Checking the wheel bearings
The front and rear wheel bearings must
be checked at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart. If there is play in the wheel
hub or if the wheel does not turn
smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer check
the wheel bearings.

Battery
A poorly maintained battery will corrode
and discharge quickly. The electrolyte
level, battery lead connections and
breather hose routing should be
checked before each ride and at the in-
tervals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
To check the electrolyte level
1. Remove the seat. (See page 3-8.)
2. Disconnect the negative battery
lead from the battery.
3. Disconnect the positive battery
lead and the battery breather hose
from the battery.
4. Unhook the battery band, and then
pull the battery out of the battery
compartment.
5. Place the battery on a level sur-
face, and then check the electro-
lyte level in the battery.
NOTE:
The electrolyte should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.
