Starting a warm engineThe starter (choke) is not required
when the engine is warm.
EC000046
CAUTION:@ See the “Engine break-in” section
prior to operating the motorcycle for
the first time. @
EAU00423
ShiftingThe transmission lets you control the
amount of power you have available at
a given speed for starting, accelerating,
climbing hills, etc. The use of the shift
pedal is shown in the illustration.
To shift into neutral, depress the shift
pedal repeatedly until it reaches the
end of its travel, then raise the pedal
slightly.
EC000048
CAUTION:@ l
Do not coast for long periods
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle a long dis-
tance. Even with gears in neu-
tral, the transmission is only
properly lubricated when the
engine is running. Inadequate
lubrication may damage the
transmission.
l
Always use the clutch when
changing gears. The engine,
transmission, and driveline are
not designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting and can
be damaged by shifting without
using the clutch.

Recommended shift points
(for Switzerland only)The recommended shift points are
shown in the table below.CF-25ENOTE:@ When shifting two gears down from 4th
to 2nd, bring your motorcycle to a
speed of 35 km/h. @
EAU00424
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionYour motorcycle’s fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your
riding style. The following tips can help
reduce fuel consumption:l
Warm up the engine before riding.
l
Turn off the starter (choke) as
soon as possible.
l
Shift up swiftly and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
l
Do not double-clutch or rev the en-
gine while shifting down and avoid
high engine speeds with no load
on the engine.
l
Turn off the engine instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or railroad crossings.
EAU00436
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your motorcycle than the
period between zero and 1,000 km. For
this reason we ask that you carefully
read the following material. Because
the engine is brand new, you must not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1,000 km. The various parts in the en-
gine wear and polish themselves to the
correct operating clearances. During
this period, prolonged full throttle oper-
ation, or any condition which might re-
sult in excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.

NOTE:@ l
The air filter needs more frequent service if you are riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
l
Hydraulic brake and clutch systems
• After disassembling the master cylinder, caliper cylinder or clutch release cylinder, always replace the brake fluid.
Check the brake fluid level of the master cylinder and clutch release cylinder regularly and fill as required.
• Replace the oil seals on the inner parts of the master cylinder, caliper cylinder and clutch release cylinder every two
years.
• Replace the brake and clutch hoses every four years or if cracked or damaged.

CAUTION:@ l
Do not put in any chemical addi-
tives. Engine oil also lubricates
the clutch and additives could
cause clutch slippage.
l
Be sure no foreign material en-
ters the crankcase.

10. Start the engine and warm it up for
several minutes. While warming
up, check for oil leakage. If oil
leakage is found, stop the engine
immediately and check for the
cause.NOTE:@ After the engine is started, the oil level
indicator light should go off if the oil is at
the specified level. @
EC000067
CAUTION:@ If the indicator light flickers or re-
mains on, immediately stop the en-
gine and consult with a Yamaha
dealer. @11. Install the cowling stay and cowl-
ing.
EAU01594
CoolantCheck the coolant level in the reservoir
tank when the engine is cold. The cool-
ant level will vary with engine tempera-
ture. The coolant level is satisfactory if
it is between the minimum and maxi-
mum marks on the tank. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum mark,
fill with tap water (soft water) to bring
the level up to the maximum mark.
Have a Yamaha dealer change the
coolant every two years. Recommended oil:
See page 8-1.

Inspecting the brake fluid
levelInsufficient brake fluid may let air enter
the brake or clutch system, possibly
causing them to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid
is above the minimum level and fill
when necessary. Low brake fluid levels
may indicate worn brake pads and/or
brake system leakage. If the brake lev-
el is low, be sure to inspect the brake
pads for wear or brake system for leak-
age.Observe these precautions:
l
When checking the fluid level,
make sure the top of the master
cylinder is level by turning the han-
dlebars.
l
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake or clutch
performance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake or clutch perfor-
mance.

“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives which
will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage, resulting in
reduced component life and poor engine performance.
