MAINTENANCE INTERVALS

  • After a break-in or before each race, always check the points shown in “TORQUE-CHECK POINTS” for tightening torques and retighten them.

  • Periodic inspection is essential in making full use of the machine performance. The life of parts varies significantly according to the environment in which the machine runs (e.g., rain, dirt, etc.). Therefore, earlier inspection is required by reference to the list below.

Items marked with an asterisk should be performed by a Yamaha dealer as they require special tools, data and technical skills.
