Cleaning and lubricating the
drive chain
The drive chain must be cleaned and
lubricated at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart, otherwise it will quickly wear

wet areas. Service the drive chain as
follows.

The drive chain must be lubricated
after washing the machine and
riding in the rain.
1. Clean the drive chain with kero-
sene and a small soft brush.
CAUTION:
To prevent damaging the O-rings, do
not clean the drive chain with steam
cleaners, high-pressure washers or
inappropriate solvents.
2. Wipe the drive chain dry.
3. Thoroughly lubricate the drive
chain with a special O-ring chain
lubricant.

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-
bles and cable ends should be lubricat-
ed if necessary. If a cable is damaged
or does not move smoothly, have a
Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
Damage to the outer housing of ca-
bles may result in internal rusting
and cause interference with cable
movement. Replace damaged ca-
bles as soon as possible to prevent
unsafe conditions.
