Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption, tips for reducing
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
8Thoroughly warm up the engine.
8Turn the starter (choke) off as
soon as possible.
8Shift up swiftly, and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
8Do not rev the engine while shift-
ing down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the
engine.
8Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cross-
ings).
EAU00436
Engine break-in
Engine break-in
There is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your engine than the
period between 0 and 1,000 km. For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do
not put an excessive load on it for the
first 1,000 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clear-
ances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overheat-
ing must be avoided.
EAU04399
0–500 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
500–1,000 km
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
ECA00058
cCAfter 1,000 km of operation, the
engine oil must be changed, and
the oil filter element replaced.1,000 km and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated
normally.
EC000049
cCIf any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.

NOTE:
8The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
8Hydraulic brake service
9Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.
9Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinder and caliper, and change the brake
fluid.
9Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.19

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 specified torque as
soon as possible.4. Install the spark plug cap.

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 element replaced at the intervals
specified 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
positioned 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
several minutes, and then turn it
off.3. Wait a few minutes until the oil
settles, and then check the oil
level through the check window
located at the bottom-right side
of the crankcase.
NOTE:
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.4. If the engine oil is below the min-
imum level mark, add sufficient
oil of the recommended type to
raise it to the correct level.

6To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter element replace-
ment)
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.
NOTE:
Skip steps 4-6 if the oil filter element
is not being replaced.
4. Remove the oil filter element
cover by removing the bolts.

element and O-ring.
6. Install the oil filter element cover
by installing the bolts, then tight-
ening them to the specified
torque.
NOTE:
Make sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.
7. Install the engine oil drain bolt,
and then tighten it to the speci-
fied torque.
8. Add the specified amount of the
recommended engine oil, and
then install and tighten the oil
filler cap.

cC8In 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 grade
“CD” or higher. In addition, do
not use oils labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II” or higher.
8Make sure that no foreign
material enters the crankcase.

69. 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.
10. Turn the engine off, and then
check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.

Cleaning the air filter
elementThe air filter element should be
cleaned at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. Clean the air filter element
more frequently if you are riding in
unusually wet or dusty areas.
1. Remove the air filter case by
removing the bolts and loosening
the clamp screw.2. Remove the air filter case cover
by removing the screws.

cCBe sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled “ENERGY
CONSERVING II”) contain anti-friction additives which will
cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
