Damage to the outer housing of
cables may lead to internal rusting
and interfere with the cable move-
ment. Replace damaged cables as
soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
Lubricate the cables and cable ends.
If a cable does not operate smoothly,
ask a Yamaha dealer to replace it.

Throttle cable and grip
lubrication
The throttle twist grip assembly
EW000112
should be greased at the time that
the cable is lubricated, since the grip
must be removed to get at the end of
the throttle cable. After removing the
screws, hold the end of the cable up
in the air and put in several drops of
lubricant. With the throttle grip disas-
sembled, coat the metal surface of
the grip assembly with a suitable all-
purpose grease.
