Motorcycles are fascinating vehicles, which can give you an unsurpassed feeling of power and free-
dom. However, they also impose certain limits, which you must accept; even the best motorcycle
does not ignore the laws of physics.
Regular care and maintenance are essential for preserving your motorcycle’s value and operating
condition. Moreover, what is true for the motorcycle is also true for the rider: good performance
depends on being in good shape. Riding under the influence of medication, drugs and alcohol is, of
course, out of the question. Motorcycle riders more than car drivers must always be at their mental
and physical best. Under the influence of even small amounts of alcohol, there is a tendency to take
dangerous risks.
Protective clothing is as essential for the motorcycle rider as seat belts are for car drivers and passen-
gers. Always wear a complete motorcycle suit (whether made of leather or tear-resistant synthetic
materials with protectors), sturdy boots, motorcycle gloves and a properly fitting helmet. Optimum pro-
tective wear, however, should not encourage carelessness. Though full-coverage helmets and suits,
in particular, create an illusion of total safety and protection, motorcyclists will always be vulnerable.
Riders who lack critical self-control run the risk of going too fast and are apt to take chances. This is
even more dangerous in wet weather. The good motorcyclist rides safely, predictably and defensively
avoiding all dangers, including those caused by others.
Enjoy your ride!

properly retracted, it could contact
the ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss of
control. Yamaha has designed into
this motorcycle a lockout system
to assist the operator in fulfilling
the responsibility of retracting the
sidestand. Please check carefully
the operating instructions listed
below and if there is any indication
of a malfunction, return the motor-
cycle to a Yamaha dealer immedi-
ately for repair.

Owners are personally responsible for their vehicle’s condition. Your motorcycle’s vital functions can start to deteriorate
quickly and unexpectedly, even if it remains unused (for instance, if it is exposed to the elements). Any damage, fluid
leak or loss of tire pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important that, in addition to a thor-
ough visual inspection, you check the following points before each ride.

Before riding this motorcycle,
become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions. Consult a
Yamaha dealer regarding any
control or function that you do
not thoroughly understand.
88
Never start your engine or let
it run for any length of time in
a closed area. The exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness
and death within a short time.
Always operate your motorcy-
cle in an area with adequate
ventilation.
88
Before starting out, always be
sure the sidestand is up.
Failure to retract the sidestand
completely can result in a seri-
ous accident when you try to
turn a corner.
EAU03011
Starting the engine
NOTE:
This motorcycle is equipped with an
ignition circuit cut-off system. The
engine can be started only under one
of the following conditions:
8 The transmission is in neutral.
8 The sidestand is up, the trans-
mission is in gear and the clutch
is disengaged.
The motorcycle must not be ridden
when the sidestand is down.

3. Shift the transmission into neu-
tral.
NOTE:
When the transmission is in neutral,
the neutral indicator light should be
on. If the light does not come on, ask
a Yamaha dealer to inspect it.
4. Turn on the starter (choke) and
completely close the throttle grip.
5. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.
NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, then
try again. Each attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the bat-
tery. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on any one attempt.
6. After starting the engine, move
the starter (choke) to the halfway
position.
NOTE:
For maximum engine life, never
accelerate hard with a cold engine!
7. After warming up the engine,
turn off the starter (choke) com-
pletely.
NOTE:
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off.

Shifting
The transmission lets you control the
amount of power you have available
at a given speed for starting, acceler-
ating, climbing hills, etc. The use of
the shift pedal is shown in the illustra-
tion.
To shift into neutral, depress the shift
pedal repeatedly until it reaches the
end of its travel, then raise the pedal
slightly.
EC000048
cC
88
Do not coast for long periods
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle a long dis-
tance. Even with gears in neu-
tral, the transmission is only
properly lubricated when the
engine is running. Inadequate
lubrication may damage the
transmission.
88
Always use the clutch when
changing gears. The engine,
transmission, and driveline are
not designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting and
can be damaged by shifting
without using the clutch.

