IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL AND
DISASSEMBLY
1. Before removal and disassembly, remove
all dirt, mud, dust and foreign material.
2. Use only the proper tools and cleaning
equipment.
Refer to the “SPECIAL TOOLS”.
3. When disassembling, always keep mated
parts together. This includes gears, cylin-
ders, pistons and other parts that have
been “mated” through normal wear. Mated
parts must always be reused or replaced as
an assembly.
4. During disassembly, clean all of the parts
and place them in trays in the order of dis-
assembly. This will speed up assembly and
allow for the correct installation of all parts.
5. Keep all parts away from any source of fire.
EAS00021
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all replace-
ments. Use oil and grease recommended by
Yamaha for all lubrication jobs. Other brands
may be similar in function and appearance, but
inferior in quality.
EAS00022
GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS

1. When overhauling the engine, replace all
gaskets, seals and O-rings. All gasket sur-
faces, oil seal lips and O-rings must be
cleaned.
2. During reassembly, properly oil all mating
parts and bearings and lubricate the oil seal
lips with grease.

9Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
9Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment, light-
ed cigarettes).
9DO NOT SMOKE when charging or han-
dling batteries.
9KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
9Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
FIRST AID IN CASE OF BODILY CONTACT:

9Loosen the battery sealing caps.
9Make sure the battery breather hose and
battery vent are free of obstructions.
9To ensure maximum performance, always
charge a new battery before using it.
9Do not use a high-rate battery charger.
They force a high-amperage current into
the battery quickly and can cause battery
overheating and battery plate damage.
9If it is impossible to regulate the charging
current on the battery charger, be careful
not to overcharge the battery.
9When charging a battery, be sure to remove
it from the vehicle. (If charging has to be
done with the battery mounted on the vehi-
cle, disconnect the negative lead from the
battery terminal.)
9To reduce the chance of sparks, do not
plug in the battery charger until the battery
charger leads are connected to the battery.
9Before removing the battery charger lead
clips from the battery terminals, be sure to
turn off the battery charger.
9Make sure the battery charger lead clips are
in full contact with the battery terminal and
that they are not shorted. A corroded bat-
tery charger lead clip may generate heat in
the contact area and a weak clip spring
may cause sparks.
9If the battery becomes hot to the touch at
any time during the charging process, dis-
connect the battery charger and let the bat-
tery cool before reconnecting it. Hot batter-
ies can explode!

A hot radiator is under pressure. Therefore,do
not remove the radiator cap when the engine is
hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be blown
out, which could cause serious injury. When the
engine has cooled, open the radiator cap as fol-
lows: Place a thick rag or a towel over the radi-
ator cap and slowly turn the radiator cap coun-
terclockwise toward the detent to allow any
residual pressure to escape.
When the hissing sound has stopped, press
down on the radiator cap and turn it counter-
clockwise to remove.

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM CARB

AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
AIR INJECTION
The air induction system burns unburned
exhaust gases by injecting fresh air (secondary
air) into the exhaust port, reducing the
emission of hydrocarbons.
When there is negative pressure at the exhaust
port, the reed valve opens, allowing secondary
air to flow into the exhaust port. The required
temperature for burning the unburned exhaust
gases is approximately 600 to 700 °C.
AIR CUT-OFF VALVE

The air cutoff valve is operated by the intake gas
pressure through the piston valve diaphragm.
ç Normally, the air cut-off valve is open to allow
fresh air to flow into the exhaust port (å to ∫).
During sudden deceleration (the throttle valve
suddenly closes), negative pressure (ç) is gen-
erated and the air cutoff valve is closed in order
to prevent after-burning. Additionally, at high
engine speeds and when the pressure decreas-
å
es, the air cut-off valve automatically closes to
guard against a loss of performance.
å From the air filter

∫ To the cylinder head
ç To the intake manifold

Refer to “ADJUSTING THE DRIVE CHAIN
SLACK” in chapter 3.
Drive chain slack

25–35 mm (0.98–1.38 in)
cC
A drive chain that is too tight will overload
the engine and other vital parts, and one that
is too loose can skip and damage the
swingarm or cause an accident. Therefore,
keep the drive chain slack within the speci-
fied limits.

CHECKING SWITCH CONTINUITY

Check each switch for continuity with the pocket
tester. If the continuity reading is incorrect,
check the wiring connections and if necessary,
replace the switch.
cC
Never insert the tester probes into the cou-
1 pler terminal slots 1. Always insert the
probes from the opposite end of the coupler,
taking care not to loosen or damage the
leads.
Pocket tester
90890-03112
NOTE:
9Before checking for continuity, set the pocket
tester to “0” and to the “Ω × 1” range.
9When checking for continuity, switch back and
forth between the switch positions a few times.
b
The terminal connections for switches (e.g.,
Br R
main switch, engine stop switch) are shown in
a OFF
ON an illustration similar to the one on the left.
The switch positions a are shown in the far left
Br R column and the switch lead colors b are shown
in the top row in the switch illustration.
NOTE:
“1—1” indicates a continuity of electricity
between switch terminals (i.e., a closed circuit at
the respective switch position).
The example illustration on the left shows

that:
There is continuity between red and brown
when the switch is set to “ON”.

CHECKING THE BULBS AND BULB SOCKETS ELEC

EAS00732
CHECKING THE BULBS AND

BULB SOCKETS
Check each bulb and bulb socket for damage or
wear, proper connections, and also for continu-
ity between the terminals.
Damage/wear → Repair or replace the
bulb, bulb socket or both.
Improperly connected → Properly connect.
No continuity → Repair or replace the bulb,
bulb socket or both.
TYPES OF BULBS
The bulbs used on this vehicle are shown in the
A B
illustration on the left.
9Bulbs A and B are used for the headlights
and usually use a bulb holder that must be
detached before removing the bulb. The major-
ity of these types of bulbs can be removed
from their respective socket by turning them
counterclockwise.
9Bulb C is used for turn signal and tail/brake
lights and can be removed from the socket by
pushing and turning the bulb counterclockwise.
C 9Bulbs D and E are used for meter and indica-
D E tor lights and can be removed from their
respective sockets by carefully pulling them
out.

bulbs.
1. Remove:
9bulb
w
Since the headlight bulb gets extremely hot,
keep flammable products and your hands
away from the bulb until it has cooled down.
cC
9Be sure to hold the socket firmly when
removing the bulb. Never pull the lead, oth-
erwise it may be pulled out of the terminal
in the coupler.
9Avoid touching the glass part of the head-
light bulb to keep it free from oil, otherwise
the transparency of the glass, the life of the
bulb, and the luminous flux will be adverse-
ly affected. If the headlight bulb gets soiled,
thoroughly clean it with a cloth moistened
with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
2. Check:
9bulb (for continuity)
No continuity → Replace.
Pocket tester
90890-03112
NOTE:
Before checking for continuity, set the pocket
tester to “0” and to the “Ω × 1” range.
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Connect the positive tester probe to termi-
nal 1 and the negative tester probe to ter-
minal 2, and check for continuity.
b. Connect the positive tester probe to termi-
nal 1 and the negative tester probe to ter-
minal 3, and check for continuity.
