Throttle lever
Once the engine is running, movement of the
throttle lever will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the machine by varying
the throttle position. Because the throttle is
spring-loaded, the machine will decelerate,
and the engine will return to an idle any time
the hand is removed from the throttle lever.
Before starting the engine, check the throttle to
be sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it
returns to the idle position as soon as the lever
is released.
WARNING
Malfunction of the throttle could make it diffi-
cult to speed up or slow down when you need
to. This could cause an accident. Check the op-
eration of the throttle lever before you start
the engine. If the throttle does not work
smoothly, check for the cause. Correct the
problem before riding the ATV or consult a
Yamaha dealer.

Speed limiter
The speed limiter keeps the throttle from fully
opening, even when the throttle lever is
pushed to the maximum. Screwing in the ad-
juster limits the maximum engine power avail-
able and decreases the maximum speed of the
ATV.
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the speed limiter and
throttle could cause throttle cable damage or
improper throttle operation. You could lose
control, have an accident or be injured. Do not
turn the speed adjuster out more than 12 mm
or the throttle cable could be damaged. Al-
ways make sure the throttle lever free play is
adjusted to 3 ~ 5 mm. See page 8-37.

WARNING
l
Always set the parking brake before start-
ing the engine. The ATV could start mov-
ing unexpectedly if the parking brake is
not applied. This could cause loss of con-
trol or a collision.
l
Always be sure you have released the
parking brake before you begin to ride.
The brake could overheat if you ride the
ATV without releasing the parking brake.
You could lose braking performance
which could cause an accident. You could
also wear out the brakes prematurely.

Rear shock absorber adjustment
The spring preload and damping force of the
rear shock absorber can be adjusted to suit the
rider’s weight and riding conditions.
WARNING
This shock absorber contains highly pressurized
nitrogen gas. Read and understand the following
information before handling the shock absorber.
1. Do not tamper with or attempt to open
the cylinder assembly.
2. Do not subject the shock absorber to an
open flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to explode due to
excessive gas pressure.
3. Do not deform or damage the cylinder in
any way. Cylinder damage will result in
poor damping performance.
4. Take the shock absorber to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.
1. Adjust spring preload as follows.
a. Loosen the locknut.
b. Turn the adjusting ring in direction a to
increase the spring preload and in direc-
tion b to decrease the spring preload.

ERWARNING
Always inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure the ATV is in safe operating condition.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in the Owner’s
Manual. Failure to inspect increases the possibility of an accident or equipment damage.
AVERTISSEMENT
Toujours effectuer ces contrôles avant chaque départ afin de s’assurer que le VTT peut être utilisé en toute sécurité.
Toujours respecter les procédés et intervalles de contrôle et d’entretien repris dans ce manuel. Omettre ces con-
trôles accroît les risques d’accident ou d’endommagement du véhicule.
ADVERTENCIA
Inspeccionar siempre el ATV cada vez que vaya a utilizarse, para asegurarse de que está en condiciones
de funcionar sin peligro.
Seguir siempre los procedimientos y programas de inspección y mantenimiento descritos en el
Manual del Usuario. Si no se inspecciona la máquina, aumenta el riesgo de accidente o avería.

3. Brake fluid leakage
Check to see if any brake fluid is leaking
out of the pipe joints or master cylinders.
Apply the brakes firmly for one minute. If
there is any leaking, have the machine in-
spected by a Yamaha dealer.
4. Brake operation
Test the brakes at slow speed after start-
ing out to make sure they are working
properly. If the brakes do not provide
proper braking performance, inspect the
brake pads for wear. (See page 8-39.)
WARNING
Always check the brakes at the start of every
ride. Do not ride the ATV if you find any prob-
lem with the brakes or you could lose braking
ability, which could lead to an accident. If a
problem cannot be corrected by the adjust-
ment procedures provided in this manual,
have the ATV inspected by a Yamaha dealer.

WARNING
l
Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is over-
filled, fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.
l
Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on
the engine or exhaust pipe which can
cause a fire and severe injury. Wipe up
any spilled fuel immediately.
l
Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.

Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.
