IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PREPARATION FOR REMOVAL
PROCEDURES
1.Remove all dirt, mud, dust and foreign material before removal and disassembly.
2.Use proper tools and cleaning equipment.
Refer to the “SPECIAL TOOLS” section.
3.When disassembling the machine, always
keep mated parts together. This includes
gears, cylinder, piston and other parts that
have been “mated” through normal wear.
Mated parts must always be reused or
replaced as an assembly.
4.During machine disassembly, clean all parts
and place them in trays in the order of disassembly. This will speed up assembly and
allow for the correct installation of all parts.
5.Keep all parts away from any source of fire.

EB101010

REPLACEMENT PARTS
1.Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all
replacements. Use oil and grease recommended by Yamaha for all lubrication jobs.
Other brands may be similar in function and
appearance, but inferior in quality.

EB101020

GASKETS, OIL SEALS AND O-RINGS
1.Replace all gaskets, seals and O-rings when
overhauling the engine. All gasket surfaces,
oil seal lips and O-rings must be cleaned.
2.Properly oil all mating parts and bearings
during reassembly. Apply grease to the oil
seal lips.

HOW TO USE THE CONVERSION
TABLE

GENERAL TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS

All specification data in this manual are listed
in SI and METRIC UNITS.
Use this table to convert METRIC unit data to
IMPERIAL unit data.

This chart specifies torque for standard fasteners with standard I.S.O. pitch threads. Torque
specifications for special components or
assemblies are provided for each chapter of
this manual. To avoid warpage, tighten multifastener assemblies in a crisscross fashion, in
progressive stages, until the specified torque is
reached. Unless otherwise specified, torque
specifications require clean, dry threads. Components should be at room temperature.

CHECKING THE BATTERY
NOTE:
Since the MF battery is a sealed type battery, it
is not possible to measure the specific gravity
of the electrolyte in order to check the charge
state of the battery. Therefore the charge of
the battery has to be checked by measuring
the voltage at the battery terminals.

CAUTION:
CHARGING METHOD
● This is a sealed type battery. Never
remove the sealing caps. If the sealing
caps have been removed, the balance will
not be maintained and battery performance will deteriorate.
time, charging current and
● Charging
charging voltage for the MF battery are
different from those of general type batteries. The MF battery should be charged
as explained in “CHARGING METHOD”. If
the battery is overcharged, the electrolyte
level will drop considerably. Therefore,
take special care when charging the battery.

WARNING
Battery electrolyte is dangerous; it contains sulfuric acid which is poisonous and
highly caustic.
Always follow these preventive measures:
● Avoid bodily contact with electrolyte as it
can cause severe burns or permanent eye
injury.
● Wear protective eye gear when handling
or working near batteries.
Antidote (EXTERNAL):
● SKIN - Wash with water.
● EYES - Flush with water for 15 minutes
and get immediate medical attention.
Antidote (INTERNAL):
● Drink large quantities of water or milk followed with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Get immediate medical
attention.

Batteries generate explosive hydrogen gas.
Always follow these preventive measures:
● Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area.
● Keep batteries away from fire, sparks or
open flames (e.g., welding equipment,
lighted cigarettes, etc.).
● DO NOT SMOKE when charging or handling batteries.
KEEP BATTERIES AND ELECTROLYTE
OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
1.Remove:
● Seat
● Battery holding bracket
Refer to “SEAT, FENDERS AND FUEL
TANK”.

2.Disconnect:
● Battery leads

CAUTION:
First disconnect the negative lead 1, then
disconnect the positive lead 2.
3.Remove:
● Battery

4.Check:
● Battery condition

***********************************************
Battery condition checking steps:
● Connect a digital voltmeter to the battery terminals.
Tester (+) lead → battery (+) terminal
Tester (–) lead → battery (–) terminal
NOTE:
The charge state of an MF battery can be
checked by measuring the open-circuit voltage
(i.e. the voltage when the positive terminal is
disconnected).

● Check

the condition of the battery using the
following charts.
Example:
● Open-circuit voltage = 12.0 V
● Charging time = 6.5 hours
● Charge condition of the battery = 20 ~ 30%
● Charging method for MF batteries

CAUTION:
●

●

●

●

●

●

If it is impossible to set the standard
charging current, be careful not to overcharge.
When charging the battery, be sure to
remove it from the motorcycle. (If charging has to be done with the battery
mounted on the motorcycle, be sure to
disconnect the wire at the negative terminal.)
Never remove the sealing caps of an MF
battery.
Make sure that the charging clips are in
full contact with the terminal and that they
are not shorted together. (A corroded clip
on the charger may cause the battery to
generate heat in the contact area. A weak
clip spring may cause sparks.)
Before removing the clips from the battery terminals, be sure to turn off the
charger’s power switch.
The open-circuit voltage variation for the
MF battery, after charging, is shown
below. As shown in the figure, the opencircuit voltage stabilizes about 30 minutes after charging has been completed.
Therefore, wait 30 minutes after charging
is completed before measuring the opencircuit voltage.

HANDLING THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER
AND GAS CYLINDER

WARNING
This rear shock absorber and gas cylinder
contain highly compressed nitrogen gas.
Before handling the rear shock absorber or
gas cylinder, read and make sure you
understand the following information. The
manufacturer cannot be held responsible
for property damage or personal injury that
may result from improper handling of the
rear shock absorber and gas cylinder.
● Do not tamper or attempt to open the rear
shock absorber or gas cylinder.
● Do not subject the rear shock absorber or
gas cylinder to an open flame or any
other source of high heat. High heat can
cause an explosion due to excessive gas
pressure.
● Do not deform or damage the rear shock
absorber or gas cylinder in any way. If the
rear shock absorber, gas cylinder or both
are damaged, damping performance will
suffer.

DISPOSING OF A REAR SHOCK
ABSORBER AND GAS CYLINDER
Gas pressure must be released before disposing of a rear shock absorber and gas cylinder.
To release the gas pressure, press on the gas
valve needle with a suitable tool as shown,
until all of the gas is released (the hissing has
stopped).
