PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
Owners are personally responsible for their vehicles condition. Your motorcycles 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 inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

Engine break-in
There is never a more important
period in the life of your motorcycle than the period between zero
and 1,600 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 1,600 km. The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves to the correct operating
clearances. During this period, prolonged full throttle operation, or
any condition which might result in
excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.

Spark plug
Removal
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
2. Use the spark plug wrench in
the tool kit to remove the spark
plug as shown.
Inspection
The spark plug is an important
engine component and is easy to
inspect. The condition of the spark
plug can indicate the condition of
the engine.
The ideal color on the white insulator around the center electrode is a
medium-to-light tan color for a
motorcycle that is being ridden
normally.
Do not attempt to diagnose such
problems yourself. Instead, take
the motorcycle to a Yamaha dealer. You should periodically remove
and inspect the spark plug because
heat and deposits will cause any
spark plug to slowly break down
and erode. If electrode erosion
becomes excessive, or if carbon
and other deposits are excessive,
you should replace the spark plug
with the specified plug.
Specified spark plug:
DR8EA (NGK)
6-8
Tightening torque:
Spark plug:
17.5 Nm (1.75 mkg)
Installation
1. Measure the electrode gap
with a wire thickness gauge
and, if necessary, adjust the
gap to specification.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark
plug, a good estimate of the correct torque is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past
finger tight. Have the spark plug
tightened to the specified torque as
soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.
Engine oil
Oil level measurement
1. Place the motorcycle on a level
place and hold it in an upright
position. Warm up the engine
for several 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.

Tire inspection
Always check the tires before operating the motorcycle. If center
tread depth reaches the limit as
shown, if the tire has a nail or glass
fragments in it, or if the side wall is
cracked, contact a Yamaha dealer
immediately and have the tire
replaced.

Wheels
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation,
note the following:
8 Always inspect the wheels
before a ride. Check for cracks,
bends or warpage of the
wheel. Be sure the spokes are
tight and undamaged. If any
abnormal condition exists in a
wheel, consult a Yamaha dealer. Do not attempt even small
repairs to the wheel. If a wheel
is deformed or cracked, it must
be replaced.
8 Tires and wheels should be
balanced whenever either one
is changed or replaced. Failure
to have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteristics, and shortened tire life.

Apply the brake and inspect the
wear indicator.
If the indicator reaches the wear
limit line, ask a Yamaha dealer to

Steering inspection
Periodically inspect the condition
of the steering. Worn out or loose
steering bearings may be dangerous. Place a stand under the
engine to raise the front wheel off
the ground. Hold the lower end of
the front forks and try to move
them forward and backward. If any
free play can be felt, ask a Yamaha
dealer to inspect and adjust the
steering. Inspection is easier if the
front wheel is removed.

Fuse replacement
The fuse is located behind panel B.
(See page 6-7 for panel removal
and installation procedures.)
If the fuse is blown, turn off the
main switch and the switch of the
circuit in question. Install a new
fuse of proper amperage. Turn on
the switches and see if the electrical device operates. If the fuse
immediately blows again, consult a
Yamaha dealer.

Before cleaning
1. Cover up the muffler outlet
with a plastic bag.
2. Make sure that all caps and
covers as well as all electrical
couplers
and
connectors,
including the spark plug cap,
are tightly installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn
dirt, like oil burnt onto the
crankcase, with a degreasing
agent and a brush, but never
apply such products onto
seals, gaskets, sprockets, the
drive chain and wheel axles.
Always rinse the dirt and
degreaser off with water.

Cleaning
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a
neutral detergent and a soft clean
sponge, then rinse with plenty of
clean water. Use a tooth or bottle
brush for hard-to-reach parts.
Tougher dirt and insects will come
off more easily if the area is covered with a wet cloth for a few
minutes before cleaning.

After cleaning
1. Dry the motorcycle with a
chamois or an absorbing cloth.
2. Immediately dry the drive
chain and lubricate it to prevent it from rusting.
3. Use a chrome polish to shine
chrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the
exhaust system. (Even the
thermally induced discoloring
of stainless-steel exhaust systems can be removed through
polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is recommended to apply a corrosion protection spray on all
(even chrome- and nickel-plated) metal surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner to remove any remaining dirt.
6. Touch up minor paint damage
caused by stones, etc.
7. Wax all painted surfaces.
cC
8 Apply spray oil and wax sparingly and wipe off any excess.
8 Never apply oil or wax on rubber and plastic parts, but treat
them with a suitable care
product.
8 Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they wear
away the paint.

Long-term
Before storing your motorcycle for
several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in
the Care section of this
chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float
chamber by loosening the
drain bolt; this will prevent fuel
deposits from building up.
Pour the drained fuel into the
fuel tank.
3. Only for motorcycles equipped
with a fuel cock which has an
OFF position: Turn the fuel
cock to OFF.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add
fuel stabilizer (if available) to
prevent the fuel tank from rusting and the fuel from deteriorating.
5. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston
rings, etc. from corrosion.
a. Remove the spark plug cap
and spark plug.

Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-friction
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.
