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 cables and cable ends should
be lubricated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or repla-
ce it. WARNING! Damage to the
outer sheath may interfere with
proper cable operation and will
cause the inner cable to rust.
Replace a damaged cable as soon
as possible to prevent unsafe con-
ditions.
