SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU10289

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicle’s owner, you are respon-

sible for the safe and proper operation

of your motorcycle.

Motorcycles are single-track vehicles.

Their safe use and operation are de-

pendent upon the use of proper riding

techniques as well as the expertise of

the operator. Every operator should

know the following requirements before

riding this motorcycle.

He or she should:

● Obtain thorough instructions from

a competent source on all aspects

of motorcycle operation.

● Observe the warnings and mainte-

nance requirements in this Own-

er’s Manual.

● Obtain qualified training in safe

and proper riding techniques.

● Obtain professional technical ser-

vice as indicated in this Owner’s

Manual and/or when made neces-

sary by mechanical conditions.

Safe Riding

Perform the pre-operation checks each

time you use the vehicle to make sure it

is in safe operating condition. Failure to

inspect or maintain the vehicle properly

increases the possibility of an accident

or equipment damage. See page 4-1

for a list of pre-operation checks.

● This motorcycle is designed to car-

ry the operator and a passenger.

● The failure of motorists to detect

and recognize motorcycles in traf-

fic is the predominating cause of

automobile/motorcycle accidents.

Many accidents have been caused

by an automobile driver who did

not see the motorcycle. Making

yourself conspicuous appears to

be very effective in reducing the

chance of this type of accident.

Therefore:

• Wear a brightly colored jacket.

• Use extra caution when you are

approaching and passing

through intersections, since in-

tersections are the most likely

places for motorcycle accidents

to occur.

• Ride where other motorists can

see you. Avoid riding in another

motorist’s blind spot.

● Many accidents involve inexperi-

enced operators. In fact, many op-

erators who have been involved in

accidents do not even have a cur-

rent motorcycle license.

• Make sure that you are qualified

and that you only lend your mo-

torcycle to other qualified opera-

tors.

• Know your skills and limits.

Staying within your limits may

help you to avoid an accident.

• We recommend that you prac-

tice riding your motorcycle

where there is no traffic until you

have become thoroughly famil-

iar with the motorcycle and all of

its controls.

● Many accidents have been caused

by error of the motorcycle opera-

tor. A typical error made by the op-

erator is veering wide on a turn

U1CAE1E0.book Page 1 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 5:02 PM

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-2

due to excessive speed or under-

cornering (insufficient lean angle

for the speed).

• Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant-

ed by road and traffic conditions.

• Always signal before turning or

changing lanes. Make sure that

other motorists can see you.

● The posture of the operator and

passenger is important for proper

control.

• The operator should keep both

hands on the handlebar and

both feet on the operator foot-

rests during operation to main-

tain control of the motorcycle.

• The passenger should always

hold onto the operator, the seat

strap or grab bar, if equipped,

with both hands and keep both

feet on the passenger footrests.

Never carry a passenger unless

he or she can firmly place both

feet on the passenger footrests.

● Never ride under the influence of

alcohol or other drugs.

● This motorcycle is designed for on-

road use only. It is not suitable for

off-road use.

Protective Apparel

The majority of fatalities from motorcy-

cle accidents are the result of head in-

juries. The use of a safety helmet is the

single most critical factor in the preven-

tion or reduction of head injuries.

● Always wear an approved helmet.

● Wear a face shield or goggles.

Wind in your unprotected eyes

could contribute to an impairment

of vision that could delay seeing a

hazard.

● The use of a jacket, heavy boots,

trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in

preventing or reducing abrasions

or lacerations.

● Never wear loose-fitting clothes,

otherwise they could catch on the

control levers, footrests, or wheels

and cause injury or an accident.

● Always wear protective clothing

that covers your legs, ankles, and

feet. The engine or exhaust sys-

tem become very hot during or af-

ter operation and can cause burns.

● A passenger should also observe

the above precautions.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon

monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-

bon monoxide can cause headaches,

dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-

sion, and eventually death.

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor-

less, tasteless gas which may be

present even if you do not see or smell

any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of

carbon monoxide can collect rapidly

and you can quickly be overcome and

unable to save yourself. Also, deadly

levels of carbon monoxide can linger

for hours or days in enclosed or poorly

ventilated areas. If you experience any

symptoms of carbon monoxide poison-

ing, leave the area immediately, get

fresh air, and SEEK MEDICAL TREAT-

MENT.

