Carburetor adjustmentThe carburetors are important parts of
the engine and require very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Most adjustments
should be left to a Yamaha dealer who
has the professional knowledge and
experience to do so. However, the idle
speed may be adjusted by the owner
as part of routine maintenance.
EC000095
CAUTION:@ The carburetors were set at the
Yamaha factory after many tests. If
they are changed, poor engine per-
formance 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 5,000 r/min.
The engine is warm when it quick-
ly responds to the throttle.2. Set the idle to the specified engine
speed by adjusting the throttle
stop screw. Turn the screw in di-
rection
a to increase engine
speed and in direction
b to de-
crease engine speed.
NOTE:@ If the specified idle speed cannot be
obtained by performing the above ad-
justment, consult a Yamaha dealer. @1. Throttle stop screw
Standard idle speed:
950 ~ 1,050 r/min

Throttle cable free play
inspectionThere should be a free play of 4 ~
6 mm at the throttle grip. If the free play
is incorrect, ask a Yamaha dealer to
make this adjustment.
EAU00637
Valve clearance adjustmentThe correct valve clearance changes
with use, resulting in improper fuel/air
supply or engine noise. To prevent this,
the valve clearance must be adjusted
regularly. This adjustment however,
should be left to a professional
Yamaha service technician.

TiresTo ensure maximum performance,
long service and safe operation, note
the following:
Tire air pressure
Always check and adjust the tire pres-
sure before operating the motorcycle.
EWA00018
WARNING
@ Tire inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tire equals the
ambient air temperature. Tire infla-
tion pressure must be adjusted ac-
cording to total weight of cargo,
rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc.). @CE-37EEW000083
WARNING
@ Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several characteris-
tics of your motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance and
safety. Do not carry loosely packed
items that can shift. Securely pack
your heaviest items close to the
center of the motorcycle, and dis-
tribute the weight evenly from side
to side. Properly adjust the suspen-
sion for your load, and check the
condition and pressure of your tires.
NEVER OVERLOAD YOUR MOTOR-
CYCLE. Make sure the total weight
of the cargo, rider, passenger, and
accessories (fairing, saddlebags,
etc. if approved for this model) does
not exceed the maximum load of the
motorcycle. Operation of an over-
loaded motorcycle could cause tire
damage, an accident, or even injury. @

7 Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating
the motorcycle. If center tread depth
reaches the limit as shown, if the tire
has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if
the side wall is cracked, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately and have
the tire replaced.
EW000079
WARNING
@ Operating the motorcycle with ex-
cessively worn tires decrease riding
stability and can lead to loss of con-
trol. Have excessively worn tires re-
placed by a Yamaha dealer
immediately. Brakes, tires, and relat-
ed wheel parts replacement should
be left to a Yamaha Service Techni-
cian. @CE-26ENOTE:@ These limits may be different by regula-
tion from country to country. If so, con-
form to the limits specified by the
regulations of your own country. @

7Tire information
This motorcycle is equipped with tube-
less tires, tire valves and cast wheels.
EW000132
WARNING
@ After extensive tests, the tires men-
tioned below have been approved
by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. for this
model. No guarantee for handling
characteristics can be given if tire
combinations other than what is ap-
proved are used on this motorcycle.
The front and rear tires should be of
the same manufacture and design.
Always use the tire valves and valvecores listed below. Be sure to install
the valve caps securely, as these
are important to prevent air pres-
sure leakage.
@CE-41E
CE-42EEAU01230
WheelsTo ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation, note
the following:l
Always inspect the wheels before
a ride. Check for cracks, bends or
warpage of the wheels. If any ab-
normal condition exists in a wheel,
consult a Yamaha dealer. Do not
attempt even small repairs to the
wheel. If a wheel is deformed or
cracked, it must be replaced.
l
Tires and wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either one is
changed or replaced. Failure to
have a wheel balanced can result
in poor performance, adverse han-
dling characteristics and short-
ened tire life.
l
Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be broken in for it to
develop its optimal characteristics.

and locknut to the specified
torque.

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.

@ A soft or spongy feeling in the brake
pedal can indicate the presence of
air in the brake system. This air
must be removed by bleeding the

Brake light switch adjustmentThe rear brake light switch is activated
by the brake pedal and is properly ad-
justed when the brake light comes on
just before braking takes effect. Since
the brake light switch is a component of
the cruise control system, adjustment
should be made by a Yamaha dealer.
