EBU35930Cable 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.
EBU35200Pedal lubricationThe pivoting parts of the brake, clutch, and
accelerator pedals should be lubricated peri-
odically to prevent rust and ensure smooth
operation.
Recommended lubricant:Yamalube LubezAll (synthetic lubricant spray with PTFE)
Recommended lubricant: Lithium-soap-based grease

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU35920CleaningFrequent, 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 pipeto prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plugs 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 the brakes. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability, in-
creasing the chance of an accident.
[EWB03471]

NOTICE: Excessive water pres-
sure 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]
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.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent
cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery cleaner to keep the covers pliable and
glossy.