● Do not run engine indoors. Even if

you try to ventilate engine exhaust

with fans or open windows and

doors, carbon monoxide can rap-

idly reach dangerous levels.

U1CAE1E0.book Page 2 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 5:02 PM

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-3

● Do not run engine in poorly venti-

lated or partially enclosed areas

such as barns, garages, or car-

ports.

● Do not run engine outdoors where

engine exhaust can be drawn into

a building through openings such

as windows and doors.

Adding accessories or cargo to your

motorcycle can adversely affect stabili-

ty and handling if the weight distribution

of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid

the possibility of an accident, use ex-

treme caution when adding cargo or

accessories to your motorcycle. Use

extra care when riding a motorcycle

that has added cargo or accessories.

Here, along with the information about

accessories below, are some general

guidelines to follow if loading cargo to

your motorcycle:

The total weight of the operator, pas-

senger, accessories and cargo must

not exceed the maximum load limit.

Operation of an overloaded vehicle

could cause an accident.

When loading within this weight limit,

keep the following in mind:

● Cargo and accessory weight

should be kept as low and close to

the motorcycle as possible. Se-

curely pack your heaviest items as

close to the center of the vehicle as

possible and make sure to distrib-

ute the weight as evenly as possi-

ble on both sides of the motorcycle

to minimize imbalance or instabili-

ty.

● Shifting weights can create a sud-

den imbalance. Make sure that ac-

cessories and cargo are securely

attached to the motorcycle before

riding. Check accessory mounts

and cargo restraints frequently.

• Properly adjust the suspension

for your load (suspension-ad-

justable models only), and

check the condition and pres-

sure of your tires.

• Never attach any large or heavy

items to the handlebar, front

fork, or front fender. These

items, including such cargo as

sleeping bags, duffel bags, or

tents, can create unstable han-

dling or a slow steering re-

sponse.

● This vehicle is not designed to

pull a trailer or to be attached to

a sidecar.

Genuine Yamaha Accessories

Choosing accessories for your vehicle

is an important decision. Genuine

Yamaha accessories, which are avail-

able only from a Yamaha dealer, have

been designed, tested, and approved

by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.

Many companies with no connection to

Yamaha manufacture parts and acces-

sories or offer other modifications for

Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in a

position to test the products that these

aftermarket companies produce.

Therefore, Yamaha can neither en-

dorse nor recommend the use of ac-

cessories not sold by Yamaha or

modifications not specifically recom-

mended by Yamaha, even if sold and

installed by a Yamaha dealer.

Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and

Modifications

While you may find aftermarket prod-

ucts similar in design and quality to

genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-

nize that some aftermarket accessories

or modifications are not suitable be-

cause of potential safety hazards to you

or others. Installing aftermarket prod-

ucts or having other modifications per-

formed to your vehicle that change any

of the vehicle’s design or operation

characteristics can put you and others

at greater risk of serious injury or death.

You are responsible for injuries related

to changes in the vehicle.

Keep the following guidelines in mind,

as well as those provided under “Load-

ing” when mounting accessories.

● Never install accessories or carry

cargo that would impair the perfor-

mance of your motorcycle. Care-

fully inspect the accessory before

using it to make sure that it does

not in any way reduce ground

clearance or cornering clearance,

limit suspension travel, steering

travel or control operation, or ob-

scure lights or reflectors.

• Accessories fitted to the handle-

bar or the front fork area can

create instability due to improper

weight distribution or aerody-

namic changes. If accessories

are added to the handlebar or

front fork area, they must be as

lightweight as possible and

should be kept to a minimum.

• Bulky or large accessories may

seriously affect the stability of

the motorcycle due to aerody-

namic effects. Wind may at-

tempt to lift the motorcycle, or

the motorcycle may become un-

stable in cross winds. These ac-

cessories may also cause

instability when passing or being

passed by large vehicles.

• Certain accessories can dis-

place the operator from his or

her normal riding position. This

improper position limits the free-

dom of movement of the opera-

tor and may limit control ability,

therefore, such accessories are

not recommended.

● Use caution when adding electri-

cal accessories. If electrical acces-

sories exceed the capacity of the

motorcycle’s electrical system, an

electric failure could result, which

could cause a dangerous loss of

lights or engine power.

