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.

6. Remove the air filter from its guide
and clean it with solvent. After
cleaning, squeeze the air filter to
remove the remaining solvent.7. Apply recommended oil to the en-
tire surface of the filter and
squeeze out the excess oil. The air
filter should be wet but not drip-
ping.
EC000082
CAUTION:@ l
Make sure the air filter is prop-
erly seated in the air filter case.
l
The engine should never be run
without the air filter installed.
Excessive piston and/or cylin-
der wear may result.
@8. Reverse the removal procedures
for installation.

l
Use only the designated quality
brake fluid. Otherwise, the rubber
seals may deteriorate, causing
leakage and poor brake perfor-
mance.
l
Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor brake performance.
l
Be careful that water does not en-
ter the master cylinder when refill-
ing. Water will significantly lower
the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.
l
Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-
ways clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
l
Have a Yamaha dealer check the
cause if the brake fluid level goes
down.
EAU00742
Brake fluid replacementThe brake fluid should be replaced only
by trained Yamaha service personnel.
Have the Yamaha dealer replace the
following components during periodic
maintenance or when they are dam-
aged or leaking:l
oil seals (every two years)
l
brake hoses (every four years)

Drive chain lubricationThe chain consists of many parts which
work with each other. If the chain is not
maintained properly, it will wear out
quickly. Therefore, the chain must be
serviced regularly. This service is es-
pecially necessary when riding in dusty
areas. This motorcycle is equipped
with a sealed type chain. Steam clean-
ing, high-pressure washers, and sol-
vents can damage the drive chain, so
do not use these for cleaning it. Use
only kerosene to clean the drive chain.
Wipe it dry, and thoroughly lubricate it
with SAE 30 ~ 50W motor oil. Do not
use any other lubricants on the drive
chain. They may contain solvents that
could damage the sealed chain.
EC000097
CAUTION:@ Be sure to oil the chain after wash-
ing the motorcycle or riding in the
rain. @

Cable inspection and
lubrication
EW000112
WA R N I N G
@ Damage to the outer housing of ca-
bles may lead to internal rusting and
interfere with the cable movement.
Replace damaged cables as soon as
possible to prevent unsafe condi-
tions. @Lubricate the cables and cable ends. If
a cable does not operate smoothly, ask
a Yamaha dealer to replace it.
EAU00773
Throttle cable and grip
lubricationThe throttle twist grip assembly should
be greased at the time that the cable is
lubricated, since the grip must be re-
moved to get at the end of the throttle
cable. After removing the screws, hold
the end of the cable up in the air and
put in several drops of lubricant. With
the throttle grip disassembled, coat the
metal surface of the grip assembly with
a suitable all-purpose grease.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil

EW000115
WA R N I N G
@ Securely support the motorcycle so
there is no danger of it falling over. @Check for scratches or damage on the
inner tube and excessive oil leakage
from the front fork.
Operation check
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place.
2. Hold the motorcycle in an upright
position and apply the front brake.
3. Push down hard on the handle-
bars several times and check if the
fork rebounds smoothly.
EC000098
CAUTION:@ If any damage or unsmooth move-
ment is found with the front fork,
consult a Yamaha dealer. @
Recommended lubricant:
Molybdenum disulfide grease

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-fric-
tion modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often labeled
“Energy Conserving”) contain anti-friction additives
which will cause clutch and/or starter clutch slippage,
resulting in reduced component life and poor engine
performance.
