EBU00301Idle speed adjustmentNOTE:
A diagnostic tachometer must be used for this
procedure.1. Start the engine and warm it up for a few
minutes at approximately 1,000 to 2,000
r/min. Occasionally rev the engine to 4,000
to 5,000 r/min. The engine is warm when it
quickly responds to the throttle.
2. Connect the tachometer and set the idle to
the specified idling speed by adjusting the
throttle stop screw. Turn the screw in to
increase engine speed, and out to
decrease engine speed.

EBU00303Valve clearance adjustment
The correct valve clearance changes with use,
resulting in improper fuel/air supply or engine
noise. To prevent this, the valve clearance must
be adjusted regularly. This adjustment however,
should be left to a professional Yamaha service
technician.EBU00304Cam chain adjustment
The cam chain becomes loose with use, result-
ing in improper valve timing and engine noise.
To prevent this, the cam chain tensioner must
be adjusted regularly. This adjustment should be
left to a Yamaha service technician.

EBU00570Cable inspection and lubricationwInspect cables frequently and replace if dam-
aged. Corrosion can result when the outer
covering of control cables becomes dam-
aged. Cables can also become frayed or
kinked. Operation of controls could be
restricted, which could cause an accident or
injury.Lubricate the inner cables and the cable ends. If
the cables do not operate smoothly, ask a
Yamaha dealer to replace them.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil

CLEANING AND STORAGE
A. CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your machine
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend the
useful life of many components.
1. Before cleaning the machine:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to
prevent water entry. A plastic bag and
strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler caps
are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy,
apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do not
apply degreaser to the wheel axles.

6. Clean the seat with a vinyl upholstery
cleaner to keep the cover pliable and
glossy.
7. Automotive type wax may be applied to all
painted and chrome plated surfaces. Avoid
combination cleaner-waxes. Many contain
abrasives which may mar the paint or pro-
tective finish.
When finished, start the engine and let it
idle for several minutes.wWet brakes may have reduced stopping abili-
ty, increasing the chance of an accident.
Test the brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to let
friction dry out the linings.

EBU00427B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. After thor-
oughly cleaning the machine, prepare for stor-
age as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
fuel stabilizer (if available).NOTE:
Use of fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to
drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha dealer
if the fuel system is to be drained instead.2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the spark plug hole and rein-
stall the spark plug. Ground the spark plug
wire and turn the engine over several times
to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
