WARNINGBecome thoroughly familiarwith all operating controls andtheir functions before riding.Consult a Yamaha dealer re-garding any control or functionthat you do not thoroughlyunderstand.Never start the engine or oper-ate it in a closed area for anylength of time. Exhaust fumesare poisonous, and inhalingthem can cause loss of con-sciousness and death within ashort time. Always make surethat there is adequate ventila-tion.Before starting out, make surethat the sidestand is up. If thesidestand is not raised com-pletely, it could contact theground and distract the opera-tor, resulting in a possible lossof control.

EAU01627

Starting a cold engine In order for the ignition circuit cut-offsystem to enable starting, one of thefollowing conditions must be met:

● The transmission is in the neutralposition.

● The transmission is in gear withthe clutch lever pulled and thesidestand up.

EW000054

● If the oil level warning light flick-ers or remains on after starting,immediately stop the engine,and then check the engine oillevel and the vehicle for oil leak-age. If necessary, add engineoil, and then check the warninglight again. If the warning lightdoes not come on when push-ing the start switch, or if it does

not go off after starting with suf-ficient engine oil, have aYamaha dealer check the elec-trical circuit.

● If the fuel level warning light re-mains on after starting, stop theengine, and then check the fuellevel. If necessary, refuel assoon as possible, and thencheck the warning light again.

Tips for reducing fuel consumption Fuel consumption depends largely onyour riding style. Consider the followingtips to reduce fuel consumption:

● Thoroughly warm up the engine.● Turn the starter (choke) off as

soon as possible.● Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.● Do not rev the engine while shift-

ing down, and avoid high enginespeeds with no load on the engine.

● Turn the engine off instead of let-ting it idle for an extended lengthof time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traf-fic lights or at railroad crossings).

distilled water or soft tap waterinstead. Do not use hard wateror salt water since it is harmfulto the engine.

● If water has been used insteadof coolant, replace it with cool-ant as soon as possible, other-wise the engine may not besufficiently cooled and the cool-ing system will not be protectedagainst frost and corrosion.

● If water has been added to thecoolant, have a Yamaha dealercheck the antifreeze content ofthe coolant as soon as possible,otherwise the effectiveness ofthe coolant will be reduced.

. Connect the fuel level sensor cou-pler, connect the fuel hose to thefuel tank and fuel cock, turn thefuel cock lever to “ON”, and thenplace the fuel tank in the originalposition.

WARNING@

● Before installing the fuel tank,make sure that the fuel hosesare not damaged. If any fuelhose is damaged, do not startthe engine but have a Yamahadealer replace the hose, other-wise fuel may leak.

● Make sure that the fuel hosesare properly connected androuted, and not pinched.

WARNINGis motorcycle is fitted with super-

ment tires. Other tires may runthe danger of bursting at superhigh speeds.

● Brand-new tires can have a rela-tively poor grip on certain roadsurfaces until they have been“broken in”. Therefore, it is ad-visable before doing any high-speed riding to ride conserva-tively for approximately 100 kmafter installing a new tire.

● The tires must be warmed upbefore a high-speed run.

● Always adjust the tire air pres-sure according to the operatingconditions.

EAU00687

Wheels To maximize the performance, durabil-ity, and safe operation of your motor-cycle, note the following pointsregarding the specified wheels.

● The wheel rims should be checkedfor cracks, bends or warpage be-fore each ride. If any damage isfound, have a Yamaha dealer re-place the wheel. Do not attempteven the smallest repair to thewheel. A deformed or crackedwheel must be replaced.

● The wheel should be balancedwhenever either the tire or wheelhas been changed or replaced. Anunbalanced wheel can result inpoor performance, adverse han-dling characteristics, and a short-ened tire life.

● Ride at moderate speeds afterchanging a tire since the tire sur-face must first be “broken in” for it todevelop its optimal characteristics.

Avoid using strong acidic wheelcleaners, especially on spokedwheels. If such products areused on hard-to-remove dirt, donot leave the cleaner on the af-fected area any longer than in-structed. Also, thoroughly rinsethe area off with water, immedi-ately dry it, and then apply acorrosion protection spray.Improper cleaning can damagewindshields, cowlings, panelsand other plastic parts.

torcycle looking good, extend its life optimize its performance.

Before cleaning1. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag after the engine hascooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and coversas well as all electrical couplersand connectors, including thespark plug caps, are tightlyinstalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,like oil burnt onto the crankcase,with a degreasing agent and abrush, but never apply such prod-ucts onto seals, gaskets, sprock-ets, the drive chain and wheelaxles. Always rinse the dirt anddegreaser off with water.

● Do not use any harsh chemicalproducts on plastic parts. Besure to avoid using cloths orsponges which have been incontact with strong or abrasivecleaning products, solvent orthinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-movers or inhibitors, brake flu-id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

● Do not use high-pressure wash-ers or steam-jet cleaners sincethey cause water seepage anddeterioration in the following ar-eas: seals (of wheel and swing-arm bearings, fork and brakes),electric components (couplers,connectors, instruments, switch-es and lights), breather hosesand vents.

● For motorcycles equipped witha windshield: Do not use strongcleaners or hard sponges asthey will cause dulling orscratching. Some cleaningcompounds for plastic mayleave scratches on the wind-shield. Test the product on asmall hidden part of the wind-shield to make sure that it doesnot leave any marks. If the wind-shield is scratched, use a quali-ty plastic polishing compoundafter washing.

After normal useRemove dirt with warm water, a milddetergent, and a soft, clean sponge,and then rinse thoroughly with cleanwater. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrushfor hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirtand insects will come off more easily ifthe area is covered with a wet cloth fora few minutes before cleaning.

UTION: not use warm water since it in-ases the corrosive action of thet.

Apply a corrosion protection sprayon all metal, including chrome-and nickel-plated, surfaces to pre-vent corrosion.

After cleaning1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth.2. Immediately dry the drive chain

and lubricate it to prevent it fromrusting.

3. Use a chrome polish to shinechrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the exhaustsystem. (Even the thermally in-duced discoloring of stainless-steel exhaust systems can be re-moved through polishing.)

4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all metal,including chrome- and nickel-plat-ed, surfaces.

5. Use spray oil as a universal clean-er to remove any remaining dirt.

6. Touch up minor paint damagecaused by stones, etc.

8. Cover the muffler outlet with aplastic bag to prevent moisturefrom entering it.

9. Remove the battery and fullycharge it. Store it in a cool, dryplace and charge it once a month.Do not store the battery in an ex-cessively cold or warm place (lessthan 0 °C or more than 30 °C). Formore information on storing thebattery, see page 6-35.
