Q GIVE SAFETY THE RIGHT OF WAY

Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and free-
dom. However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle
does not ignore the laws of physics.
1
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving value and operating condition of your
motorcycle. Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good performance
depends on being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of
course, out of the question. Motorcycle ridersmore than car driversmust always be at their men-
tal and physical best. Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to
take dangerous risks.

Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and pas-
sengers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic
materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum
protective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Although full-coverage helmets and
suits, in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulner-
able. Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances.
This is even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and
defensivelyavoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.

Enjoy your ride!

PRE-OPERATION CHECKS
The condition of a vehicle is the owners responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpect-
edly, even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leak-
age or loss of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thor-
ough visual inspection, to check the following points before each ride.

8 Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thorough-
ly understand.
8 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.
8 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.

Checking the spark plug
The spark plug is an important
engine component, which is easy to
check. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,
the spark plug should be removed
and checked in accordance with the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plug can reveal the condition of
the engine.
To remove the spark plug
1. Remove the spark plug cap.
1 NOTE:
1. Spark plug wrench
2. Remove the spark plug as
shown, with the spark plug
wrench included in the owners
tool kit.

To check the spark plug
1. Check that the porcelain insula-
of the spark plug is a medium-to-
light tan (the ideal color when the
motorcycle is ridden normally).
If the spark plug shows a distinctly
different color, the engine could be
defective. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
motorcycle.

2. Check the spark plug for elec-
trode erosion and excessive car-
bon or other deposits, and
replace it if necessary.

Wheels
To maximize the performance, dura-

regarding the specified wheels.
8 The wheel rims should be
checked for cracks, bends or
warpage, and the spokes for
looseness or damage before
each ride. If any damage is
found, have a Yamaha dealer
replace the wheel. Do not
attempt even the smallest repair
to the wheel. A deformed or
6
cracked wheel must be replaced.
8 The wheel should be balanced
whenever either the tire or wheel
has been changed or replaced.
An unbalanced wheel can result
in poor performance, adverse
handling characteristics, and a
shortened tire life.
8 Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-

Observe these precautions:
8 When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the
master cylinder is level by turn-
ing the handlebars.
8 Use only the recommended qual-
ity brake fluid, otherwise the rub-
ber seals may deteriorate, caus-
ing leakage and poor braking
performance.
Recommended brake fluid:
DOT 4
NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can
be used.
8 Refill with the same type of brake
fluid. Mixing fluids may result in a
harmful chemical reaction and
lead to poor braking perfor-
mance.
8 Be careful that water does not
enter the master cylinder when
refilling. Water will significantly
lower the boiling point of the fluid
and may result in vapor lock.
8 Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-
ed surfaces or plastic parts.
Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8 As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if
the brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha motorcycles

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

A. CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your
motorcycle will not only enhance its
appearance but will improve its gen-
eral performance and extend the use-
ful life of many components.
1. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with a garden hose.
EUU34602
cC
Excessive hose pressure may
cause water seepage and deterio-
ration of wheel bearings, front
fork, brakes, transmission seals
and electrical parts.
2. After cleaning the motorcycle,
dry all surfaces with a chamois,
clean towel, or soft absorbent
cloth.
MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE
3. Dry the chain and lubricate it to
prevent rust.
4. Automotive-type wax may be
applied to all painted and
chrome-plated surfaces. When
finished, start the engine and let
it idle for several minutes.

EAK00700
B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more)
of your motorcycle will require some
preventive procedures to guard
against deterioration. After thoroughly
cleaning the motorcycle, prepare for
storage as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines,
and carburetor float bowl(s).
2. Remove the empty fuel tank,
pour a cup of SAE 10W30 or
20W40 motor oil in the tank,
shake the tank to coat the inner
surfaces thoroughly and drain off
the excess oil. Reinstall the tank.

4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the
exhaust pipe outlet to prevent
moisture from entering.
7. If storing in a humid or salt-air
atmosphere, coat all exposed
metal surfaces with a light film of
oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber
7 parts or the seat cover.
8. Remove the battery and charge
it. Store it in a dry place and
recharge it once a month. Do not
store the battery in an excessive-
ly warm or cold place (less than
