4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-

mended to apply a corrosion pro-
tection spray on all metal,
including chrome- and nickel-plat-
ed, surfaces.

5. Use spray oil as a universal clean-

er to remove any remaining dirt.

6. Touch up minor paint damage

WARNING

EWA11130

Make sure that there is no oil or
wax on the brakes or tires.

If necessary, clean the brake
discs and brake linings with a
regular brake disc cleaner or ac-
etone, and wash the tires with
warm water and a mild deter-
gent. Before riding at higher
speeds, test the motorcycle’s
braking performance and cor-
nering behavior.

CAUTION:

ECA10800

Apply spray oil and wax spar-
ingly and make sure to wipe off
any excess.

Never apply oil or wax to any
rubber and plastic parts, but
treat them with a suitable care
product.

Avoid using abrasive polishing
compounds as they will wear
away the paint.

Consult a Yamaha dealer for advice on
what products to use.

EAU37220

Storage 

Short-term

Always store your motorcycle in a cool,
dry place and, if necessary, protect it
against dust with a porous cover.

CAUTION:

ECA10810

Storing the motorcycle in a
poorly ventilated room or cover-
ing it with a tarp, while it is still
wet, will allow water and humid-
ity to seep in and cause rust.

To prevent corrosion, avoid
damp cellars, stables (because
of the presence of ammonia)
and areas where strong chemi-
cals are stored.

Long-term

Before storing your motorcycle for sev-
eral months:

1. Follow all the instructions in the

“Care” section of this chapter.

2. Turn the fuel cock lever to “OFF” or

”.
