EBU32550Brake light switch adjustmentThe brake light switch, which is activated by
the brake pedal, is properly adjusted when
the brake light comes on just before braking
takes effect. If necessary, adjust the brake
light switch as follows.
Turn the adjusting nut while holding the brake
light switch in place. To make the brake light
come on earlier, turn the adjusting nut in di-
rection (a). To make the brake light come on
later, turn the adjusting nut in direction (b).
EBU32560Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
EWB03380Damaged cables could restrict operation,
which may cause an accident or injury. In-
spect control cables frequently and re-
place damaged 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
operate smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to re-
place them.EBU32570Brake pedal and accelerator pedal lu-

EBU32700TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha vehicles receive an inspec-
tion before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem in
the fuel, compression, or ignition systems can
cause poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy
procedure for making checks. If your vehicle
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha deal-
er.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU32730CleaningFrequent, 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, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply 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 ac-
cident.
[EWB03470]

NOTICE: Excessive wa-
ter pressure may cause water seepage
and deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electri-
cal devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high-
pressure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
[ECB00712]
TIPThe tailgate can be removed to make it easier
to clean the cargo bed. To separate the tail-
gate from the cargo bed, unhook the latches,
lift the left side of the tailgate and pull the tail-
gate to the left. 4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy
for hard-to-get-at places.