Engine break-in
There is never a more important peri-
od in the life of your motorcycle than
the period between zero and 1,000
km. For this reason we ask that you
carefully read the following material.
Because the engine is brand new,
you must not put an excessive load
on it for the first 1,000 km. The vari-
ous parts in the engine wear and pol-
ish themselves to the correct operat-
ing clearances. During this period,
prolonged full throttle operation, or
any condition which might result in
excessive heating of the engine,
must be avoided.
EAU00440
0 ~ 150 km
Avoid operation above 4,000 r/min.
Stop the engine and let it cool for 5 to
10 minutes after every hour of opera-
tion. Vary the speed of the motorcy-
cle from time to time. Do not operate
it at one set throttle position.
150 ~ 500 km
Avoid prolonged operation above
5,000 r/min. Rev the motorcycle
freely through the gears, but do not
use full throttle at any time.
500 ~ 1,000 km
Avoid prolonged full throttle opera-
tion. Avoid cruising speeds in excess
of 6,000 r/min.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Your motorcycle’s fuel consumption
depends to a large extent on your rid-
ing style. The following tips can help
reduce fuel consumption:
8 Warm up the engine before rid-
ing.
8 Turn off the starter (choke) as
soon as possible.
8 Shift up swiftly and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
8 Do not double-clutch or rev the
engine while shifting down and
avoid high engine speeds with
no load on the engine.
8 Turn off the engine instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length
of time, i.e. in traffic jams, at traf-
fic lights or railroad crossings.

4PT-9-E6 (ENG) 6 12/27/00 1:29 PM Page 9
Inspection
The spark plug is an important
engine component and is easy to
inspect. The condition of the spark
plug can indicate the condition of the
engine.
The ideal color on the white insulator
around the center electrode is a
medium-to-light tan color for a motor-
cycle that is being ridden normally.
Do not attempt to diagnose such
problems yourself. Instead, take the
motorcycle to a Yamaha dealer. You
should periodically remove and
inspect the spark plug because heat
and deposits will cause any spark
plug to slowly break down and erode.
If electrode erosion becomes exces-
sive, or if carbon and other deposits
are excessive, you should replace
the spark plug with the specified plug.
Installation
1. Measure the electrode gap with
a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjust the gap to
specification.
2. Clean the gasket surface. Wipe
off any grime from the threads.
3. Install the spark plug and tighten
it to the specified torque.
NOTE:
If a torque wrench is not available
when you are installing a spark plug,
a good estimate of the correct torque
is 1/4 to 1/2 turn past finger tight.
Have the spark plug tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.
4. Install the spark plug cap.

Tires
To ensure maximum performance,
long service and safe operation, note
the following:
Tire air pressure
Always check and adjust the tire
pressure before operating the motor-
cycle.
EW000082
w
Tire inflation pressure should be
checked and adjusted when the
temperature of the tire equals the
ambient air temperature. Tire infla-
tion pressure must be adjusted
according to total weight of cargo,
rider, passenger, and accessories
(fairing, saddlebags, etc. if
approved for this model), and vehi-
cle speed.
EAU00637
Valve clearance adjustment
The correct valve clearance changes
with use, resulting in improper fuel/air
supply or engine noise. To prevent
this, the valve clearance must be
adjusted regularly. This adjustment
however, should be left to a profes-
sional Yamaha service technician.

Proper loading of your motorcycle
is important for several character-
istics of your motorcycle, such as
handling, braking, performance
and safety. Do not carry loosely
packed items that can shift.
Securely pack your heaviest items
close to the center of the motorcy-
cle, and distribute the weight even-
ly from side to side. Properly
adjust the suspension for your
load, and check the condition and
pressure of your tires. NEVER
OVERLOAD YOUR MOTORCYCLE.
Make sure the total weight of the
cargo, rider, passenger, and
accessories (fairing, saddlebags,
etc. if approved for this model)
does not exceed the maximum
load of the motorcycle. Operation
of an overloaded motorcycle could
cause tire damage, an accident, or
even injury.

