If knocking or pinging occurs, use a different
brand of gasoline or higher octane grade.
cC
Never mix two types of oil in the same
batch; clotting of the oil could result. If you
wish to change oil types, be sure to drain
the fuel tank and the carburetor float bowl
of old premix prior to filling with the new
type.
Fuel tank capacity:
8.0 L (1.76 Imp gal, 2.11 US gal)
Mixing oil
Recommended oil:
Yamalube “2-R”
(Yamalube racing 2-cycle oil)

CARBURANTE E OLIO PER MISCELA PER MOTORI
KRAFTSTOFF UND
MOTORGEMISCHÖL
Öl im nachfolgend angegebenen Ver-
hältnis dem Kraftstoff beimengen.
Immer frischen Marken-Kraftstoff ver-
wenden und das Öl erst am Renntage
dem Kraftstoff beimengen. Niemals
ein Kraftstoff/Öl-Gemisch verwenden,
das mehr als einige Stunden alt ist.
ESSENCE ET HUILE DE
MELANGE DU MOTEUR
Mélanger le carburant à l’huile dans les
proportions indiquées ci-dessous. Utili-
ser systématiquement de l’essence
neuve et connue, mélanger l’huile et
l’essence le jour de la course. Eviter
l’emploi d’un mélange dont la prépara-
tion remonte à plus de quelques heures.
HINWEIS:
Falls es zu Zündfunkenklopfen
kommt, eine andere Benzin-Marke
oder Benzin mit einer höheren Oktan-
zahl verwenden.
dD
Niemals zwei verschiedene Ölsor-
ten zusammenmischen. Es kann zu
Ölklumpenbildung führen. Falls Sie
die Ölsorten wechseln möchten,
unbedingt zuvor den Kraftstoff-
behälter und die Vergaserschwim-
merkammer entleeren, bevor die
neue Ölsorte eingefüllt wird.
N.B.:
Si un cognement ou un cinglement sur-
vient, utiliser une marque d’essence dif-
férente ou une classe d’octane supérieu-
re.
ffF
Evitez de mélanger deux huiles diffé-
rentes dans le même mélange déssen-
ce, car elles pourraient se coaguler. Si
vous désirez changer d’huile, assu-
rez-vous de vider l’ancien mélange
contenu dans le réservoir et la cuve à
flotteur du carburant avant de verser
le nouveau.

CARBURANTE E OLIO
PER MISCELA PER
MOTORI
Miscelare l’olio con la benzina nel rap-
porto specificato più sotto. Usare sem-
pre benzina fresca, di marca; e miscela-
re l’olio e la benzina il giorno della
gara. Non usare una miscela già prepa-
rata che abbia più di qualche ora.
NOTA:
Se si verifica detonazione o battito in
testa, usare una marca di benzina diver-
sa o una qualità con un numero di ottani
più alto.
iI
Non miscelare mai due tipi di olio
nella stessa miscela; potrebbe risul-
tarne un raggrumamento dell’olio. Se
si desidera cambiare tipo di olio, assi-
curarsi di scaricare la vecchia miscela
preparata dal serbatoio del carburan-
te e dalla vaschetta del carburatore
prima di riempirli con il nuovo tipo.

1. Start the engine and warm it up for several
minutes and wait for five minute.
2. Place the machine on a level place and hold
it on upright position by placing the suitable
stand under the engine.
3. Place a suitable container under the engine.

9Remove the oil check bolt 1.
9Inspect the oil level.
NOTE:
Be sure the machine is positioned straight
up when inspecting the oil level.

Never attempt to remove the oil check bolt
just after high speed operation. The heat-
ed oil could spout out, causing danger.
Wait until the oil cools down.
Oil flows out Oil level is correct.
Oil does not flow out Oil level is low.
Add transmission
oil until oil flows
out.
9Inspect the gasket (oil check bolt), replace if
damaged.
9Tighten the oil check bolt.

CHASREAR SHOCK ABSORBER
EC586000
HANDLING NOTE
w
This shock absorber is provided with a
separate type tank filled with high-pressure
nitrogen gas. To prevent the danger of ex-
plosion, read and understand the following
information before handling the shock ab-
sorber.
The manufacturer can not be held respon-
sible for property damage or personal in-
jury that may result from improper han-
dling.
1. Never tamper or attempt to disassemble
the cylinder or the tank.
2. Never throw the shock absorber into an
open flame or other high heat. The shock
absorber may explode as a result of ni-
trogen gas expansion and/or damage to
the hose.
3. Be careful not to damage any part of the
gas tank. A damaged gas tank will impair
the damping performance or cause a
malfunction.
4. Take care not to scratch the contact sur-
face of the piston rod with the cylinder;
or oil could leak out.
5. Never attempt to remove the plug at the
bottom of the nitrogen gas tank. It is very
dangerous to remove the plug.
6. When scrapping the shock absorber, fol-
low the instructions on disposal.
EC587000
NOTES ON DISPOSAL (YAMAHA DEAL-
ERS ONLY)
Before disposing the shock absorber, be sure to
extract the nitrogen gas from valve 1. Wear eye
protection to prevent eye damage from escaping
gas and/or metal chips.
w
To dispose of a damaged or worn-out
shock absorber, take the unit to your
Yamaha dealer for this disposal procedure.
