WARNING

aged. Corrosion can result when the outer cov-
ering of control cables becomes damaged.
Cables can also become frayed or kinked. Op-
eration 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.

CAUTION:
In order to prevent clutch slippage (since the en-
gine 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 CONSERVING II” or higher.
