Fuel tank breather hose
Before operating the motorcycle:
Check the fuel tank breather hose
connection.
Check the fuel tank breather hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.
Make sure that the end of the fuel
tank breather hose is not blocked,
and clean it if necessary.
TIP
If the fuel tank breather hose falls out,
reinstall it on the fuel tank cap with the
arrow mark on the one-way valve
pointed downward as shown.

Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetor while filtering it
also.
The fuel cock has two positions:
OFF
With the lever in this position, fuel will
not flow. Always return the lever to this
position when the engine is not run-
ning.
ON
With the lever in this position, fuel flows
to the carburetor. Normal riding is done
with the lever in this position.

4. Loosen the locknut.
5. To increase the spring preload
and thereby harden the suspen-
sion, turn the adjusting nut in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting nut
in direction (b).
A special wrench can be ob-
tained at a Yamaha dealer to
make this adjustment.
The spring preload setting is
determined by measuring
distance A, shown in the illus-
tration. The longer distance A
is, the lower the spring pre-
load; the shorter distance A
is, the higher the spring pre- load. With each complete
turn of the adjusting nut, dis-
tance A is changed by 1.5
mm (0.06 in).
6. Tighten the locknut to the speci- fied torque. NOTICE: Always
ti ghten the locknut ag ainst the
a d justin g nut, and then tighten
the locknut to the specifie d
torque.

Tires
Tires are the only contact between the
vehicle and the road. Safety in all con-
ditions of riding depends on a relatively
small area of road contact. Therefore, it
is essential to maintain the tires in good
condition at all times and replace them
at the appropriate time with the speci-
fied tires.
Tire air pressure
The tire air pressure should be
checked and, if necessary, adjusted
before each ride.
WARNING
EWA14382
Operation of this vehicle with im-
proper tire pressure may cause se-
vere injury or d eath from loss of
control. The tire air pressure must b e
checked and a djuste d on col d
tires (i.e., when the temperature
of the tires equals the am bient
temperature).
The tire air pressure must b e
a d juste d in accor dance with the
wei ght of the ri der, the ri din g
speed , and the ri din g con di-
tions.

A djustin g the clutch lever free
play
Measure the clutch lever free play as
shown.
Periodically check the clutch lever free
play and, if necessary, adjust it.
To increase the clutch lever free play,
turn the clutch lever free play adjuster
in direction (a). To decrease the clutch
lever free play, turn the adjuster in di-
rection (b).
TIP
If the specified clutch lever free play
cannot be obtained as described
above, proceed as follows.
1. Fully turn the adjuster in direction
(a) to loosen the clutch cable.
2. Slide the rubber cover and clutch lever free play adjuster back fur-
ther down the clutch cable, and
then loosen the locknut.
3. To increase the clutch lever free play, turn the clutch lever free play
adjusting bolt in direction (a). To decrease the clutch lever free
play, turn the adjusting bolt in di-
rection (b).
4. Tighten the locknut at the clutch cable.
5. Slide the clutch lever free play ad- juster and rubber cover to their
original positions, making sure to
align the slot in the adjuster with
the slot in the adjusting bolt.

Checkin g the brake flui d level
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level mark.
Check the brake fluid level with the res-
ervoir in an upright position. Replenish
the brake fluid if necessary.
NOTICE
ECA17641
Brake flui d may damag e painte d
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spille d flui d imme diately.
Front brake
Rear brake
As the brake pads wear, it is normal for
the brake fluid level to gradually go
down.
A low brake fluid level may indi-
cate worn brake pads or brake
system leakage; therefore, be sure
to check the brake pads for wear
and the brake system for leakage.
If the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause before further rid-
ing.
WARNING
EWA15991
Improper maintenance can result in
loss of b raking a bility. O bserve
these precautions: Insufficient brake flui d may al-
low air to enter the brake sys-
tem, re ducin g brakin g
performance.
Clean the filler cap before re-
moving . Use only DOT 4 b rake
flui d from a seale d container.
Use only the specifie d b rake flu-
i d ; otherwise, the ru bber seals
may deteriorate, causin g leak-
a g e.
Refill with the same type of
brake flui d. A ddin g a brake flui d
other than DOT 4 may result in a
harmful chemical reaction.
Be careful that water d oes not
enter the brake flui d reservoir
when refillin g. Water will si gnifi-
cantly lower the b oiling point of
the flui d an d may result in vapor

this from occurrin
g, keep the
d rive chain slack within the
specified limits.
[ECA10572]
EAU84060
To adjust the d rive chain slack
Consult a Yamaha dealer before ad-
justing the drive chain slack. 1. Loosen the axle nut and the lock- nut on each side of the swingarm.
2. To tighten the drive chain, turn the drive chain slack adjusting bolt on
each side of the swingarm in di-
rection (a). To loosen the drive
chain, turn the adjusting bolt on
each side of the swingarm in di-
rection (b), and then push the rear
wheel forward.
TIP
Using the alignment marks on the drive
chain pullers and the notch on each
side of the swingarm, make sure that
both drive chain pullers are in the same
position for proper wheel alignment.
3. Tighten both locknuts and the axlenut to the specified torques.
4. Make sure that the drive chain pullers are in the same position,
the drive chain slack is correct,
