EB001000
This manual was produced by the Yamaha Motor Company primarily for use by Yamaha
dealers and their qualified mechanics. It is not possible to include all the knowledge of a
mechanic in one manual, so it is assumed that anyone who uses this book to perform main-
tenance and repairs on Yamaha motorcycles has a basic understanding of the mechanical
ideas and the procedures of motorcycle repair. Repairs attempted by anyone without this
knowledge are likely to render the motorcycle unsafe and unfit for use.
Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd. is continually striving to improve all its models. Modifications
and significant changes in specifications or procedures will be forwarded to all authorized
Yamaha dealers and will appear in future editions of this manual where applicable.
NOTE:
Designs and specifications are subject to change without notice.
