PRE-OPERATION CHECKS  
EAU15591  
The condition of a vehicle is the owners responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,  
even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss  
of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-  
tion, to check the following points before each ride.  
NOTE:  
Pre-operation checks should be made each time the vehicle is used. Such an inspection can be accomplished in a very short  
time; and the added safety it assures is more than worth the time involved.

system to enable starting, one of the  
following conditions must be met:  
G The transmission is in the neutral  
position.  
WARNING  
2. Shift the transmission into the neu-  
tral position.  
G Become thoroughly familiar  
with all operating controls and  
their functions before riding.  
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-  
garding any control or function  
that you do not thoroughly un-  
derstand.  
G Never start the engine or oper-  
ate it in a closed area for any  
length of time. Exhaust fumes  
are poisonous, and inhaling  
them can cause loss of con-  
sciousness and death within a  
short time. Always make sure  
that there is adequate ventila-  
tion.  
G Before starting out, make sure  
that the sidestand is up. If the  
sidestand is not raised com-  
pletely, it could contact the  
ground and distract the opera-  
tor, resulting in a possible loss  
of control.

Shifting  
CAUTION:  
CAUTION:  
For maximum engine life, always  
warm the engine up before starting  
off. Never accelerate hard when the  
engine is cold!  
G Even with the transmission in  
the neutral position, do not  
coast for long periods of time  
with the engine off, and do not  
tow the motorcycle for long dis-  
tances. The transmission is  
properly lubricated only when  
the engine is running. Inade-  
quate lubrication may damage  
the transmission.  
G Always use the clutch while  
changing gears to avoid damag-  
ing the engine, transmission,  
and drive train, which are not  
designed to withstand the  
shock of forced shifting.  
NOTE:  
The engine is warm when it quickly re-  
sponds to the throttle.

Engine break-in  
There 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 follow-  
ing 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.

Checking the spark plugsEAU19641  
The spark plugs are important engine  
components, which should be checked  
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha  
dealer. Since heat and deposits will  
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,  
they should be removed and checked  
in accordance with the periodic mainte-  
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,  
the condition of the spark plugs can re-  
veal the condition of the engine.  
Specified spark plug:  
NGK/CR8E  
DENSO/U24ESR-N  
Tightening torque:  
Spark plug:  
12.5 Nm (1.25 m·kgf, 9.0 ft·lbf)  
Before installing a spark plug, the spark  
plug gap should be measured with a  
wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,  
adjusted to specification.  
NOTE:  
If a torque wrench is not available when  
installing a spark plug, a good estimate  
of the correct torque is 1/41/2 turn  
past finger tight. However, the spark  
plug should be tightened to the speci-  
fied torque as soon as possible.  
The porcelain insulator around the cen-  
ter electrode of each spark plug should  
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color  
when the vehicle is ridden normally),  
and all spark plugs installed in the en-  
gine should have the same color. If any  
spark plug shows a distinctly different  
color, the engine could be defective. Do  
not attempt to diagnose such problems  
yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal-  
er check the vehicle.

your vehicle, such as handling,  
braking, performance and safety. Do  
not carry loosely packed items that  
can shift. Securely pack your heavi-  
est items close to the center of the  
vehicle, and distribute the weight  
evenly from side to side. Properly  
adjust the suspension for your load,  
and check the condition and pres-  
sure of your tires. NEVER OVER-  
LOAD YOUR VEHICLE. Make sure  
that the total weight of the cargo, rid-  
er, passenger, and accessories  
(cowling, saddlebags, etc. if ap-  
proved for this model) does not ex-  
ceed the maximum load of the  
vehicle. Operation of an overloaded  
vehicle could cause tire damage, an  
accident, or even injury.  
G It is dangerous to ride with a  
worn-out tire. When a tire tread  
begins to show crosswise lines,  
have a Yamaha dealer replace  
the tire immediately.  
G The replacement of all wheel-  
and brake-related parts, includ-  
ing the tires, should be left to a  
Yamaha dealer, who has the  
necessary professional knowl-  
edge and experience.

