On command four-wheel drive switch
“2WD/4WD”
To change from two-wheel drive (2WD) to
four-wheel drive (4WD), stop the ATV and set
the switch to the 4WD position.
To change from four-wheel drive (4WD) to
two-wheel drive (2WD), stop the ATV and set
the switch to the 2WD position.
WARNING

Always stop the ATV before changing from
2WD to 4WD or from 4WD to 2WD. The ATV
handles differently in 2WD than in 4WD in
some circumstances. Changing from 2WD to
4WD or vice-versa while moving may cause
the ATV to unexpectedly handle differently.
This could distract the operator and increase
the risk of losing control and an accident.

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 8-87.
