EAU16842
En gine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAU17085
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 8300
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the en gine oil must
b e chan ged an d the oil filter car-
tri dge or element replace d.
[ECA10303]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 9900
r/min. 1600 km (1000 mi) an

The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
Keep the en gine spee d out of
the tachometer re d zone.
If any en gine trou ble shoul d oc-
cur durin g the en gine break-in
period , imme diately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.TIPDuring and after the engine break-in
period, the exhaust heat may cause
discoloration of the exhaust pipe, but
this is normal.
EAU17214
Parkin gWhen parking, stop the engine, and
then remove the key from the main
switch.
WARNING
EWA10312
Since the en gine an d exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pe destri-
ans or chil dren are not likely to
touch them and b e burne d.
Do not park on a slope or on soft
groun d, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasin g the
risk of a fuel leak an d fire.
Do not park near grass or other
flammab le materials which
mi ght catch fire.

TIPAir filter
This model’s air filter uses a disposable oil-coated paper element. This element cannot be cleaned with compressed
air, doing so will only damage it.
The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service Regularly check the front and rear brake fluid levels. Replenish if necessary.
Every two years replace the rear brake master cylinder, the internal components of the front brake master cylinder, the
brake calipers, and change the brake fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years or sooner if cracked or damaged.30 *Throttle g

En gine oil an d oil filter car-
tri dgeThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the en gine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes for the oil level to settle for an accurate reading.
4. Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe it clean, insert it back
into the hole (without screwing it
in), and then remove it again to
check the oil level.TIPThe engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
5. Check the dipstick O-ring fordamage, and replace it if neces-
sary.
6. If the engine oil is at or below the minimum level mark, remove the
engine oil filler cap, and then add
sufficient oil of the recommended
type to raise it to the correct level. 7. Check the filler cap O-ring for
damage, and replace it if neces-
sary.
8. Insert and tighten the engine oil dipstick, and then install and tight-
en the oil filler cap.
To chan ge the en gine oil (with or
without oil filter cartri dge replace-
ment) 1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face.
2. Remove cowlings A and B. (See page 7-9.)
3. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it
off.1. Engine oil dipstick

4. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
5. Remove the engine oil filler cap, the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIPSkip steps 6–12 if the oil filter cartridge
is not being replaced.6. Remove the shift arm bolt, andthen pull the shift arm off the shift
shaft.
TIPIf necessary, disconnect the shift
switch and connecting rod by loosen-
ing the bottom nut.
7. Remove the fuel tank overflowhose from the guides.
8. Remove the oil filter cartridge with an oil filter wrench.

TIPAn oil filter wrench is available at a
Yamaha dealer.9. Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter
cartridge.TIPMake sure that the O-ring is properly
seated.10. Install the new oil filter cartridge with an oil filter wrench, and then
tighten it to the specified torque
with a torque wrench. 11. Install the fuel tank overflow hose
into the guides, then place them in
their original position.
12. Install the shift arm by aligning the slot in the shift arm with the mark
on the shift shaft and installing the
shift arm bolt, then tightening it to
the specified torque. NOTICE: Be
sure to ali gn the slot an d mark
to ensure proper shiftin g. If the
slot an d mark are not ali gne d,
the shift arm will not move cor-
rectly an d you may not b e able
to shift up or down.

TIPBe sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.NOTICE
ECA11621
In or der to prevent clutch slip-
pa ge (since the en gine oil also
lu bricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a hi gh-
er quality than specifie d. In
a ddition, do not use oils lab eled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
hi gher.
Make sure that no forei gn mate-
rial enters the crankcase.
15. Check the filler cap O-ring for damage, and replace it if neces-
sary.
16. Install and tighten the oil filler cap.
17. Start the engine, and then let it idle for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.TIPAfter the engine is started, the engine
oil level warning light should go off if
the oil level is sufficient.NOTICE
ECA10402
If the oil level warnin g li ght flickers
or remains on even if the oil level is
correct, imme diately turn the en gine
off an d have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.18. Turn the engine off, and then check the oil level and correct it if
necessary.
19. Check the dipstick O-ring for damage, and replace it if neces-
sary.
20. Install the cowlings.

Why Yamalu beYAMALUBE oil is a Genuine YAMAHA
Part born of the engineers’ passion
and belief that engine oil is an impor-
tant liquid engine component. We form
teams of specialists in the fields of me-
chanical engineering, chemistry, elec-
tronics and track testing, and have
them develop the engine together with
the oil it will use. Yamalube oils take full
advantage of the base oil’s qualities
and blend in the ideal balance of addi-
tives to make sure the final oil clears
our performance standards. Thus,
Yamalube mineral, semisynthetic and
synthetic oils have their own distinct
characters and value. Yamaha’s expe-
rience gained over many years of re-
search and development into oil since
the 1960’s helps make Yamalube the
best choice for your Yamaha engine.
