Fuel
Make sure that there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
EBU19561
Engine oil
Make sure that the engine oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-20.)
EBU19591
Final gear oil
Make sure that the final gear oil is at the specified
level. Add oil as necessary. (See page 8-24.)
EBU19601
Differential gear oil
Make sure that the differential gear oil is at the
specified level. Add oil as necessary. (See page
EBU19632
Coolant
Make sure that the coolant is at the specified level.
Add coolant as necessary. (See page 8-29.)
5-3
TIP
The coolant level must be checked on a cold engine since the level varies with engine temperature.
EBU28533
Front and rear brakes
Brake levers and brake pedal
Check that there is no free play in the front brake lever. If there is free play, have a Yamaha dealer check the brake system.
Check for correct free play in the rear brake lever and brake pedal. If the free play is incorrect,
Check operation of the levers and pedal. They should move smoothly and there should be a firm feeling when the brake is applied. If not, have a Yamaha dealer check them.

Brake fluid level (front brake)
Check the brake fluid level. Add fluid if necessary.
Specified brake fluid:
DOT 4
UB1661E0.book Page 4 Thursday, May 12, 2016 2:47 PM

Brake fluid leakage (front brake)
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking out of the hose, joint or brake fluid reservoir of the front brake. Apply the brake firmly for one minute. If the lever moves slowly inward, there may be a leak in the brake system. If there is any leakage, the brake system should be checked by a Yamaha dealer.
Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after starting out to make sure they are working properly. If the brakes do not provide proper braking performance, check the brake pads and friction plates for wear.
EBU19762
Throttle lever
Check the operation of the throttle lever. It must open smoothly and spring back to the idle position when released. Have a Yamaha dealer correct if necessary.
EBU19815
Tires
Check tire pressure regularly to make sure it is at the recommended specifications. Also check for wear and damage.
5-4
Tire pressure
Use the low-pressure tire gauge to check and adjust tire pressures when the tires are cold. Tire pressures must be equal on both sides.
WARNING! Operation of this vehicle with improper tire pressure may cause severe injury or death from loss of control or rollover. Tire pressure below the minimum specified could also cause the tire to dislodge from the rim under severe riding conditions.
[EWB02542]
Set tire pressures to the following specifications:
UB1661E0.book Page 5 Thursday, May 12, 2016 2:47 PM
Recommended tire pressure:
Front
35.0 kPa (0.350 kgf/cm², 5.0 psi)
Rear
30.0 kPa (0.300 kgf/cm², 4.4 psi)
Minimum tire pressure:
Front
32.0 kPa (0.320 kgf/cm², 4.6 psi)
Rear
27.0 kPa (0.270 kgf/cm², 4.0 psi)
Maximum tire seating pressure:
Front
250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi)
Rear
250 kPa (2.5 kgf/cm², 36 psi)
The low-pressure tire gauge is included as standard equipment. Make two measurements of the tire pressure and use the second reading. Dust or dirt in the gauge could cause the first reading to be incorrect.
1. Low-pressure tire gauge
Tire wear limit
When the tire groove decreases to 3 mm (0.12 in) due to wear, replace the tire.
