WARNING
To check the operation
Checking and lubricating the
sidestand
The operation of the sidestand should
be checked before each ride, and the
sidestand pivot and metal-to-metal
contact surfaces should be lubricated
if necessary.
If the sidestand does not move up
and down smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or repair it.
Otherwise, the sidestand could
contact the ground and distract the
operator, resulting in a possible
loss of control.
Recommended lubricant:
Lithium-soap-based grease
Lubricating the swingarm pivots
The swingarm pivots must be
lubricated by a Yamaha dealer at the
intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart.

Checking the front fork
The condition and operation of the
front fork must be checked as follows
at the intervals specified in the
periodic maintenance and lubrication
chart.
To check the condition
Check the inner tubes for scratches,
damage and excessive oil leakage.
Place the vehicle on a level surface
and hold it in an upright position.

securely support the vehicle so
there is no danger of it falling
over.
While applying the front brake,
push down hard on the handlebars
several times to check if the front
fork compresses and rebounds
