Rear shock absorber
adjustmentThis rear shock absorber is equipped
with a spring preload adjuster.
Adjust spring preload as follows.
1. Put the motorcycle on the side-
stand.NOTE:@ There should be no weight on the
motorcycle when performing this job. @2. Remove the valve cap.3. Check the air pressure using the
air pressure gauge in the owner’s
tool kit, and adjust it if necessary.
Increasing the air pressure in-
creases the spring preload, de-
creasing the air pressure
decreases the spring preload.
To increase the air pressure, use
an air pump or compressed air.
To decrease the air pressure, re-
lease the air by pushing the valve.
EC000012
CAUTION:@ Never exceed the maximum pres-
sure, or oil seal damage may occur. @4. Install the valve cap securely.
EAU00330
SidestandThis model is equipped with an ignition
circuit cut-off system. The motorcycle
must not be ridden when the sidestand
is down. The sidestand is located on
the left side of the frame. (Refer to
page 6-1 for an explanation of this sys-
tem.)
EW000044
WARNING
@ This motorcycle must not be operat-
ed with the sidestand in the down
position. If the stand is not properly
retracted, it could contact the
ground and distract the operator, re-
sulting in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha has designed into this
motorcycle a lockout system to as-
sist the operator in fulfilling the re-
sponsibility of retracting the
sidestand. Please check carefully
the operating instructions listed be-
low and if there is any indication of a
malfunction, return the motorcycle
to a Yamaha dealer immediately for
repair. @

Clutch lever free play
adjustmentThis motorcycle has a hydraulic clutch.
There are no adjustments to perform
but the clutch system must be inspect-
ed periodically for proper fluid level and
leakage. If the control lever free play
becomes excessive and the motor-
cycle creeps or stalls when shifted into
gear, or if the clutch slips, causing ac-
celeration to lag behind engine speed,
there is probably air in the clutch sys-
tem and it must be bled out. Ask a
Yamaha dealer to do this service. Tightening torque:

Front brake lever free play
adjustmentThe free play at the front brake lever
should be 2 ~ 5 mm.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting bolt in
direction
a to increase free play
or in direction
b to decrease free
play.
3. After adjusting, tighten the locknut.
EW000099
WARNING
@ l
Check the brake lever free play.
Be sure the brake is working
properly.
l
A soft or spongy feeling in the
brake lever can indicate the
presence of air in the brake sys-
tem. This air must be removed
by bleeding the brake system
before the motorcycle is operat-
ed. Air in the system will cause
greatly diminished braking ca-
pability and can result in loss of
control and an accident. Have a
Yamaha dealer inspect and
bleed the system if necessary.

When checking the fluid level,
make sure the top of the master
cylinder is level by turning the han-
dlebars.
l
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake or clutch
performance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake or clutch perfor-
mance.
l
Be careful that water does not en-
ter the master cylinder when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
l
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
l
Have a Yamaha dealer check the
cause if the brake fluid level goes
down.
EAU00742
Brake fluid replacementThe brake fluid should be replaced only
by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have the Yamaha dealer replace the
following components during periodic
maintenance or when they are dam-
aged or leaking:l
oil seals (every two years)
l
brake hoses (every four years)

CAUTION:@ Avoid touching the glass part of the
bulb. Keep it free from oil; other-
wise, the transparency of the glass,
life of the bulb, and illuminous flux
will be adversely affected. If oil gets
on the bulb, thoroughly clean it with
a cloth moistened with alcohol or
lacquer thinner. @4. Install the bulb holder cover and
connect the headlight connector.
If the headlight beam adjustment is
necessary, ask a Yamaha dealer to
make that adjustment.

Engine overheating
EW000070
WARNING
@ Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown
out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Open the radiator cap as follows. Wait until the engine has
cooled. Remove the radiator cap stopper by removing the screw. Place a thick rag like a towel over the radiator cap
and slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent. This procedure allows any residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning counterclockwise and remove it. @NOTE:@ If it is difficult to get the recommended coolant, tap water can be temporarily used, provided that it is changed to the recom-
mended coolant as soon as possible. @
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir tank and/or radiator.
Level is OK.Level is low, check the
cooling system for leakage.
No
leakage.Leakage.
Ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect
and repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Restart the engine. If the engine overheats again, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect and repair the cooling system.
