Regular maintenance includes checking and changing the engine oil, inspecting the brake fluid levels, checking tire pressure and tread, cleaning and lubing the chain, and inspecting the air filter. Refer to the owner's manual for specific intervals and procedures.
Use Yamalube 4-Stroke oil or equivalent with a viscosity of 10W-40. Ensure the oil meets or exceeds the specifications set in the owner's manual.
Check the battery charge and connections, ensure the kill switch is in the 'run' position, check the fuel level, and inspect the spark plugs for fouling. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
Stop the motorcycle and let it cool down. Check the coolant level and ensure the cooling fan is operational. Inspect for any leaks or blockages in the cooling system. If the problem continues, seek professional assistance.
Adjust the clutch cable by loosening the lock nut and turning the adjuster to achieve the desired free play, typically 10-15mm at the lever end. Tighten the lock nut after adjustment.
Excessive vibration could be due to unbalanced tires, loose engine mounts, or worn-out components. Check tire balance, inspect engine mounts, and ensure all bolts are tightened to specification.
Remove the seat and side cover to access the air filter box. Open the air filter box, take out the old filter, and replace it with a new one, ensuring it is seated correctly before reassembling the components.
The recommended tire pressure is 33 psi for the front tire and 36 psi for the rear tire. Always check tire pressure when the tires are cold for accurate measurements.
Ensure regular maintenance, such as timely oil changes and air filter replacements. Ride smoothly and avoid rapid acceleration or deceleration. Maintain correct tire pressure and reduce excess weight on the bike.
Check the brake fluid level and top it up if necessary. Bleed the brakes to remove any air in the brake lines. Inspect brake pads for wear and replace them if they are worn out. If the issue persists, consult a professional technician.
