Pe
riodic inspection, adjustment, and
lubrication will keep your vehicle in the
safest and most efficient condition
possible. Safety is an obligation of the
vehicle owner/operator. The most im-
portant points of vehicle inspection,
adjustment, and lubrication are ex-
plained on the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic main-
tenance charts should be simply con-
sidered as a general guide under
normal riding conditions. However, de-
pending on the weather, terrain, geo-
graphical location, and individual use,
the maintenance intervals may need to
be shortened.
EWA10322
Failure to properly maintain the vehi-
cl
e or performing maintenance ac-
tivities incorrectly may increase your
risk of injury or death during service
or while using the vehicle. If you are
not familiar with vehicle service,
have a Yamaha dealer perform serv-
ice.
EWA15123
Turn off the engine when performing
maintenance unless otherwise
specified.
l A running engine has moving
parts that can catch on body
parts or clothing and electrical
parts that can cause shocks or
fires.
l Running the engine while servic-
ing can lead to eye injury, burns,
fire, or carbon monoxide poi-
soning – possibly leading to
death. See page 1-2 for more in-
formation about carbon monox-
ide.
EWA15461
Brake discs, calipers, drums, and lin-
in
gs can become very hot during
use. To avoid possible burns, let
brake components cool before
touching them.

Em
ission controls not only function to
ensure cleaner air, but are also vital to
proper engine operation and maximum
performance. In the following periodic
maintenance charts, the services relat-
ed to emissions control are grouped
separately. These services require spe-
cialized data, knowledge, and equip-
ment. Maintenance, replacement, or
repair of the emission control devices
and systems may be performed by any
repair establishment or individual that
is certified (if applicable). Yamaha deal-
ers are trained and equipped to per-
form these particular services.
