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 replace
it.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil

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
conditions.

Brake fluid may deteriorate painted
surfaces or plastic parts. Always
clean up spilled fluid immediately.

As the brake pads wear, it is nor-
mal for the brake fluid level to
gradually go down. However, if the
brake fluid level goes down
suddenly, have a Yamaha dealer
check the cause.