Aftermarket Tires and Rims

The tires and rims that came with your

motorcycle were designed to match the

performance capabilities and to provide

the best combination of handling, brak-

ing, and comfort. Other tires, rims, siz-

es, and combinations may not be

appropriate. Refer to page 6-18 for tire

specifications and more information on

replacing your tires.

Transporting the Motorcycle

Be sure to observe following instruc-

tions before transporting the motorcy-

cle in another vehicle.

● Remove all loose items from the

motorcycle.

U1CAE1E0.book Page 4 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 5:02 PM

SAFETY INFORMATION

1-5

● Check that the fuel cock (if

equipped) is in the “OFF” position

and that there are no fuel leaks.

● Point the front wheel straight

ahead on the trailer or in the truck

bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-

vent movement.

● Shift the transmission in gear (for

models with a manual transmis-

sion).

● Secure the motorcycle with tie-

downs or suitable straps that are

attached to solid parts of the mo-

torcycle, such as the frame or up-

per front fork triple clamp (and not,

for example, to rubber-mounted

handlebars or turn signals, or parts

that could break). Choose the lo-

cation for the straps carefully so

the straps will not rub against

painted surfaces during transport.

● The suspension should be com-

pressed somewhat by the tie-

downs, if possible, so that the mo-

torcycle will not bounce excessive-

ly during transport.

Immobilizer system

This vehicle is equipped with an immo-

bilizer system to help prevent theft by

re-registering codes in the standard

keys. This system consists of the fol-

lowing:

● a code re-registering key (with a

red bow)

● two standard keys (with a black

bow) that can be re-registered with

new codes

● a transponder (which is installed in

the code re-registering key)

● an immobilizer unit

● an ECU

● an immobilizer system indicator

light (See page 3-7.)

The key with the red bow is used to reg-

ister codes in each standard key. Since

re-registering is a difficult process, take

the vehicle along with all three keys to

a Yamaha dealer to have them re-reg-

istered. Do not use the key with the red

bow for driving. It should only be used

for re-registering the standard keys. Al-

ways use a standard key for driving.

NOTICE

ECA11821

● DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-

REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT

YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY

IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-

istering key is lost, registering

new codes in the standard keys

is impossible. The standard

keys can still be used to start

the vehicle, however if code re-

registering is required (i.e., if a

new standard key is made or all

keys are lost) the entire immobi-

lizer system must be replaced.

Therefore, it is highly recom-

mended to use either standard

key and keep the code re-regis-

tering key in a safe place.

● Do not submerse any key in wa-

ter.

● Do not expose any key to exces-

sively high temperatures.

● Do not place any key close to

magnets (this includes, but not

limited to, products such as

speakers, etc.).

● Do not place items that transmit

electrical signals close to any

key.

● Do not place heavy items on any

key.

● Do not grind any key or alter its

shape.

● Do not disassemble the plastic

part of any key.

● Do not put two keys of any im-

mobilizer system on the same

key ring.

● Keep the standard keys as well

as keys of other immobilizer

systems away from this vehi-

cle’s code re-registering key.

ahead to match the riding

speed.

TIP

● When the ABS is activated, the

brakes are operated in the usual

way. A pulsating action may be felt

at the brake lever or brake pedal,

clothes dryers.

2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When

refueling, be sure to insert the

pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler

hole. Stop filling when the fuel

reaches the bottom of the filler

tube. Because fuel expands when

it heats up, heat from the engine or

the sun can cause fuel to spill out

of the fuel tank.

3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-

ately. NOTICE: Immediately wipe

off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,

soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-

orate painted surfaces or plastic

parts.

Tips for reducing fuel con-

sumption

Fuel consumption depends largely on

your riding style. Consider the following

tips to reduce fuel consumption:

● Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.

● Do not rev the engine while shifting

down, and 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 crossings).

EAU16841

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 follow-

ing 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 themselves

to the correct operating clearances.

During this period, prolonged full-throt-

tle operation or any condition that might

result in engine overheating must be

avoided.

EAU17093

0–1000 km (0–600 mi)

Avoid prolonged operation above 6000

r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600

mi) of operation, the engine oil must

be changed and the oil filter car-

tridge or element replaced.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

6-1

EAU17244

Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lu-

brication will keep your vehicle in the

safest and most efficient condition pos-

sible. Safety is an obligation of the vehi-

cle owner/operator. The most important

points of vehicle inspection, adjust-

ment, and lubrication are explained on

the following pages.

