after washing the motorcycle and
riding in the rain.

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 lubri-
cated if necessary. If a cable is dam-
aged or does not move smoothly, have
a Yamaha dealer check or replace it.
Damage to the outer sheath may in-
terfere with proper cable operation
and will cause the inner cable to
rust. Replace a damaged cable as
soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
