Cable inspection and lubrication
w
Inspect 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

B. 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. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines and carbure-
tor float bowls.
2. Remove the spark plugs, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the spark plug holes and rein-
stall the spark plugs. Ground the spark
plug wires and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Clean the drive chain thoroughly and lubri-
cate it. (See page 8-95 for details.)
Reinstall the chain or store it in a plastic
bag tied to frame for safekeeping.
4. Lubricate all control cables.

In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the
engine oil also lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do not use oils
with a diesel specification of “CD” or oils of
a higher quality than specified. In addition,
do not use oils labeled “ENERGY CONSERV-
ING
II” or higher.