The intervals given in the periodic

maintenance charts should be simply

considered as a general guide under

normal riding conditions. However, de-

pending on the weather, terrain, geo-

graphical location, and individual use,

the maintenance intervals may need to

be shortened.

WARNING

EWA10321

Failure to properly maintain the ve-

hicle or performing maintenance ac-

tivities incorrectly may increase

your risk of injury or death during

service or while using the vehicle. If

you are not familiar with vehicle ser-

vice, have a Yamaha dealer perform

service.

WARNING

EWA15122

maintenance unless otherwise

specified.

● A running engine has moving

parts that can catch on body

parts or clothing and electrical

parts that can cause shocks or

fires.

● Running the engine while ser-

vicing can lead to eye injury,

burns, fire, or carbon monoxide

poisoning – possibly leading to

death. See page 1-2 for more in-

formation about carbon monox-

ide.

WARNING

EWA15460

Brake discs, calipers, drums, and

linings can become very hot during

use. To avoid possible burns, let

brake components cool before

touching them.

Emission controls not only function to

ensure cleaner air, but are also vital to

proper engine operation and maximum

performance. In the following periodic

maintenance charts, the services relat-

ed to emissions control are grouped

separately. These services require

specialized data, knowledge, and

equipment. Maintenance, replacement,

or repair of the emission control devic-

es and systems may be performed by

• This model’s air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with com-

pressed air to avoid damaging it.

• The air filter element needs to be replaced more frequently when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.

● Hydraulic brake service

• Regularly check and, if necessary, correct the brake fluid level.

• Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylinders and calipers, and change the brake

fluid.

• Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.

Checking the spark plugs

The spark plugs are important engine

components, which should be checked

periodically, preferably by a Yamaha

dealer. Since heat and deposits will

cause any spark plug to slowly erode,

they should be removed and checked

in accordance with the periodic mainte-

nance and lubrication chart. In addition,

the condition of the spark plugs can re-

veal the condition of the engine.

The porcelain insulator around the cen-

ter electrode of each spark plug should

be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color

when the vehicle is ridden normally),

and all spark plugs installed in the en-

gine should have the same color. If any

spark plug shows a distinctly different

color, the engine could be operating im-

properly. Do not attempt to diagnose

such problems yourself. Instead, have

a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.

If a spark plug shows signs of electrode

erosion and excessive carbon or other

deposits, it should be replaced.

Before installing a spark plug, the spark

plug gap should be measured with a

wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,

adjusted to specification.

Clean the surface of the spark plug

gasket and its mating surface, and then

wipe off any grime from the spark plug

threads.

TIP

If a torque wrench is not available when

installing a spark plug, a good estimate

of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn

past finger tight. However, the spark

plug should be tightened to the speci-

fied torque as soon as possible.

NOTICE

ECA10840

Do not use any tools to remove or in-

stall the spark plug cap, otherwise

the ignition coil coupler may get

damaged. The spark plug cap may

be difficult to remove because the

rubber seal on the end of the cap fits

tightly. To remove the spark plug

cap, simply twist it back and forth

while pulling it out; to install it, twist

it back and forth while pushing it in.

● Brand-new tires can have a rela-

tively poor grip on certain road

surfaces until they have been

“broken in”. Therefore, it is ad-

visable before doing any high-

speed riding to ride conserva-

tively for approximately 100 km

(60 mi) after installing a new tire.

● The tires must be warmed up

before a high-speed run.

WARNING

EWA16010

Improper maintenance can result in

loss of braking ability. Observe

these precautions:

● Insufficient brake fluid may al-

low air to enter the brake sys-

tem, reducing braking

performance.

● Clean the filler cap before re-

moving. Use only DOT 4 brake

fluid from a sealed container.

● Use only the specified brake flu-

id; otherwise, the rubber seals

may deteriorate, causing leak-

age.

● Refill with the same type of

brake fluid. Adding a brake fluid

other than DOT 4 may result in a

harmful chemical reaction.

● Be careful that water or dust

does not enter the brake fluid

reservoir when refilling. Water

will significantly lower the boil-

ing point of the fluid and may re-

sult in vapor lock, and dirt may

clog the ABS hydraulic unit

valves.

