Checking and lubricating the
throttle grip and cable
The operation of the throttle grip should
be checked before each ride. In addi-
tion, the cable should be lubricated by a
Yamaha dealer at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance chart.
The throttle cable is equipped with a
rubber cover. Make sure that the cover
is securely installed. Even though the
cover is installed correctly, it does not
completely protect the cable from water
entry. Therefore, use care not to pour
water directly onto the cover or cable
when washing the vehicle. If the cable
or cover becomes dirty, wipe clean with
a moist cloth.

intervals specified in the periodic main-
tenance and lubrication chart.

Checking and lubricating the
centerstand
The operation of the centerstand
should be checked before each ride,
and the pivots and metal-to-metal con-
tact surfaces should be lubricated if
necessary.

If the centerstand does not move up
and down smoothly, have a Yamaha
dealer check or repair it. Otherwise,
the centerstand could contact the
ground and distract the operator, re-
sulting in a possible loss of control.
