[. . . ] Fitting/Fasteners Alway check the tightness of chassis fittings and fasteners before a ride. Switches Check the operation of the starter switch, main switch, " Engine Stop" switch. Wheels To ensure maximum performance, long service, and safe operation, note the following: 1. Check for cracks, bends, or warpage of the wheel; be sure the spokes are tight and undamaged. If any abnormal condition exists in a wheel, consult a Yamaha dealer or other qualified mechanic. Tires and wheels should be balanced whenever either one is changed or replaced. Failure to have a wheel balanced can result in poor performance, adverse handling characteristics, and shortened tire life. After installing a tire, ride conservatively to allow the tire to seat itself on the rim properly. Failure to allow proper seating may cause tire failure, resulting in damage to the motorcycle and injury to the rider. 4-8 Fuel CAUTION: Always wipe off spilled fuel immediately with a dry and clean soft cloth. Recommended fuel: UNLEADED FUEL Fuel tank capacity: Total: 13. 0 L ( 2. 860 Imp gal, 3. 434 US gal) Reserve: 1. 7 L ( 0. 374 Imp gal, 0. 450 Us gal) 1. Filler tube Make sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank. WARNING: Do not overfill the fuel tank. Do not fill the fuel tank above the bottom of the filler tube as shown in the illustration or it may overflow when the fuel heats up later and expands. Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use regular unleaded gasoline with a pump octane number ([R+m]/2) of 86 or higher, or research octane number of 91 or higher. CAUTION: If the engine fail to start with the procedures above, try to start it again with the throttle grip opened 1/4 to 1/2. Warming up the engine For an extended engine life always warm the engine up never accelerate hard while the engine is cold. To check if engine temperature is normal, rev the engine with the choke closed and check to see if it responds normally. CAUTION: See the "Break-in section" prior to operating the motorcycle for the first time. 5-4 Shifting The transmission lets you control the amount of power you have available at a given speed for starting, accelerating, climbing hills, etc. To shift into NEUTRAL, depress the shift pedal repeatedly until it reaches the end of its travel (you will feel a stop when you are in first gear), then raise the pedal slightly. CAUTION: 1. Do not coast for long periods with the engine off, and do not tow the motorcycle a long distance. Even with gears in neutral, the transmission is only properly lubricated when the engine is running. The engine, transmission, and driveline are not designed to withstand the shock of forced shifting and can be damaged by shifting without using the clutch. 5-5 Tips for reducing fuel consumption Your motorcycle's fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your riding style. Do not double-clutch or rev the engine while shifting down and avoid high engine speeds with no load engine. Turn off the engine instead of letting it idle for an extended lenght of time, i. e. in traffic jams, at traffic lights or railroad crossings. Engine Break-in There is never a more important period in the life of your motorcycle than the period 1. 000Km. For this reason we ask that you carefully read the following material. [. . . ] Axle nut torque: 91 N. m ( 9. 1 Kgf. m, 66 lbf. ft) Tension bar nut: 19 N. m (1. 9 Kgf. m, 14 lbf. ft) 3. CAUTION: Check the operation of the brake light after adjusting the rear brake Troubleshooting Although Yamaha motorcycles receive a rigid inspection before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur during operation. Any problem in the fuel, compression, or ignition systems can cause poor starting and loss of power. The troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy, procedure for making checks. [. . . ]
