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.
EAU03818*
Starting the 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.

WARNING_
� Before starting the engine,check the function of the igni-tion circuit cut-off system ac-cording to the proceduredescribed on page 3-20.

� 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. Ifthe warning light does not comeon when pushing the startswitch, or if it does not go off af-ter starting with sufficient fuel,have a Yamaha dealer check theelectrical circuit.

� 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).

� 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 anyhigh-speed riding to ride con-servatively for approximately100 km after installing a newtire.
� The tires must be warmed upbefore a high-speed run.
� Always adjust the tire air pres-sure according to the operatingconditions.
EAU03773
Cast 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 itto develop its optimal characteris-tics.

bserve these precautions:� When checking the fluid level,
make sure that the top of the brakefluid reservoir is level.
� Use only the recommended quali-ty brake fluid, otherwise the rubberseals may deteriorate, causingleakage and poor braking perfor-mance.
� Refill with the same type of brakefluid. Mixing fluids may result in aharmful chemical reaction andlead to poor braking performance.
� Be careful that water does not en-ter the brake fluid reservoir whenrefilling. Water will significantlylower the boiling point of the fluidand may result in vapor lock.
� Brake fluid may deteriorate paint-ed surfaces or plastic parts. Al-ways clean up spilled fluidimmediately.
� As the brake pads wear, it is nor-mal for the brake fluid level togradually go down. However, if thebrake fluid level goes down sud-denly, have a Yamaha dealercheck the cause.

er cleaningDry the motorcycle with a chamoisor an absorbing cloth.Immediately dry the drive chainand lubricate it to prevent it fromrusting.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.)To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all metal,including chrome- and nickel-plat-ed, surfaces.Use spray oil as a universal clean-er to remove any remaining dirt.Touch up minor paint damagecaused by stones, etc.Wax all painted surfaces.Let the motorcycle dry completelybefore storing or covering it.

a. Remove the spark plug caps andspark plugs.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oilinto each spark plug bore.
c. 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.)
d. Turn the engine over several timeswith the starter. (This will coat thecylinder walls with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug caps fromthe spark plugs, and then installthe spark plugs and the spark plugcaps.

ECA00014
AUTION:� Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cover-ing it with a tarp, while it is stillwet, will allow water and humid-ity to seep in and cause rust.
� To prevent corrosion, avoiddamp cellars, stables (becauseof the presence of ammonia)and areas where strong chemi-cals are stored.
Long-termBefore storing your motorcycle for sev-eral months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the“Care” section of this chapter.
2. For motorcycles equipped with afuel cock that has an “OFF” posi-tion: Turn the fuel cock lever to“OFF”.
3. Drain the carburetor float chamberby loosening the drain bolt; this willprevent fuel deposits from buildingup. Pour the drained fuel into thefuel tank.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuelstabilizer (if available) to preventthe fuel tank from rusting and thefuel from deteriorating.
5. Perform the following steps to pro-tect the cylinders, piston rings, etc.from corrosion.

Lubricate all control cables andthe pivoting points of all levers andpedals as well as of the sidestand/centerstand.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.Cover the muffler outlet with aplastic bag to prevent moisturefrom entering it.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.
