Checking and lubricating the
cables
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.
Recommended lubricant:

bles may result in internal rusting
and cause interference with cable
movement. Replace damaged ca-
bles as soon as possible to prevent
unsafe conditions.
