(See page 4-14.)
The service information included in this
manual and the tools provided in the
7 owner’s tool kit are intended to assist
you in the performance of preventive
maintenance and minor repairs. How-
ever, additional tools such as a torque

certain maintenance work correctly.
TIP
If you do not have the tools or experi-

TIP
● The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance, or for the UK, a
mileage-based maintenance, is performed instead.
● From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).
● Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and technical
skills.

TIP
● Air filter
• 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.
