OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

EAU01128
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1,600 km. For this rea-
son, you should read the following ma-
terial carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1,600 km. The various parts in the en-
gine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances. During
this period, prolonged full-throttle oper-
ation or any condition that might result
in engine overheating must be avoided.
EAU01171*
0–1,000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above
1/3 throttle.
1,000–1,600 km
Avoid prolonged operation above
1/2 throttle.
EC000056*
CAUTION:@ After 1,000 km of operation, the en-
gine oil and final gear oil must be
changed, and the oil filter element
replaced. @1,600 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
EC000049
CAUTION:@ If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle. @
EAU00457
Parking When parking, stop the engine, re-
move the key from the main switch,
and then turn the fuel cock lever to
“OFF”.
EW000058
WARNING
@ l
Since the engine and exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pedestri-
ans or children are not likely to
touch them.
l
Do not park on a slope or on
soft ground, otherwise the mo-
torcycle may overturn.

6To install a spark plug
1. Measure the spark plug gap with a
wire thickness gauge and, if nec-
essary, adjust the gap to specifica-
tion.
2. Clean the surface of the spark
plug gasket and its mating sur-
face, and then wipe off any grime
from the spark plug threads.
3. Install the spark plug with the
spark plug wrench, and then tight-
en it to the specified torque.
NOTE:@ If a torque wrench is not available when
installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible. @4. Install the spark plug cap.
5. Place the spark plug cover in the
original position.
EAU01712
Engine oil and oil filter
element The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter ele-
ment replaced at the intervals specified
in the periodic maintenance and lubri-
cation chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
surface and hold it in an upright
position.

0.7–0.8 mm

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. Start the engine, warm it up for sev-
eral minutes, and then turn it off.
3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set-
tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.NOTE:@ The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.@4. 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.To change the engine oil without oil
filter element replacement
1. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
2. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
3. Remove the engine oil filler cap
and drain bolt to drain the oil from
the crankcase.4. Install the engine oil drain bolt, and
then tighten it to the specified
torque.
5. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil filler
cap.

CAUTION:@ l
In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives
with the oil or use oils of a
higher grade than “CD”. In ad-
dition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
l
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
@
6. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.NOTE:@ After the engine is started, the engine
oil level warning light should go off if the
oil level is sufficient. @
EC000067
CAUTION:@ If the oil level warning light flickers
or remains on, immediately turn the
engine off and have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle. @7. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.NOTE:@ Have a Yamaha dealer replace the oil
filter element when necessary. @
EAU02943
Final gear oil The final gear case must be checked
for oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the motorcycle. In
addition, the final gear oil level must be
checked and the oil changed as follows
at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.
EW000066
WARNING
@ l
Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the final gear case.
l
Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-fric-

“ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contain anti-friction addi-
tives which will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slip-
page, resulting in reduced component life and poor
engine performance.
