In “DIFF UNLOCK” mode, the maximum traveling speed is lower than in the other drive modes.
When the On-Command drive knob is turned to a different position, the corresponding indicator (and the in-
dicator light) in the multi-function meter unit flash as follows until the gears are engaged or disengaged.ACE-02E

TIP

To help the gears engage or disengage when a drive indicator (and indicator light) is flashing, make
sure that there are no obstacles or people around the vehicle, and then briefly operate the vehicle a
few times in reverse and forward until the indicator (and indicator light) for the selected drive mode
comes on. In addition to operating in reverse and forward, also turning the steering wheel back and
forth will help the front differential gear lock engage or disengage.


When the On-Command drive indicator “” or the On-Command drive indicator “” and the “DIFF.
LOCK” indicator light are flashing, the vehicle speed is limited. The vehicle speed returns to normal
when the differential gear engagement or disengagement is completed and the indicators and indica-
tor light stop flashing.

Inspection
The spark plug is an important engine component
and is easy to inspect. The condition of the spark
plug can indicate the condition of the engine.
The ideal color of the porcelain insulator around
the center electrode is a medium-to-light tan for a
vehicle that is being ridden normally.
You should periodically remove and inspect the
spark plug because heat and deposits will cause
the spark plug to slowly break down and erode. If
electrode erosion becomes excessive, or if carbon
and other deposits are excessive, you should re-
place the spark plug with the specified plug.
Specified spark plug:

Cleaning the spark arrester
WARNING
Hot exhaust system may cause burns. To
avoid burns or fires, make sure that the engine
is stopped and the exhaust system is cool be-
fore cleaning the spark arrester. Do not start
the engine while cleaning the exhaust system.1. Remove the bolts.
2. Remove the tailpipe by pulling it out of the
muffler, and then remove the gasket.
3. Tap the tailpipe lightly, and then use a wire
brush to remove any carbon deposits from
the spark arrester portion of the tailpipe and
inside of the tailpipe housing.
4. Install the gasket, and then insert the tailpipe
into the muffler and align the bolt holes.

Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
Damaged cables could restrict operation,
which may cause an accident or injury. Inspect
control cables frequently and replace dam-
aged cables. Corrosion can result when the
outer covering of control cables becomes
damaged. Cables can also become frayed or
kinked.Lubricate the cable ends. If the cables do not oper-
ate smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to replace
them.
Recommended lubricant:
Lithium-soap-based grease
