It is possible that your clutch is starting to wearout causing it to slip ever so slightly

Hi and welcome to the site,

Initially,is there a clicking sound? If yes, then check the starter relay. Temporarily jump the 2 big terminals. To locate the starter relay, follow the big cable from the battery's + terminal.

If there is no clicking sound, try starting with the clutch lever pulled and/or the sidestand folded up.

Good luck and thank you for asking.

Hi ,
It sounds like the brake lever maybe the wrong one and it applies pressure on the brakes while riding and heat up the pads . Once the pads cool down you can roll again .
Make sure your lever is the right one

This is a somewhat open Question/debate. It depends on what country you are in, what products are readly available to you, what your local climate is like. These things all affect which oil I would in any of my bikes.

It's safe to say that genuine Yamaha oil would be the safe sugestion.
Otherwise I would consult your owners manual as to the desired weight of oil for the season/temperature your in & substitute this with any leading brand of full synthetic MOTORCYCLE oil.

This is to say that car type oils are not designed spacifically for wet clutches & transmission lubrication which are major perameters when it comes to bike oils. This is also not to say that some high quality car oils would not work fine.

This is why I stick to motorcycle spacific oils/lubricants.

Leading brands that I have used are Bel-ray,motul,syn-lube,motorex,castrol,silkoline

Hope this helps Regards

open face shield and run a small coiled cable through helmet and under mid section of handlebar you can also run a jacket through it also...if long enough for both.

reservoir should have something in it ...it doesnt have to be full. a 1/4 tank of coolant will do. the bike should always be measured in the upright position, if you have sight glass, only fill it up 3/4 way, never full, its bad for the engine to have too much oil and once you go past the sight gauge you really dont know how much extra you put in it. usually 3 qts does it for almost all bikes w/filter it may take a 1/4 bottle more.just start at 2 and 1/2 run motor for a minute to let oil get into filter then finish filling up to the 3/4 mark. can i get a very helpful responce thanks man.

Spark plug swivel socket and a spanner wrench

There are four screws that hold it in place, take those out and pull the windshield up and towards the back of the bike. Some bending of the windshield may be necessary, it's a pain.

If you have the bike already a painter can find the color code on the bike itself.

This is from the service manual.
Fault code No.: 60
Symptom: Throttle servo motor: open or short circuit detected. Defective throttle servo motor. Malfunction in ECU (servo motor driving system).
Probable cause of malfunction:
•Open or short circuit in wire harness.
•Defective throttle servo motor (potentiometer circuit).
•Stuck throttle servo motor (mechanism).
•Stuck throttle servo motor (motor).
•Malfunction in ECU.

Made cheap and strong - normally not used or not used long - built to a price and style - which does not include comfort.

You could say the same about many other motorcycle seats - front AND back.

I hope this answers your question. If you want a comfortable seat, look at the after market seat industry.

hi buddy you have nothing to worry about the temperature on the radiator is a fan which should kick in at 105c and 1500 rpm is fine for your bike its standard setting which means at 1000pm the bike will continuouly cut out and this rpm get back to me if any probz bud

Probably a short in the system. Check all your fuses and if there is still a problem take the machine to Yamaha for repair. It might be a warranty claim.

Removing the indicators is a simple process involving the removal of the fairing to unclip and unplug them from the fairing. The plastic press studs that hold sections of the fairing in place are prone to breaking when you remove them but are easily obtained from your local Yamaha dealer and inexpensive.

The chain was probably loose enough to jump a tooth on the sprocket. That was the noise you heard. Adjust the chain but also check the sprockets. If worn as shown below you may need to replace the sprockets and the chain as well.

Just check to make sure you have the kickstand all the way up before putting it into gear. Also check the switch on the sidestand too.

What are you trying to acheive? if you are trying to start your bike and cant let me know the colour of your ignition wires and i will tell you what ones to use.

sounds like you might have a cracked cylinder and oil puddled up inside over night and when you started it..it blew out through the exhaust. White smoke means oil...black smoke means gas ,and blue smoke means both..if you cracked a water jacket your oil will look like a bubbly milk shake.....take a look at your oil.

HI.I WAS THE SAME WAY TOO,TIRES WAS MY PROBLEM BECAUSE I FIXED THE CLUTCH PROBLEM. IF YOU GO TO ANY ONE OF THOSE BIKE BOOKS YOU WILL FIND WHAT YOU NEED, MY CLUTCH WAS CALLED A RAMSEY STREET AND STRIP CLUTCH, IT COMES WITH DIFFERENT SIZES OF SPRINGS.ANYWAY IT WORKED FOR ME I HAD 1000 HONDA WITH A HOT BOX AND A 1355 KIT IN IT.

Remove the quick shifter and see if the shifting problem is still there. If so, you have a bent shift fork. Yes, the entire engine comes out and then the bottom case half is removed to gain acess to the gears and shift forks.