Wheels
To ensure maximum performance,
long service, and safe operation, note
the following:
8 Always inspect the wheels
before a ride. Check for cracks,
bends or warpage of the wheel.
Be sure the spokes are tight and
undamaged. If any abnormal
condition exists in a wheel, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer. Do not
attempt even small repairs to the
wheel. If a wheel is deformed or
cracked, it must be replaced.
8 Tires and wheels should be bal-
anced whenever either one is
changed or replaced. Failure to
have a wheel balanced can
result in poor performance,
adverse handling characteristics,
and shortened tire life.
8 Ride at moderate speeds after
changing a tire since the tire sur-
face must first be broken in for it
to develop its optimal character-
istics.
EAU00681
w
88
Operating the motorcycle with
excessively worn tires
decrease riding stability and
can lead to loss of control.
Have excessively worn tires
replaced by a Yamaha dealer
immediately. Brakes, tires, and
related wheel parts replace-
ment should be left to a
Yamaha Service Technician.
88
Patching a punctured tube is
not recommended. If it is
absolutely necessary to do so,
use great care and replace the
tube as soon as possible with
a good quality replacement.
NOTE:
These limits may be different by regu-
lation from country to country. If so,
conform to the limits specified by the
regulations of your own country.

Drive chain lubrication
The chain consists of many parts
which work with each other. If the
chain is not maintained properly, it
will wear out quickly. Therefore, the
chain must be serviced regularly.
This service is especially necessary
when riding in dusty areas. This
motorcycle is equipped with a sealed
type chain. Steam cleaning, high-
pressure washers, and solvents can
damage the drive chain, so do not
use these for cleaning it. Use only
kerosene to clean the drive chain.

Supporting the motorcycle
Since the Yamaha XT500E/XT600E
has no centerstand, follow these pre-
cautions when removing the front and
rear wheel or performing other main-
tenance requiring the motorcycle to
stand upright. Check that the motor-
cycle is in a stable and level position
before starting any maintenance. A
strong wooden box can be placed
under the engine for added stability.
Front wheel service
To stabilize the rear of the motorcy-
cle, either use a motorcycle stand or
place a motorcycle jack under the
frame in front of the rear wheel to
prevent it from moving from side to
side. Then use a motorcycle stand to
elevate the front wheel off of the
ground.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles
receive a rigid inspection before ship-
ment from the factory, trouble may
occur during operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compres-
sion, or ignition systems can cause
poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a
quick, easy procedure for making
checks.
If your motorcycle requires any
repair, bring it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha
dealership have the tools, experi-
ence, and know-how to properly ser-
vice your motorcycle. Use only gen-
uine Yamaha parts on your
motorcycle. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior. Conse-quently, they have a
shorter service life and can lead to
expensive repair bills.
5. Push the wheel forward and
remove the drive chain.
6. Pull out the wheel axle, then
remove the wheel assembly by
pulling backwards.
NOTE:
8 Do not depress the brake pedal
when the disc and caliper are
separated.
8 You do not have to disassemble
the chain in order to remove or
install the rear wheel.
EAU01136*
Rear wheel installation
1. Install the rear wheel and chain.
Guide the brake disc between
the brake pads. Make sure there

2. Make sure the wheel axle is
inserted from the left-hand side
and that the chain adjusting
plates are installed with the
punched side outward.
3. Install the swingarm end bolts.
4. Adjust the drive chain.
5. Tighten the following parts to the
specified torque.

Care
The exposure of its technology
makes a motorcycle charming but
also vulnerable. Although high-quality
components are used, they are not
all rust-resistant. While a rusty
exhaust pipe may remain unnoticed
on a car, it does look unattractive on
a motorcycle. Frequent and proper
care, however, will keep your motor-
cycle looking good, extend its life and
maintain its performance. Moreover,
the warranty states that the vehicle
must be properly taken care of. For
all these reasons, it is recommended
that you observe the following clean-
ing and storing precautions.
Before cleaning
1. Cover up the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag.
2. Make sure that all caps and cov-
ers as well as all electrical cou-
plers and connectors, including
the spark plug cap, are tightly
installed.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt,
like oil burnt onto the crankcase,
with a degreasing agent and a
tooth or bottle brush, but never
apply such products onto seals,
gaskets, sprockets, the drive
chain and wheel axles. Always
rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with water.
Cleaning
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a neu-
tral detergent and a soft clean
sponge, then rinse with plenty of
clean water. Use a brush for hard-to-
reach parts. Tougher dirt and insects
will come off more easily if the area is
covered with a wet cloth for a few
minutes before cleaning.
ECA00010
cC
88
Avoid using strong acidic
wheel cleaners, especially on
spoked wheels. If you do use
such products for hard-to-
remove dirt, do not leave it on
any longer than instructed,
then thoroughly rinse it off
with water, immediately dry
the area and apply a corrosion
protection spray.

