A. Cleaning
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle will
not only enhance its appearance but will improve
its general performance and extend the useful life
of many components.
1. Before cleaning the vehicle:
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, ap-
ply degreaser with a paint brush. Do not ap-
ply degreaser to the wheel axles.

B. Storage
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your vehi-
cle will require some preventive procedures to
guard against deterioration. Make any necessary
repairs before storing the vehicle.
After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare for
storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the
specified amount of Yamaha Fuel Stabilizer
and Conditioner or equivalent product. Oper-
ate the vehicle for at least 5 minutes to dis-
tribute treated fuel through the fuel system.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one ta-
blespoon of SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50 motor
oil in the spark plug hole and reinstall the
spark plug. Ground the spark plug wire and
turn the engine over several times to coat the
cylinder wall with oil. Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel
(or 7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
