EAU01258
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-26ENOTE:@ When shifting two gears down from 5th
to 3rd, 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.

68. Apply a light coat of engine oil to
the O-ring of the new oil filter.
NOTE:@ Make sure the O-ring is seated proper-
ly. @9. Install the oil filter and tighten it to
the specified torque with an oil fil-
ter wrench.NOTE:When installing the oil filter, tighten it to
the proper torque by using a torque
wrench.
10. Fill the engine with sufficient oil to
reach the specified level. Install
the oil filler cap and tighten it.
EC000066
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.

11. 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. @12. Install the cowling stay and cowl-
ing.

Clutch lever free play
adjustmentThe clutch lever free play should be ad-
justed to 10 ~ 15 mm. If the free play is
incorrect, adjust as follows.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting bolt at the
clutch lever in direction a
to in-
crease free play or in direction b
to decrease free play.
3. Tighten the locknut.
NOTE:@ If proper adjustment cannot be ob-
tained or the clutch does not work cor-
rectly, ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect
the internal clutch mechanism. @

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-fric-

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