OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time (e.g., in traffic jams, at
traffic lights or at railroad cros-
sings).

Engine break-in

There is never a more important
period in the life of your engine than
the period between 0 and 1600 km
(1000 mi). For this reason, you should
read the following material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts
in the engine wear and polish them-
selves to the correct operating clea-
rances. During this period, prolonged
5-3
EAU16820 full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
0~1000 km (0~600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
1000~1600 km (600~1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/2
throttle.
CAUTION:
After 1000 km (600 mi) of operation,
be sure to replace the engine oil
and final transmission oil.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
EAU16841
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
CAUTION:
If any engine trouble should occur
during the engine break-in period,
immediately have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
