Speed limiter
For riders inexperienced with this model, this mod-
el is equipped with a speed limiter in the throttle le-
ver housing. The speed limiter limits the power
and top speed of the ATV. Turning the screw in de-
creases top speed, and turning it out increases top
speed.
Loading and accessories
Use extra caution when riding the ATV with addi-
tional loads, such as accessories or cargo. The
ATV’s handling may be adversely affected. Re-
duce your speed when adding additional loads.

Observe these precautions:

When checking the fluid level, make sure the
top of the brake fluid reservoir is level.


Use only the designated quality brake fluid.
Otherwise, the rubber seals may deteriorate,
causing leakage and poor brake performance.


Refill with the same type of brake fluid. Mixing
fluids may result in a harmful chemical reaction
and lead to poor brake performance.


Be careful that water does not enter the brake
fluid reservoir when refilling. Water will signifi-
cantly lower the boiling point of the fluid and
may result in vapor lock.


Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid im-
mediately.


Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if the
brake fluid level goes down. Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
