limiter could cause improper throttle
operation. You could lose control,
have an accident or be injured. Do
not turn the adjusting screw out

sulting a Yamaha dealer. Always
make sure the throttle cable free
play is adjusted to 1.5–3.5 mm 
(0.06–0.14 in). (See page 6-11.)

Once the rider can operate with skill at
the top speed permitted by adjusting

duction plate can be removed. (See

WARNING
 
EWA11091

Leaking fuel is a fire hazard. 
EAU13221 
Fuel  
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
 
EWA10881 
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow 
these instructions.  
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters and
clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.