NOTICE

ECA17640

Brake fluid may damage painted sur-

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha motorcycles receive

a thorough inspection before shipment

from the factory, trouble may occur dur-

ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,

compression, or ignition systems, for

example, can cause poor starting and

loss of power.

The following troubleshooting charts

represent quick and easy procedures

for checking these vital systems your-

self. However, should your motorcycle

require any repair, take it to a Yamaha

dealer, whose skilled technicians have

the necessary tools, experience, and

know-how to service the motorcycle

properly.

Use only genuine Yamaha replace-

ment parts. Imitation parts may look like

Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-

or, have a shorter service life and can

lead to expensive repair bills.

WARNING

EWA15141

When checking the fuel system, do

not smoke, and make sure there are

no open flames or sparks in the ar-

ea, including pilot lights from water

heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or

gasoline vapors can ignite or ex-

plode, causing severe injury or

● Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be

blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.

● Place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the de-

tent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissing sound has stopped, press down on the cap

while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.

Some models are equipped with

matte colored finished parts. Be

sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for

advice on what products to use be-

cleaning compounds when cleaning

these parts will scratch or damage

their surface. Wax also should not

be applied to any matte colored fin-

ished parts.

EAU26014

Care

While the open design of a motorcycle

reveals the attractiveness of the tech-

nology, it also makes it more vulnera-

ble. Rust and corrosion can develop

even if high-quality components are

used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go un-

noticed on a car, however, it detracts

from the overall appearance of a motor-

cycle. Frequent and proper care does

not only comply with the terms of the

warranty, but it will also keep your mo-

torcycle looking good, extend its life

and optimize its performance.

Before cleaning

1. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag after the engine has

cooled down.

2. Make sure that all caps and covers

as well as all electrical couplers

and connectors, including the

spark plug caps, are tightly in-

stalled.

3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,

like oil burnt onto the crankcase,

with a degreasing agent and a

brush, but never apply such prod-

ucts onto seals, gaskets, sprock-

ets, the drive chain and wheel

axles. Always rinse the dirt and de-

greaser off with water.

Cleaning

NOTICE

ECA10772

● Avoid using strong acidic wheel

cleaners, especially on spoked

wheels. If such products are

used on hard-to-remove dirt, do

not leave the cleaner on the af-

fected area any longer than in-

structed. Also, thoroughly rinse

the area off with water, immedi-

ately dry it, and then apply a cor-

rosion protection spray.

● Improper cleaning can damage

plastic parts (such as cowlings,

panels, windshields, headlight

lenses, meter lenses, etc.) and

the mufflers. Use only a soft,

clean cloth or sponge with wa-

ter to clean plastic. However, if

the plastic parts cannot be thor-

oughly cleaned with water, di-

luted mild detergent with water

may be used. Be sure to rinse

U1CAE1E0.book Page 1 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 5:02 PM

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

off any detergent residue using

plenty of water, as it is harmful

to plastic parts.

● Do not use any harsh chemical

products on plastic parts. Be

sure to avoid using cloths or

sponges which have been in

contact with strong or abrasive

cleaning products, solvent or

thinner, fuel (gasoline), rust re-

movers or inhibitors, brake flu-

id, antifreeze or electrolyte.

● Do not use high-pressure wash-

ers or steam-jet cleaners since

they cause water seepage and

deterioration in the following ar-

eas: seals (of wheel and swing-

arm bearings, fork and brakes),

electric components (couplers,

connectors, instruments,

switches and lights), breather

hoses and vents.

● For motorcycles equipped with

a windshield: Do not use strong

cleaners or hard sponges as

they will cause dulling or

scratching. Some cleaning com-

pounds for plastic may leave

scratches on the windshield.

Test the product on a small hid-

den part of the windshield to

make sure that it does not leave

any marks. If the windshield is

scratched, use a quality plastic

polishing compound after

washing.

After normal use

Remove dirt with warm water, a mild

detergent, and a soft, clean sponge,

and then rinse thoroughly with clean

water. Use a toothbrush or bottlebrush

for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn dirt

and insects will come off more easily if

the area is covered with a wet cloth for

a few minutes before cleaning.

After riding in the rain, near the sea or

on salt-sprayed roads

Since sea salt or salt sprayed on roads

during winter are extremely corrosive in

combination with water, carry out the

following steps after each ride in the

rain, near the sea or on salt-sprayed

roads.

