NOTE:_

The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance is performed instead.


From 50,000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10,000 km.


Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and techni-
cal skills.

NOTE:_

The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.


Hydraulic brake service
Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake
fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

CAUTION:@ Do not use any tools to remove or
install the spark plug cap, otherwise
the ignition coil coupler may get
damaged. The spark plug cap may
be difficult to remove because the
rubber seal on the end of the cap fits
tightly. To remove the spark plug
cap, simply twist it back and forth
while pulling it out; to install it, twist
it back and forth while pushing it in. @

Engine oil and oil filter
cartridge The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.
NOTE:_ Make sure that the motorcycle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the oil
level. A slight tilt to the side can result in
a false reading. _2. Remove the rider seat. (See
page 3-12 for rider seat removal
and installation procedures.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up until
the engine oil has reached a nor-
mal temperature of 60°C, let it
continue to idle for ten seconds,
and then turn the engine off.NOTE:_ To achieve the proper engine oil tem-
perature for an accurate oil level read-
ing, the engine must have first
completely cooled down, and then
warmed up again for several minutes to
normal operating temperature. _

64. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, remove the oil filler cap, wipe
the dipstick clean, insert it back
into the oil filler hole (without
screwing it in), and then remove it
again to check the oil level.
NOTE:_ The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks. _5. If the engine oil is below the mini-
mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
NOTE:_ When adding oil, be careful not to over-
fill the engine; the oil level rises faster
starting from the half level portion on
the dipstick. _6. Insert the dipstick into the oil filler
hole, and then tighten the oil filler
cap.
7. Install the rider seat.
ECA00027
CAUTION:_ Make sure that the oil filler cap is se-
curely tightened, otherwise oil may
seep out when the engine is run-
ning. _
To change the engine oil
(with or without oil filter cartridge
replacement)
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the oil tank
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the oil tank.

the O-ring of the new oil filter car-
tridge.NOTE:_ Make sure that the O-ring is properly
seated. _8. Install the new oil filter cartridge
with an oil filter wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque
with a torque wrench.9. Install the engine oil drain bolts,
and then tighten them to the spec-
ified torque.
10. Pour only 2.5 L of the specified
amount of recommended engine
oil through the filler hole, insert the
dipstick, and then tighten the oil
filler cap.
11. Start the engine, rev it several
times, and then turn it off.
12. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
and then gradually fill the oil tank
with the remaining oil quantity
while regularly checking the oil
level on the dipstick.

not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.


Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
