NOTE:@ l
Be sure the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the oil level. A slight tilt toward the
side can result in false readings.
l
When adding oil, be careful not to
overfill the engine; the oil level ris-
es faster starting from the half lev-
el portion on the dipstick.
@6. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole and tighten the oil filler cap,
then install the rider seat.

CAUTION:@ Be sure the oil filler cap is securely
tightened as the oil may seep out
when the engine is running. @

65. Install the drain bolts and tighten
them to the specified torque.
6. Apply a light coat of engine oil to
the O-ring of the new oil filter.
NOTE:@ Make sure the O-ring is seated proper-
ly. @
7. Install the oil filter and tighten it to
the specified torque with an oil fil-
ter wrench.
8. Pour only 2.5 L of oil into the oil fill-
er hole, then install the oil filler cap
and tighten it.
9. Start the engine and rev it several
times.
10. Stop the engine and remove the
oil filler cap.11. Gradually fill the oil tank with the
remainder of the recommended oil
quantity while checking the level
on the dipstick.

CAUTION:@ l
Do not put in any chemical addi-
tives. Engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.

EAU00629
Carburetor adjustmentThe carburetor is a vital part of the en-
gine and requires very sophisticated
adjustment. Most adjustments should
be left to a Yamaha dealer who has the
professional knowledge and experi-
ence to do so. However, the following
may be serviced by the owner as part
of routine maintenance.
EC000094
CAUTION:@ The carburetor was set at the
Yamaha factory after many tests. If
the settings are changed, poor en-
gine performance and damage may
result. @
EAU01168*
Idle speed adjustmentNOTE:@ A diagnostic tachometer must be used
for this procedure. @1. Attach the tachometer. Start the
engine and warm it up for a few
minutes at approximately 1,000 to
2,000 r/min. Occasionally rev the
engine to 4,000 to 4,400 r/min.
The engine is warm when it quick-
ly responds to the throttle.

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.
