For the Yamaha XV17ASE C 2014, it is recommended to use Yamalube 10W-40 or any high-quality equivalent oil that meets or exceeds API service SG type.

The recommended tire pressure for the Yamaha XV17ASE C 2014 is 36 psi for the front tire and 41 psi for the rear tire when cold.
First, check the battery connections and ensure they are clean and tight. Then, verify the battery charge and replace if necessary. If the issue persists, inspect the starter motor and relay for any faults.
Regularly inspect the belt for signs of wear or damage, and check the tension according to the service manual specifications. Clean the belt and pulleys with a mild soap solution, and avoid using harsh chemicals.

To adjust the clutch lever, locate the adjustment screw near the lever pivot. Turn the screw to adjust the free play to approximately 10-15 mm (0.4-0.6 in) for optimal engagement.
