SAFETY INFORMATION

EAU1028B

Be a Responsible Owner

As the vehicles owner, you are re- sponsible for the safe and proper oper- ation 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 be- fore 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- ers Manual.

Obtain qualified training in safe and proper riding techniques.

Obtain professional technical ser- vice as indicated in this Owners Manual and/or when made neces- sary by mechanical conditions.

Never operate a motorcycle with- out proper training or instruction. Take a training course. Beginners should receive training from a cer- tified instructor. Contact an autho- rized motorcycle dealer to find out about the training courses nearest you.

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 vehi- cle properly increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage. See page 5-1 for a list of pre-operation checks. This motorcycle is designed to

carry the operator and a passen- ger.

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 ap-

pears to be very effective in reduc- ing 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 motorists blind spot.

Never maintain a motorcycle without proper knowledge. Contact an authorized motorcy- cle dealer to inform you on ba- sic motorcycle maintenance. Certain maintenance can only be carried out by certified staff.

U2RC10E0.book Page 1 Thursday, April 3, 2014 10:37 AM

SAFETY INFORMATION

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 oper- ators.

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 operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn due to excessive speed or un- dercornering (insufficient lean an- gle for the speed). Always obey the speed limit and

never travel faster than warrant- ed by road and traffic condi- tions.

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 pre- vention 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 abra- sions 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 carbon monoxide can cause head- aches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death. Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odor- less, tasteless gas which may be pres- ent even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of car- bon monoxide can collect rapidly and you can quickly be overcome and un- able to save yourself. Also, deadly lev- els of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poi- soning, 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.

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.

Loading

Adding accessories or cargo to your motorcycle can adversely affect stabil- ity and handling if the weight distribu- tion of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid the possibility of an accident, use extreme 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 dis- tribute the weight as evenly as possible on both sides of the mo- torcycle to minimize imbalance or instability.

Shifting weights can create a sud- den imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are se- curely attached to the motorcycle before riding. Check accessory mounts and cargo restraints fre- quently. 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 ac- cessories 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 accesso- ries or modifications are not suitable because of potential safety hazards to you or others. Installing aftermarket products or having other modifications performed to your vehicle that change any of the vehicles 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 per- formance of your motorcycle. Carefully 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 opera- tion, or obscure lights or reflec- tors. Accessories fitted to the han-

dlebar or the front fork area can create instability due to improp- er 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 unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause in- stability 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 freedom of movement of the

U2RC10E0.book Page 4 Thursday, April 3, 2014 10:37 AM

SAFETY INFORMATION

operator and may limit control ability, therefore, such accesso- ries are not recommended.

Use caution when adding electri- cal accessories. If electrical ac- cessories exceed the capacity of the motorcycles electrical sys- tem, an electric failure could re- sult, 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 han- dling, braking, and comfort. Other tires, rims, sizes, and combinations may not be appropriate. Refer to page 7-17 for tire specifications and more in- formation 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.

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 location 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 exces- sively during transport.

Fuel Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.

WARNING

EWA10882

Gasoline and gasoline vapors are

extremely flammable. To avoid fires

and explosions and to reduce the

risk of injury when refueling, follow

these instructions.

1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit- ting on the vehicle. Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vi- cinity of sparks, open flames, or other sources of ignition such as the pilot lights of water heaters and 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

deteriorate painted surfaces or

plastic parts. [ECA10072]

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.

WARNING

EWA15152

Gasoline is poisonous and can

cause injury or death. Handle gaso-

line with care. Never siphon gasoline

by mouth. If you should swallow

NOTICE ECA11401

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use

of leaded gasoline will cause severe

damage to internal engine parts,

such as the valves and piston rings,

as well as to the exhaust system.

Your Yamaha engine has been de- signed to use regular unleaded gaso- line with a pump octane number [(R+M)/2] of 86 or higher, or a research octane number of 91 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand or premi-

um unleaded fuel. Use of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug life and reduce maintenance costs. Gasohol

There are two types of gasohol: gaso- hol containing ethanol and that con- taining methanol. Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if the ethanol con- tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas- ohol containing methanol is not recommended by Yamaha because it can cause damage to the fuel system or vehicle performance problems.

NOTICE ECA10261

Even with the transmission in

the neutral position, do not

coast for long periods of time

with the engine off, and do not

tow the motorcycle for long dis-

tances. The transmission is

properly lubricated only when

the engine is running. Inade-

quate lubrication may damage

the transmission.

Always use the clutch while

changing gears to avoid dam-

aging the engine, transmission,

and drive train, which are not

designed to withstand the

shock of forced shifting.

EAU16682

To start out and accelerate

1. Pull the clutch lever to disengage the clutch.

2. Shift the transmission into first gear. The neutral indicator light should go out.

3. Open the throttle gradually, and at the same time, release the clutch lever slowly.

4. At the recommended shift points shown in the following table, close the throttle, and at the same time, quickly pull the clutch lever in.

5. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the transmission into the neutral posi- tion.)

6. Open the throttle part way and gradually release the clutch lever.

7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.

TIP

When shifting gears in normal operat- ing conditions, use the recommended shift points.

EAU58270

To decelerate

1. Release the throttle and apply both the front and the rear brakes smoothly to slow the motorcycle.

2. At the recommended shift points shown in the following table, shift to a lower gear.

3. When the motorcycle reaches 20 km/h (12 mi/h), the engine is about to stall or runs roughly, pull the

clutch lever in, use the brakes to slow the motorcycle, and continue to downshift as necessary.

4. Once the motorcycle has stopped, the transmission can be shifted into the neutral position. The neutral indicator light should come on and then the clutch lever can be released.

WARNING

EWA17380

Improper braking can cause

loss of control or traction. Al-

ways use both brakes and apply

them smoothly.

Make sure that the motorcycle

and the engine have sufficiently

slowed before shifting to a low-

er gear. Engaging a lower gear

when the vehicle or engine

speed is too high could make

the rear wheel lose traction or

the engine to over-rev. This

could cause loss of control, an

accident and injury. It could also

cause engine or drive train dam-

age.

Checking the spark plugs The spark plugs are important engine components, which should be checked periodically, preferably by a Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depos- its will cause any spark plug to slowly erode, they should be removed and checked in accordance with the peri- odic maintenance and lubrication chart. In addition, the condition of the spark plugs can reveal the condition of the engine. The porcelain insulator around the center 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 engine should have the same color. If any spark plug shows a dis- tinctly different color, the engine could be operating improperly. Do not at- tempt to diagnose such problems yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal- er check the vehicle. If a spark plug shows signs of elec- trode 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 specified torque as soon as possible.

NOTICE ECA10841

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.

Engine oil and oil filter car- tridge The engine oil level should be checked before each ride. In addition, the oil must be changed and the oil filter car- tridge replaced at the intervals speci- fied in the periodic maintenance and lubrication chart.

To check the engine oil level

1. Place the vehicle on a level sur- face and hold it in an upright posi- tion. A slight tilt to the side can result in a false reading.

2. Start the engine, warm it up for several minutes, and then turn it off.

3. Wait a few minutes until the oil set- tles, and then check the oil level through the engine oil level check window located at the bottom-left side of the crankcase.

TIP

The engine oil should be between the minimum and maximum level marks.

4. If the engine oil is below the mini- mum level mark, add sufficient oil of the recommended type to raise it to the correct level.

To change the engine oil (with or

without oil filter cartridge replace-

ment)

Tires Tires are the only contact between the vehicle and the road. Safety in all con- ditions of riding depends on a relatively small area of road contact. Therefore, it is essential to maintain the tires in good condition at all times and replace them at the appropriate time with the speci- fied tires.

Tire air pressure

The tire air pressure should be checked and, if necessary, adjusted before each ride.

WARNING

EWA10504

Operation of this vehicle with im-

proper tire pressure may cause se-

vere injury or death from loss of

control.

The tire air pressure must be

checked and adjusted on cold

tires (i.e., when the temperature

of the tires equals the ambient

temperature).

The tire air pressure must be

adjusted in accordance with the

riding speed and with the total

weight of rider, passenger, car-

go, and accessories approved

for this model.

WARNING

EWA10512

Never overload your vehicle. Opera-

tion of an overloaded vehicle could

cause an accident.

Tire inspection

The tires must be checked before each ride. If the tire tread shows crosswise lines (minimum tread depth), if the tire has a nail or glass fragments in it, or if the sidewall is cracked, have a Yamaha dealer replace the tire immediately.

Tire air pressure (measured on cold tires):

Front: 225 kPa (2.25 kgf/cm, 33 psi)

Rear: 250 kPa (2.50 kgf/cm, 36 psi)

WARNING

EWA10582

It is dangerous to ride with a

worn-out tire. When a tire tread

begins to show crosswise lines,

have a Yamaha dealer replace

the tire immediately.

The replacement of all wheel-

and brake-related parts, includ-

ing the tires, should be left to a

Yamaha dealer, who has the

necessary professional knowl-

edge and experience to do so.

Ride at moderate speeds after

changing a tire since the tire

surface must first be broken

in for it to develop its optimal

characteristics.

Tire information

This model is equipped with tubeless tires and rubber tire air valves. Tires age, even if they have not been used or have only been used occasion- ally. Cracking of the tread and sidewall rubber, sometimes accompanied by carcass deformation, is an evidence of ageing. Old and aged tires shall be checked by tire specialists to ascertain their suitability for further use.

WARNING

EWA10482

The front and rear tires should

be of the same make and de-

sign, otherwise the handling

characteristics of the motorcy-

cle may be different, which

could lead to an accident.

