PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE
 In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of "CD" or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
"ENERGY CONSERVING II" or
higher.
 Make sure that no foreign mate-
6
rial enters the crankcase.
10. Start the engine, and then let it idle
for several minutes while checking
it for oil leakage. If oil is leaking,
immediately turn the engine off
and check for the cause.
TIP
After the engine is started, the engine
oil level warning light should go off if
the oil level is sufficient.

Final gear oil

The final gear case must be checked
for oil leakage before each ride. If any
leakage is found, have a Yamaha deal-
er check and repair the vehicle. In ad-
dition, the final gear oil level must be
checked and the oil changed as fol-
lows at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
WARNING
 Make sure that no foreign mate-
rial enters the final gear case.
 Make sure that no oil gets on
the tire or wheel.
To check the final gear oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand.
TIP
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking the
oil level. A slight tilt to the side can re-
sult in a false reading.
