Owner’s manual and tool kit
You are recommended to put this owner's man-
ual and low-pressure tire gauge in the vinyl bag
and always carry them along with the owner’s
tool kit under the seat. The service information
included in this manual is intended to provide
you, the owner, with the necessary information
for completing your own preventive maintenance
and minor repairs. The tools provided in the
owner’s tool kit are sufficient for this purpose,
except that a torque wrench is also necessary to
properly tighten nuts and bolts.
NOTE:
If you do not have a torque wrench available
during a service operation requiring one, take
your machine to a Yamaha dealer to check the
torque settings and adjust them as necessary.

ping.

9. Install the air filter case cover by hooking
the fasteners onto the air filter case.
10. Install the front cover by installing the bolts.
NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20-40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricated
more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time air filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet of the air filter case for obstructions. Check
the air cleaner rubber joint to the carburetor and
manifold fittings for an airtight seal. Tighten all
fittings securely to avoid the possibility of unfil-
tered air entering the engine.
