PERIODIC CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS
INTRODUCTION
This chapter includes all information necessary to perform recommended inspections and adjust-
ments. These preventive maintenance procedures, if followed, will ensure more reliable vehicle opera-
tion and longer service life. The need for costly overhaul work will be greatly reduced. This information
applies to vehicles already in service as well as to new vehicles that are being prepared for sale. All
service technicians should be familiar with this entire chapter.
The annual checks must be performed every year, except if a kilometer-based maintenance
is performed instead.
From 50,000 km, repeat the maintenance intervals starting from 10,000 km.
Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special
tools, data and technical skills.
