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
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or re-
place it. WARNING! Damage to the
outer sheath may interfere with
proper cable operation and will
cause the inner cable to rust. Re-
place a damaged cable as soon as
possible to prevent unsafe condi-
tions.

Checking and lubricating the

throttle grip and cable

The operation of the throttle grip
should be checked before each ride.
In addition, the cable should be lubri-
cated by a Yamaha dealer at the inter-
vals specified
maintenance chart.
The throttle cable is equipped with a
rubber boot. Make sure that the boot is
securely installed. Even though the
boot is installed correctly, it does not
completely protect the cable from wa-
ter entry. Therefore, use care not to
pour water directly onto the boot or ca-
ble when washing the vehicle. If the
cable or boot becomes dirty, wipe
clean with a moist cloth.
