Checking and lubricating the cables

The operation and the condition of all control ca-
bles should be checked before each ride, and the
cables and cable ends should be lubricated if nec-
essary. If a cable is damaged or does not move
smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer check or replace
it.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil
WARNING
Inspect cables frequently and replace if dam-
aged. Corrosion can result when the cable
sheaths become damaged, and cables can
also become frayed or kinked, which could re-
strict the operation of controls and lead to an
accident or injury.
Checking and lubricating the front and
rear brake levers
The operation of the front and rear brake levers
should be checked before each ride, and the lever
pivots should be lubricated if necessary.
