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 a level surfa-
ce and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.
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.
