Tips for reducing fuel consumptionYour motorcycle’s fuel consumptiondepends to a large extent on yourriding style. The following tips can helpreduce fuel consumption:

● Warm up the engine before riding.● Turn off the starter (choke) as

soon as possible.● Shift up swiftly and avoid high en-

gine speeds during acceleration.● Do not double-clutch or rev the en-

gine while shifting down and avoidhigh engine speeds with no loadon the engine.

● Turn off the engine instead of let-ting it idle for an extended lengthof time, i.e. in traffic jams, at trafficlights or railroad crossings.

InspectionThe spark plug is an important enginecomponent and is easy to inspect. Thecondition of the spark plug can indicatethe condition of the engine. Normally,all spark plugs from the same engineshould have the same color on thewhite insulator around the center elec-trode. The ideal color at this point is amedium-to-light tan color for a motor-cycle that is being ridden normally. Ifone spark plug shows a distinctly differ-ent color, there could be somethingwrong with the engine. Do not attemptto diagnose such problems yourself. In-stead, take the motorcycle to aYamaha dealer.

UTION: not use warm water since it in-ases the corrosive action of thet.

Be sure to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all (even chrome-and nickel-plated) metal surfacesto prevent corrosion.

After cleaning1. Dry the motorcycle with a chamois

or an absorbing cloth.2. Immediately dry the drive chain

and lubricate it to prevent it fromrusting.

3. Use a chrome polish to shinechrome, aluminum and stainless-steel parts, including the exhaustsystem. (Even the thermally in-duced discoloring of stainless-steel exhaust systems can be re-moved through polishing.)

4. To prevent corrosion, it is recom-mended to apply a corrosion pro-tection spray on all (even chrome-and nickel-plated) metal surfaces.

5. Use spray oil as a universal clean-er to remove any remaining dirt.

6. Touch up minor paint damagecaused by stones, etc.
