be checked for grease leakage before
each ride. If any leakage is found, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the
motorcycle. In addition, have a
Yamaha dealer check and lubricate the middle and final gears at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.

the remaining solvent out. 4. Apply oil of the recommended type
to the entire surface of the sponge
material, and then squeeze the ex-
cess oil out.