88
Improper cleaning can damage
windshields, cowlings, panels
and other plastic parts. Use
only a soft, clean cloth or
sponge with mild detergent
and water to clean plastic.
88
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 abra-
sive cleaning products, sol-
vent or thinner, fuel (gasoline),
rust removers or inhibitors,
brake fluid, antifreeze or elec-
trolyte.
88
Do not use high-pressure
washers or steam-jet cleaners
since they cause water seep-
age and deterioration in the
following areas: seals (of
wheel bearings, swingarm
bearings, forks and brakes),
electric components (cou-
plers, connectors, instru-
ments, switches and lights),
breather hoses and vents.
88
For motorcycles equipped
with a windshield: Do not use
strong cleaners or hard
sponges as they will cause
dulling or scratching. Some
cleaning compounds for plas-
tic may leave scratches on the
windshield. Test the product
on a small hidden part of the
windshield to make sure they
do not leave any marks. If the
windshield is scratched, use a
quality plastic polishing com-
pound after washing.
After riding in the rain, near the sea
or on salt-sprayed roads.
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on the
roads in the winter are extremely cor-
rosive in combination with water,
carry out the following steps after
each ride in the rain, near the sea or
on salt-sprayed roads. (Salt sprayed
in the winter may remain on the roads
well into spring.)
1. Clean your motorcycle with cold
water and soap after the engine
has cooled down.
ECA00012
cC
Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action of
the salt.
2. Be sure to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even
chrome- and nickel-plated) metal
surfaces to prevent corrosion.

Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes and tires. If nec-
essary, clean the brake discs and
linings with a regular brake disc
cleaner or acetone, and wash the
tires with warm water and mild
soap. Then, carefully test the
motorcycle for its braking perfor-
mance and cornering behavior.

NOTE:
Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice
on what products to use.
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
induced discoloring of stainless-
steel exhaust systems can be
removed through polishing.)
4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-
mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all (even
chrome- and nickel-plated) metal
surfaces.
5. Use spray oil as a universal
cleaner 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 complete-
ly before storing it or covering it.

a. Remove the spark plug cap and
spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil
into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto
the spark plug and place the
spark plug 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 wall with oil.)
e. Remove the spark plug cap from
the spark plug, install the spark
plug and then the spark plug
cap.

Storage
Short-term
Always store your motorcycle in a
cool, dry place and, if necessary, pro-
tect it against dust with a porous
cover.
ECA00014
cC
88
Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cov-
ering it with a tarp while it is
still wet will allow water and
humidity to seep in and cause
rust.
88
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
several months:
1. Follow all the instructions in the
“Care” section of this chapter.
2. Drain the carburetor float cham-
ber by loosening the drain bolt;
this will prevent fuel deposits
from building up. Pour the
drained fuel into the fuel tank.
3. Only for motorcycles equipped
with a fuel cock which has an
“OFF” position: Turn the fuel
cock to
OFF”.
4. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel
stabilizer (if available) to prevent
the fuel tank from rusting and the
fuel from deteriorating.
5. Perform the following steps to
protect the cylinder, piston rings,
etc. from corrosion.

6. Lubricate all control cables and
the pivoting points of all levers
and pedals as well as of the
sidestand/centerstand.
7. Check and, if necessary, correct
the tire air pressure, then raise
the motorcycle so that both of its
wheels are off the ground.
Alternatively, turn the wheels a
little every month in order to pre-
vent the tires from becoming
degraded in one spot.
8. Cover up the muffler outlet with a
plastic bag to prevent moisture
from entering.
9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery
in an excessively cold or warm
place (less than 0°C or more
than 30°C). For more informa-
tion, see
Battery storage” in the
chapter “PERIODIC MAINTE-
NANCE AND MINOR
REPAIRS”.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
