oughly in solvent.wAlways use parts cleaning solvent to clean
the air filter element. Never use low flash
point solvents or gasoline to clean the air fil-
ter element because the engine could catch
fire or explode.6. Squeeze the excess solvent out of the air fil-

NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20 – 40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricat-
ed more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time air filter ele-
ment maintenance is performed, check the air
inlet to the air filter case for obstructions. Check
the air filter case rubber joint to the carburetor
and manifold fittings for an airtight seal. Tighten
all fittings securely to avoid the possibility of
unfiltered air entering the engine.cCNever operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally, opera-
tion without the air filter element will affect
carburetor jetting with subsequent poor per-
formance and possible engine overheating.

EBU01143Idle 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 to the spark plug
lead, and then set the idle to the specified
idling speed by adjusting the throttle stop
screw. Turn the screw in direction ato
increase the engine speed, and in direction
bto decrease the 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.EAU00307Throttle lever adjustmentNOTE:
Adjust the engine idling speed before adjusting
the throttle lever free play.1. Loosen the locknut.

2. Wipe the drive chain dry.
3. Thoroughly lubricate the drive chain with a
special O-ring chain lubricant.cCDo not use engine oil or any other lubricants
for the drive chain, as they may contain sub-
stances that could damage the O-rings.EBU00355Draining the V-belt compartment
If water leaks into the V-belt compartment such
as when the machine is driven in water, remove
the drain screw on the bottom of compartment
and drain the water. Be sure to drive slowly until

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
