idle speed for 5-10 minutes.

Stop the engine and leave it for 5-10 min-
utes.

Remove the oil filler cap. Pull out the dip-
stick and use the oil changer to extract
the oil completely.

Add the correct amount of oil through the
filler hole. Put back the filler cap and the
dipstick.

oil level is above the upper level mark,
drain until the level meets the speci-

Be sure to completely insert the dipstick
into the dipstick guide, otherwise the oil

and lower marks. Consult your Yamaha
dealer if the oil level is out of specified lev-
el.