Always make sure that the valve

caps are securely installed to

prevent air pressure leakage.

Use only the tire valves and

valve cores listed below to

avoid tire deflation during a

high-speed ride.

After extensive tests, only the tires list- ed below have been approved for this model by Yamaha.

WARNING

EWA10601

This motorcycle is fitted with super-

high-speed tires. Note the following

points in order to make the most ef-

ficient use of these tires.

Use only the specified replace-

ment tires. Other tires may run

the danger of bursting at super

high speeds.

Brand-new tires can have a rel-

atively 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.

Always adjust the tire air pres-

sure according to the operating

conditions.

EAU21963

Cast wheels To maximize the performance, durabil- ity, and safe operation of your vehicle, note the following points regarding the specified wheels. The wheel rims should be

WARNING

EWA15991

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 does not

enter the brake fluid reservoir

when refilling. Water will signifi-

cantly lower the boiling point of

the fluid and may result in vapor

lock.

NOTICE ECA17641

Brake fluid may damage painted

surfaces or plastic parts. Always

clean up spilled fluid immediately.

As the brake pads wear, it is normal for the brake fluid level to gradually go down. A low brake fluid level may indi- cate worn brake pads and/or brake system leakage; therefore, be sure to check the brake pads for wear and the brake system for leakage. If the brake

Troubleshooting Although Yamaha motorcycles receive a thorough inspection before shipment from the factory, trouble may occur during 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 inferior, have a shorter service life and can lead to expensive repair bills.

WARNING

EWA15142

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 prop-

erty damage.

Engine overheating

WARNING

EWA10401

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.

After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then

slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hiss-

ing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.

TIP

If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended cool- ant as soon as possible.

Wait until the engine has cooled.

Check the coolant level in the reservoir and radiator.

The coolant level is OK.

The coolant level is low. Check the cooling system for leakage.

Have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.

Add coolant. (See TIP.)

Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.

There is leakage.

There is no leakage.

Matte color caution

NOTICE ECA15193

Some models are equipped with

matte colored finished parts. Be

sure to consult a Yamaha dealer for

advice on what products to use be-

fore cleaning the vehicle. Using a

brush, harsh chemical products or

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.

EAU26015

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 mo- torcycle. Frequent and proper care does not only comply with the terms of the warranty, but it will also keep your motorcycle 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 cov- ers as well as all electrical cou- plers 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 degreaser off with water.

Cleaning

NOTICE ECA10773

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

U2RC10E0.book Page 1 Thursday, April 3, 2014 10:37 AM

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

8-2

8

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 fluid,

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

compounds for plastic may

leave scratches on the wind-

shield. Test the product on a

small hidden part of the wind-

shield to make sure that it does

not leave any marks. If the wind-

shield is scratched, use a quality

plastic polishing compound af-

ter 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 water and a mild detergent, after the engine has cooled down. NOTICE: Do not use warm wa-

ter since it increases the corro-

sive action of the salt. [ECA10792]

2. Apply a corrosion protection spray on all metal, including chrome- and nickel-plated, surfaces to pre- vent 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

EWA11132

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

acetone, and wash the tires with

warm water and a mild deter-

gent. Before riding at higher

speeds, test the motorcycles

braking performance and cor-

nering behavior.

NOTICE ECA10801

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.

EAU26183

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 mo- torcycle.

NOTICE ECA10811

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.

U2RC10E0.book Page 3 Thursday, April 3, 2014 10:37 AM

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

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 protect 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 elec- trodes are grounded. (This will limit sparking 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.

[EWA10952]

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 7-30.

TIP

Make any necessary repairs before storing the motorcycle.

WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period? The customers responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-warranty repairs, accident and collision damages, and oil, oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, and brake shoes.

What are some examples of abnormal strain, neglect, or abuse? These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include: Running the machine out of oil, sustained high rpm, full-throttle, operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part to fail, damage or failure due to improper or careless transportation and/or tie-down. If you have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.

Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due to a failure? No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.

May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owners Manual instead of having the dealer do them? Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owners and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by a Yamaha motorcycle dealer.

Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new motorcycle exactly as specified in the Owners Manual? No. The warranty on a new motorcycle cannot be voided or cancelled. However, if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as described in the Owners Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.

What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty? Each Yamaha motorcycle dealer is expected to:

Completely set up every new machine before sale. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date. Each Yamaha motorcycle dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warranty repair work.

Is the warranty transferable to second owners? Yes. The remainder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha motorcycle dealer for the policy to remain effective.

CUSTOMER SERVICE

If your machine requires warranty service, you must take it to any authorized Yamaha motorcycle dealer within the continental United States. Be sure to bring your warranty registration card or other valid proof of the original date of purchase. If a question or problem arises regarding the warranty, first contact the owner of the dealership.
