the wheels a little every
month in order to prevent the tires
from becoming degraded in one
spot.
8. Cover up the muffler outlets with
plastic bags to prevent moisture
from entering.9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in
an excessively cold or warm place
(less than 0 °C or more than
30 °C). For more information, see
“Battery storage” in the chapter
“PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND
MINOR REPAIRS”.
NOTE:@ Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle. @

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.
