3. Oil level indicator light “ ”
This indicator light will come on if the oil
level is low. To check that the indicator
light is working properly:
l
Turn the engine stop switch to
“ ” and the main switch to “ON”.
l
Put the transmission in neutral or
apply the clutch lever.
l
Push the start switch.
If the indicator light does not come on
while pushing the start switch, have a
Yamaha dealer inspect the electrical
circuit.
NOTE:@ Even if the oil is filled to the specified
level, the indicator light may flicker
when riding on a slope or during sud-
den acceleration or deceleration, but
this is normal. @

2. Remove the valve cap from each
fork leg.
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.

CAUTION:@ Never exceed the maximum pres-
sure, or oil seal damage may occur. @4. Install the valve caps securely.

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. @

5-PRE-OPERATION CHECKSOwners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to deteriorate
quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak or
loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important that, in addition to a thorough visual in-
spection, you check the following points before each ride.

NOTE:@ l
The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
l
Hydraulic brake and clutch systems
• After disassembling the master cylinder, caliper or clutch release cylinder, always replace the brake fluid. Check the
brake fluid level of the master cylinder and clutch release cylinder regularly and fill as required.
• Replace the oil seals on the inner parts of the master cylinder, caliper and clutch release cylinder every two years.
• Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years or if cracked or damaged.

Engine oilOil level inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. Warm up the engine for seve-
ral minutes.NOTE:@ Be sure the motorcycle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt toward the side can result in
false readings. @2. Stop the engine and wait for a few
minutes. Check the oil level
through the level window located
at the lower part of the right side
crankcase cover.NOTE:@ Wait a few minutes until the oil level
settles before checking. @
3. The oil level should be between
the maximum and minimum
marks. If the level is low, fill the en-
gine with sufficient recommended
oil to reach the specified level.Engine oil and oil filter cartridge re-
placement
1. Warm up the engine for several
minutes.
2. Stop the engine. Place an oil pan
under the engine and remove the
oil filler cap.1. Engine oil level window

78. Fill the engine with sufficient rec-
ommended oil. Install the oil filler
cap and tighten it.
EC000066
CAUTION:@ l
Do not put in any chemical addi-
tives. Engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
l
Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.
@
9. Start the engine and warm it up for
several minutes. While warming
up, check for oil leakage. If oil
leakage is found, stop the engine
immediately and check for the
cause.NOTE:@ After the engine is started, the oil level
indicator light should go off if the oil is at
the specified level. @
EC000067
CAUTION:@ If the indicator light flickers or re-
mains on, immediately stop the en-
gine and consult with a Yamaha
dealer. @

found, take the motorcycle to a
Yamaha dealer for repairs. Recommended oil:

l
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)
