TIP
 Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by your Yamaha dealer because these items require special tools,
data, and technical skills.
 From 50000 km (30000 mi), repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10000 km (6000 mi).
 The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a distance-based maintenance is performed in-

 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.
