TIP
 Air filter
• This model's air filter uses a disposable oil-coated paper element. This element cannot be cleaned with compressed
air, doing so will only damage it.
• The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
 Hydraulic brake service
• Regularly check the front and rear brake fluid levels. Replenish if necessary.
• Every two years replace the rear brake master cylinder, the internal components of the front brake master cylinder,
the brake calipers, and change the brake fluid.
• Replace the brake hoses every four years or sooner if cracked or damaged.
ROUTINE
• Apply Yamaha cable lubricant or
other suitable cable lubricant
thoroughly.
• Check operation.
• Check throttle grip free play, and
adjust if necessary.
• Lubricate cable and grip housing.
• Check operation.
• Adjust headlight beam.
