1-CLEANING AND STORAGE
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.

3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden
hose. Use only enough pressure to do the
job. WARNING! Test the brakes after
washing. Apply the brakes several times
at slow speeds to let friction dry out the
linings. Wet brakes may have reduced
stopping ability, increasing the chance of
an accident. NOTICE: Excessive water
pressure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings, brakes,
transmission seals and electrical devices.
Many expensive repair bills have resulted
from improper high-pressure detergent
applications, such as those available in
coin-operated car washers.

3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the
ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet
to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmosphere,
coat all exposed metal surfaces with a light
film of oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber parts
or the seat covers.
7. Remove the battery and charge it. Store it in
a dry place and recharge it once a month. Do
not store the battery in an excessively warm
or cold place [less than 0°C (30°F) or more
than 30°C (90°F)].
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner eliminates
the need to drain the fuel system. Consult a
Yamaha dealer if the fuel system needs to be
drained.
