This document is a service manual for the Yamaha R7, specifically models YZF690 and YZF690-U, for the 2022 model year. It serves as a comprehensive reference for mechanics, providing detailed instructions for all aspects of vehicle maintenance, repair, and assembly. The manual is structured to facilitate easy navigation and understanding, ensuring that technicians can efficiently perform necessary tasks.
The manual begins with an "IMPORTANT" section, emphasizing its intended use by qualified mechanics at Yamaha dealerships. It highlights that a basic understanding of mechanics and repair techniques for these types of vehicles is assumed. For fundamental instructions, users are directed to a separate "BASIC INFORMATION" volume. The importance of proper repair and maintenance work is stressed to ensure vehicle safety and fitness for use. Yamaha's commitment to continuous improvement is noted, with modifications and significant changes to be communicated to authorized dealers and incorporated into future editions of the manual. A "TIP" clarifies that a revision to the manual will result in an increment of the last digit of its number. It also points out that the manual contains information on periodic maintenance for the emission control system and that designs and specifications are subject to change without notice.
Following this, an "IMPORTANT MANUAL INFORMATION" section defines the various notations used throughout the manual to distinguish important information. The safety alert symbol (an exclamation mark within a triangle) is introduced as a warning for potential personal injury hazards, urging users to obey all safety messages to prevent injury or death. A "WARNING" indicates a hazardous situation that could lead to death or serious injury if not avoided. A "NOTICE" signifies special precautions to prevent damage to the vehicle or other property. Finally, a "TIP" provides key information to simplify procedures or make them clearer. The copyright information for the YZF690/YZF690-U Service Manual, published by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. in August 2021, is also provided, explicitly prohibiting unauthorized reproduction or use.
The "HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL" section details the organizational structure and conventions of the manual. It explains that the manual is designed as a handy, easy-to-read reference, with procedures laid out in sequential order. The manual is divided into chapters, which are further subdivided into sections. The current section title is displayed at the top of each page, and sub-section titles appear in smaller print. Exploded diagrams are used at the beginning of removal and disassembly sections to help identify parts and clarify procedure steps. Numbers in these diagrams indicate the order of jobs for disassembly. Symbols are used to indicate parts that require lubrication or replacement, with a reference to a dedicated "SYMBOLS" section for their definitions. A job instruction chart accompanies each exploded diagram, outlining the order of jobs, part names, and notes for removal and disassembly. For installation and assembly, the steps are to be reversed. Jobs requiring more detailed information, such as special tools or technical data, are described sequentially.
The "SYMBOLS" section provides a comprehensive list of symbols used in the manual for easier understanding. These symbols represent various actions, materials, or conditions relevant to servicing. Examples include symbols for "Serviceable with engine mounted," "Filling fluid," "Lubricant," "Special tool," "Tightening torque," "Wear limit, clearance," "Engine speed," "Electrical data," and "Engine oil." Specific symbols are also provided for different types of lubricants and agents, such as "Gear oil," "Molybdenum disulfide oil," "Brake fluid," "Wheel bearing grease," "Lithium-soap-based grease," "Molybdenum disulfide grease," "Silicone grease," and "Apply locking agent (LOCTITE®)." A "New" symbol indicates that a part should be replaced with a new one. The manual notes that not all symbols may be relevant to every vehicle.
The "TABLE OF CONTENTS" lists the main chapters of the manual: "GENERAL INFORMATION," "SPECIFICATIONS," "PERIODIC CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS," "CHASSIS," "ENGINE," "COOLING SYSTEM," "FUEL SYSTEM," "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM," and "SELF DIAGNOSTIC." Each chapter is assigned a number for easy reference.
The "GENERAL INFORMATION" chapter begins with "IDENTIFICATION," which covers the "VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER" and "MODEL LABEL." The vehicle identification number (VIN) is stamped on the right side of the steering head pipe, and the model label is affixed to the frame under the passenger seat. Both are crucial for ordering spare parts.
The "FEATURES" section within "GENERAL INFORMATION" describes the "MULTI-FUNCTION METER UNIT." This unit provides various displays, including transmission gear, speedometer, tachometer, fuel meter, clock, and a multi-function display, along with a quick shift indicator if equipped. The "SEL/RES" switch controls the multi-function meter.
The multi-function meter unit offers several usage features:
The multi-function meter unit also includes maintenance features related to display brightness and shift timing indicator light settings:
The "SPECIAL TOOLS" section lists necessary tools for complete and accurate tune-up and assembly, emphasizing the use of appropriate tools to prevent damage. It provides a table with tool names, tool numbers, illustrations, and reference pages within the manual where each tool is used. Examples include the Yamaha diagnostic tool (USB and A/I versions), thickness gauge, valve lapper, vacuum gauge, carburetor angle driver, steering nut wrench, oil filter wrench, pressure gauge, oil pressure adapter, fork spring compressor, rod holder, damper rod holder, and fork seal driver. This section is critical for ensuring that maintenance and repair tasks are performed correctly and safely.
