EAS1SL1014OUTLINE OF THE FI SYSTEM
The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the opti-
mum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric tempera-
ture. In the conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture to be supplied to the
combustion chamber is determined by the amount of intake air and fuel that is measured on the basis
of the jets to be used in the carburetor.
Despite the same amount of intake air, the fuel amount requirement varies with the engine operating
conditions (acceleration, deceleration, and operation under a heavy load). The carburetor that mea
-
sures fuel through the use of jets are provided with various auxiliary devices, so that the optimum air
fuel ratio can be obtained to accommodate frequent changes in the operating conditions of the en
-
gine. This model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection (FI) system, in place of the
conventional carburetor system. This system can obtain the optimum air-fuel ratio required by the
engine at all times by using a microprocessor that regulates the fuel injection amount according to
the engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.

EAS1SL1088ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCE
TIP
• This section is intended for those who have
basic knowledge and skill concerning the ser
-
vicing of Yamaha motorcycles (e.g., Yamaha
dealers, service engineers, etc.). Those who
have little knowledge and skill concerning ser
-
vicing are requested not to undertake inspec-
tion, adjustment, disassembly, or reassembly
only by reference to this manual. It may lead to servicing trouble and mechanical damage.
• Make sure that the valve clearance is
checked or adjusted while the engine is cold
(at room temperature).
• While the valve clearance is checked or ad-
justed, make sure that the piston is positioned
in the top dead center (TDC).
1. Remove:
• Seat
• Side cover (left/right)
• Air scoop (left/right)
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page 4-

• Spark plug
Refer to “CAMSHAFT” on page 5-11.ECA13330
NOTICE
In order not to allow the dirt accumulated
around the spark plug to drop from the
spark plug hole into the cylinder, clean it be
-
fore removing the spark plug.
3. Check:
• Spark plug type
Wrong type  Replace.
4. Check:
• Electrode
Damage/wear  Replace the spark plug.
• Insulator
Abnormal color  Replace the spark plug.
Normal color is medium-to-light tan.

• Spark plug
(with a spark plug cleaner or a wire brush)
6. Measure:
• Spark plug gap “a”
Out of specification  Adjust the spark plug
gap.
7. Install:
• Spark plug
TIP
Before installing the spark plug, clean the spark
plug and gasket surface.
