Checking and lubricating the

The operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-

Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
WARNING! Damage to the outer

ence with cable movement. Replace
damaged cables as soon as possi-
ble to prevent unsafe
tions.
