Your Yamaha engine has been de-signed to use regular unleaded gaso-line with a pump octane number[(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a researchoctane number of 91 or higher. Ifknocking (or pinging) occurs, use agasoline of a different brand or premi-um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuelwill extend spark plug life and reducemaintenance costs.

GasoholThere are two types of gasohol: gaso-hol containing ethanol and that contain-ing methanol. Gasohol containingethanol can be used if the ethanol con-tent does not exceed 10%. Gasoholcontaining methanol is not recom-mended by Yamaha because it cancause damage to the fuel system or ve-hicle performance problems.

WARNINGBecome thoroughly familiarwith all operating controls andtheir functions before riding.Consult a Yamaha dealer re-garding any control or functionthat you do not thoroughly un-derstand.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.

iodically, preferably by a Yamahaler. Since heat and deposits willse any spark plug to slowly erode,y should be removed and checkedccordance with the periodic mainte-ce and lubrication chart. In addition,

condition of the spark plugs can re-l the condition of the engine. porcelain insulator around the cen-

electrode of each spark plug shoulda medium-to-light tan (the ideal col-

hen the motorcycle is ridden nor-lly), and all spark plugs installed in engine should have the same color.ny spark plug shows a distinctly dif-nt color, the engine could be defec-. Do not attempt to diagnose suchblems yourself. Instead, have a

ast wheels maximize the performance, durabil-, and safe operation of your motor-cle, note the following pointsgarding the specified wheels.� The wheel rims should be checked

for 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 itto develop its optimal characteris-tics.

torcycle. Frequent and proper cares not only comply with the terms ofwarranty, but it will also keep your

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 tightly in-stalled.

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.

r hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirtd insects will come off more easily if

e area is covered with a wet cloth forfew minutes before cleaning. Use theecial sponge, which is included in thestic bag containing the owner’s

anual, to clean the muffler and to re-ove any discoloration from it.

� 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 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, connectors, instruments, switches and lights), breather hoses and 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.

er riding in the rain, near the sea orsalt-sprayed roadsce sea salt or salt sprayed on roadsing winter are extremely corrosive inbination with water, carry out the

owing steps after each ride in the, near the sea or on salt-sprayedds.

TE:lt sprayed on roads in the winter mayain well into spring.

Clean the motorcycle with coldwater and a mild detergent, afterthe engine has cooled down.

ECA00012

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.

7. Wax all painted surfaces.8. Let the motorcycle dry completely

“Care” section of this chapter.. For motorcycles equipped with a

fuel cock that has an “OFF” posi-tion: Turn the fuel cock lever to“OFF”.

. Drain the carburetor float chamberby loosening the drain bolt; this willprevent fuel deposits from buildingup. Pour the drained fuel into thefuel tank.

. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuelstabilizer (if available) to preventthe fuel tank from rusting and thefuel from deteriorating.

AUTION:� Apply spray oil and wax spar-

ingly and make sure to wipe offany excess.

� Never apply oil or wax to anyrubber and plastic parts, buttreat them with a suitable careproduct.

Perform the following steps to pro-tect the cylinder, piston rings, etc.from corrosion.

. Remove the spark plug caps andspark plugs.

. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oilinto each spark plug bore.

. Install the spark plug caps onto thespark plugs, and then place thespark plugs on the cylinder headso that the electrodes are ground-ed. (This will limit sparking duringthe next step.)

. Turn the engine over several timeswith the starter. (This will coat thecylinder walls with oil.)

. Remove the spark plug caps fromthe spark plugs, and then installthe spark plugs and the spark plugcaps.

EWA00003

WARNING prevent damage or injury fromrking, make sure to ground therk plug electrodes while turning engine over.

6. Lubricate all control cables andthe pivoting points of all levers andpedals as well as of the sidestand/centerstand.

7. Check and, if necessary, correctthe tire air pressure, and then liftthe motorcycle so that both of itswheels are off the ground. Alterna-tively, turn the wheels a little everymonth in order to prevent the tiresfrom becoming degraded in onespot.

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