Periodic maintenance and adjustment
1
Periodic inspection, adjustment, and lu-
brication will keep your vehicle in the
2
safest and most efficient condition pos-
sible. Safety is an obligation of the vehi-
3
cle owner/operator. The most important
points of vehicle inspection, adjust-
4
ment, and lubrication are explained on
the following pages.
The intervals given in the periodic
5
maintenance charts should be simply
considered as a general guide under
6
normal riding conditions. However, de-
pending on the weather, terrain, geo-
7
graphical location, and individual use,
the maintenance intervals may need to
be shortened.

Emission controls not only function to
ensure cleaner air, but are also vital to
unless
otherwise
proper engine operation and maximum
performance. In the following periodic
maintenance charts, the services relat-
ed to emissions control are grouped
separately. These services require
specialized
equipment. Maintenance, replacement,
or repair of the emission control devic-
es and systems may be performed by
any repair establishment or individual
that is certified (if applicable). Yamaha
dealers are trained and equipped to
perform these particular services.