TIP

Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may

remain well into spring.

1. Clean the motorcycle with cold wa-

ter and a mild detergent, after the

engine has cooled down.

NOTICE: Do not use warm water

since it increases the corrosive

action of the salt.

[ECA10791]

2. Apply a corrosion protection spray

on all metal, including chrome- and

nickel-plated, surfaces to prevent

corrosion.

After cleaning

1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth.

2. Immediately dry the drive chain

and lubricate it to prevent it from

rusting.

3. Use a chrome polish to shine

chrome, aluminum and stainless-

steel parts, including the exhaust

system. (Even the thermally in-

duced discoloring of stainless-

steel exhaust systems can be re-

moved through polishing.)

4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-

mended to apply a corrosion pro-

tection spray on all metal,

including chrome- and nickel-plat-

ed, surfaces.

5. Use spray oil as a universal clean-

er to remove any remaining dirt.

6. Touch up minor paint damage

caused by stones, etc.

7. Wax all painted surfaces.

8. Let the motorcycle dry completely

before storing or covering it.

WARNING

EWA11131

Contaminants on the brakes or tires

can cause loss of control.

● Make sure that there is no oil or

wax on the brakes or tires.

● If necessary, clean the brake

discs and brake linings with a

regular brake disc cleaner or ac-

etone, and wash the tires with

warm water and a mild deter-

gent. Before riding at higher

speeds, test the motorcycle’s

braking performance and cor-

nering behavior.

NOTICE

ECA10800

● Apply spray oil and wax spar-

ingly and make sure to wipe off

any excess.

● Never apply oil or wax to any

rubber and plastic parts, but

treat them with a suitable care

product.

● Avoid using abrasive polishing

compounds as they will wear

away the paint.

TIP

● Consult a Yamaha dealer for ad-

vice on what products to use.

● Washing, rainy weather or humid

climates can cause the headlight

lens to fog. Turning the headlight

on for a short period of time will

help remove the moisture from the

lens.

EAU26182

Storage

Short-term

Always store your motorcycle in a cool,

dry place and, if necessary, protect it

against dust with a porous cover. Be

sure the engine and the exhaust sys-

tem are cool before covering the motor-

cycle.

NOTICE

ECA10810

● Storing the motorcycle in a

poorly ventilated room or cover-

ing it with a tarp, while it is still

wet, will allow water and humid-

ity to seep in and cause rust.

● To prevent corrosion, avoid

damp cellars, stables (because

of the presence of ammonia)

and areas where strong chemi-

cals are stored.

Long-term

Before storing your motorcycle for sev-

eral months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the

“Care” section of this chapter.

U1CAE1E0.book Page 3 Tuesday, September 13, 2011 5:02 PM

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

7-4

2. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel

stabilizer (if available) to prevent

the fuel tank from rusting and the

fuel from deteriorating.

3. Perform the following steps to pro-

tect the cylinders, piston rings, etc.

from corrosion.

a. Remove the spark plug caps

and spark plugs.

b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil

into each spark plug bore.

c. Install the spark plug caps onto

the spark plugs, and then place

the spark plugs on the cylinder

head so that the electrodes are

grounded. (This will limit spark-

ing during the next step.)

d. Turn the engine over several

times with the starter. (This will

coat the cylinder walls with oil.)

WARNING! To prevent dam-

age or injury from sparking,

make sure to ground the

spark plug electrodes while

turning the engine over.

[EWA10951]

e. Remove the spark plug caps

from the spark plugs, and then

install the spark plugs and the

spark plug caps.

4. Lubricate all control cables and the

pivoting points of all levers and

pedals as well as of the side-

stand/centerstand.

5. Check and, if necessary, correct

the tire air pressure, and then lift

the motorcycle so that both of its

wheels are off the ground. Alterna-

tively, turn the wheels a little every

month in order to prevent the tires

from becoming degraded in one

spot.

6. Cover the muffler outlet with a

plastic bag to prevent moisture

from entering it.

7. Remove the battery and fully

charge it. Store it in a cool, dry

place and charge it once a month.

Do not store the battery in an ex-

cessively cold or warm place [less

than 0 °C (30 °F) or more than 30

°C (90 °F)]. For more information

on storing the battery, see page

6-31.

TIP

Make any necessary repairs before

storing the motorcycle.
