Lubrication

1)Remove the spark plug(s). Spray a “Yamaha Stor-Rite Engine Fogging Oil” into each cylinder for 5 seconds. Grease the spark plug threads and reinstall the spark plug(s) and torque to proper specification. (Refer to

“CLEANING AND ADJUSTING SPARK PLUG”.)

2)Turn the engine over with the stop lanyard disconnected to work the fog- ging oil into the piston rings.

3)Fill the oil tanks. This prevents the for- mation of condensation. For models with a remote tank, it may be neces- sary to manually override the control unit to completely fill the engine main tank. (Refer to Filling Oil section).

4)Change the gear-case oil. (Refer to “CHANGING GEAR OIL”). Inspect the oil for the presence of water which indicates a leaky seal. Seal replace- ment should be performed by an authorized Yamaha dealership prior to use.

5)Grease all grease fittings. (Refer to

“GREASING”)