Troubleshooting  
Although Yamaha motorcycles receive  
a thorough inspection before shipment  
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-  
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,  
compression, or ignition systems, for  
example, can cause poor starting and  
loss of power.  
The following troubleshooting charts  
represent quick and easy procedures  
for checking these vital systems your-  
self. However, should your motorcycle  
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha  
dealer, whose skilled technicians have  
the necessary tools, experience, and  
know-how to service the motorcycle  
properly.  
6
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-  
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like  
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-  
or, have a shorter service life and can  
lead to expensive repair bills.

Care  
While the open design of a motorcycle  
reveals the attractiveness of the tech-  
nology, it also makes it more vulnera-  
ble. Rust and corrosion can develop  
even if high-quality components are  
used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un-  
noticed on a car, however, it detracts  
from the overall appearance of a motor-  
cycle. Frequent and proper care does  
not only comply with the terms of the  
warranty, but it will also keep your  
motorcycle looking good, extend its life  
and optimize its performance.  
G Do not use high-pressure wash-  
ers or steam-jet cleaners since  
they cause water seepage and  
deterioration in the following ar-  
eas: seals (of wheel and swing-  
arm bearings, fork and brakes),  
electric components (couplers,  
Cleaning  
CAUTION:  
ECA10770  
G Avoid using strong acidic wheel  
cleaners, especially on spoked  
wheels. If such products are  
used on hard-to-remove dirt, do  
not leave the cleaner on the af-  
fected area any longer than in-  
structed. Also, thoroughly rinse  
the area off with water, immedi-  
ately dry it, and then apply a cor-  
rosion protection spray.

G For motorcycles equipped with  
a windshield: Do not use strong  
cleaners or hard sponges as  
they will cause dulling or  
scratching. Some cleaning com-  
pounds for plastic may leave  
scratches on the windshield.  
Test the product on a small hid-

on salt-sprayed roads  
After cleaning  
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on roads  
during winter are extremely corrosive in  
combination with water, carry out the  
following steps after each ride in the  
rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed  
roads.  
1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois  
or an absorbing cloth.  
2. Use a chrome polish to shine  
chrome, aluminum and stainless-  
steel parts, including the exhaust  
system. (Even the thermally in-  
duced discoloring of stainless-  
steel exhaust systems can be re-  
moved through polishing.)  
3. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-  
mended to apply a corrosion pro-  
tection spray on all metal,  
including chrome- and nickel-plat-  
ed, surfaces.

YAMAHA EXTENDED SERVICE (Y.E.S.)  
Keep your Yamaha protected even after your warranty  
expires with genuine Yamaha Extended Service (Y.E.S.).  
In addition, Travel and Recreation Interruption Protection  
(TRIP) is included at no extra cost. TRIP gives you up to  
$150 reimbursement per occurrence for any reasonable  
expenses you incur because your Yamaha needs  
covered service: replacement vehicle rental, emergency  
towing, phone calls, even food and lodging when you are  
away from home. This superb coverage goes into effect  
when you purchase Y.E.S., so it applies to any warranty  
repairs as well as covered repairs during your entire  
Y.E.S. plan period.  
Y.E.S. is designed and administered by Yamaha Motor  
Corporation to provide maximum owner satisfaction. You  
get uninterrupted factory-backed coverage for extra  
peace of mind.  
Y.E.S. is flexible. You choose the plan that’s right for  
you: 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or, on certain  
models, even 48 months beyond your warranty period.  
Y.E.S. coverage is honored at any authorized Yamaha  
dealer nationwide.  
Y.E.S. is designed and administered by the same  
Yamaha people who handle your warranty – and it  
shows in the comprehensive coverage benefits. There  
are no mileage limitations. Coverage isn’t limited to  
“moving parts” or the “drive train” like many other plans.  
And Y.E.S. covers manufacturing defects just like the  
warranty. See the sample contract at your Yamaha  
dealer to see how comforting uninterrupted factory-  
backed protection can be.  
Y.E.S. coverage is transferable to a new owner if you  
sell or trade-in. That can make your Yamaha much more  
valuable!  
This excellent Y.E.S. plan coverage is only available to  
Yamaha owners like you, and only while your Yamaha is still  
within the Yamaha Limited Warranty period. So visit your  
authorized Yamaha dealer to get all the facts. He can show  
you how easy it is to protect your investment with Yamaha  
Extended Service.  
You don’t have to pay anything for covered repairs.  
There’s no deductible to pay, and repairs aren’t  
“pro-rated.” You don’t have any “out-of-pocket” expenses  
for covered repairs.
