4-PRE-OPERATION CHECKSOwners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to deteriorate
quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak or
loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important that, in addition to a thorough visual in-
spection, you check the following points before each ride.
EAU00340
PRE-OPERATION CHECK LIST
ITEM CHECKS PAGE

51. Turn the main switch to “ON” and
the engine stop switch to “ ”.
EC000035
CAUTION:@ If the fuel indicator light comes on,
check the fuel level. If necessary, fill
the tank with fuel. @2. Shift the transmission into neutral.NOTE:@ When the transmission is in neutral, the
neutral indicator light should be on. If
the light does not come on, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect it. @3. Turn on the starter (choke) and
completely close the throttle grip.
4. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.
NOTE:@ If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, then
try again. Each attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the bat-
tery. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on any one attempt. @
EC000036
CAUTION:@ The oil level indicator light and fuel
indicator light should come on when
the start switch is pushed and
should go off when the start switch
is released. If the oil level indicator
light flickers or remains on, immedi-
ately stop the engine and check the
engine oil level and for oil leakage. If
necessary, fill the engine with oil
and check to see that the oil level in-
dicator light goes off. If not, consult
a Yamaha dealer. @
5. After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) to the halfway posi-
tion.NOTE:@ For maximum engine life, never accel-
erate hard with a cold engine! @6. After the engine is warm, turn off
the starter (choke) completely.NOTE:@ The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off. @

Engine oilOil level inspection
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it in an upright posi-
tion. Warm up the engine for seve-
ral minutes.NOTE:@ Be sure the motorcycle is positioned
straight up when checking the oil level.
A slight tilt toward the side can result in
false readings. @
2. With the engine stopped, check
the oil level through the level win-
dow located at the lower part of
the right side crankcase cover.NOTE:@ Wait a few minutes until the oil level
settles before checking. @3. The oil level should be between
maximum and minimum marks. If
the level is low, fill the engine with
sufficient oil to reach the specified
level.Engine oil and oil filter cartridge re-
placement
1. Remove cowling A. (See page 6-5
for removal and installation proce-
dures.)
2. Warm up the engine for several
minutes.
3. Stop the engine. Place an oil pan
under the engine and remove the
oil filler cap.
4. Remove the drain bolt and drain
the oil.

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.
