Fuel cock
The fuel cock supplies fuel from the
tank to the carburetor while filtering it
also.
The fuel cock has two positions:
OFF
With the lever in this position, fuel will
not flow. Always return the lever to this
position when the engine is not run-
ning.
ON
With the lever in this position, fuel flows
to the carburetor. Normal riding is done
with the lever in this position.
EAU13641
Starter (choke) kno b
Starting a cold engine requires a richer
air-fuel mixture, which is supplied by
the starter (choke).
Move the knob in direction (a) to turn

A djustin g the car buretor
The carburetor is an important part of
the engine and requires very sophisti-
cated adjustment. Therefore, most
carburetor adjustments should be left
to a Yamaha dealer, who has the nec-
essary professional knowledge and ex-
perience. The adjustment described in
the following section, however, may be
serviced by the owner as part of rou-
tine maintenance.
NOTICE
ECA10551
The car buretor has b een set and ex-
tensively teste d at the Yamaha fac-
tory. Chan gin g these settin gs
without sufficient technical knowl-
e dge may result in poor perfor-
mance of or damag e to the en gine.

The engine idling speed must be ad-
justed when necessary.
1. Start the engine and thoroughly warm it up.
2. Turn the throttle stop screw until the engine runs at the lowest pos-
sible speed.
3. To increase the engine idling speed, turn the throttle stop screw
in direction (a). To decrease the
engine idling speed, turn the throt-
tle stop screw in direction (b).

Stora ge
Always store the vehicle in a cool, dry
place. If necessary, protect it against
dust with a porous cover. Be sure the
engine and the exhaust system are
cool before covering the vehicle. If the
vehicle often sits for weeks at a time
between uses, the use of a quality fuel
stabilizer is recommended after each
fill-up.
NOTICE
ECA21170
 Storin g the vehicle in a poorly
ventilate d room or coverin g it
with a tarp, while it is still wet,
will allow water an d humi dity to
seep in an d cause rust.
 To prevent corrosion, avoi d
d amp cellars, sta bles ( because
of the presence of ammonia)
an d areas where stron g chemi-
cals are stored .
Long term stora ge
Before storing the vehicle long term (60
days or more): 1. Make all necessary repairs and perform any outstanding mainte-
nance.
2. Follow all instructions in the Care Section of this chapter.
3. Fill up the fuel tank and add fuel stabilizer according to product in-
structions.
4. Run the engine for 5 minutes to distribute treated fuel through the
fuel system.
5. For vehicles with a fuel cock: Turn the fuel cock lever to the off posi-
tion. 6. For vehicles with a carburetor: To
prevent fuel deposits from build-
ing up, drain the fuel in the carbu-
retor float chamber into a clean
container. Retighten the drain bolt
and pour the fuel back into the fuel
tank.
7. Use a quality engine fogging oil according to product instructions.
If engine fogging oil is not avail-
able, perform the following steps
for each cylinder:a. Remove the spark plug cap and spark plug.
b. Pour a teaspoonful of engine oil into the spark plug bore.
c. Install the spark plug cap onto the spark plug, and then place
the spark plug on the cylinder
head so that the electrodes are
grounded. (This will limit spark-
ing during the next step.)
d. Turn the engine over several times with the starter or kick-
starter. (This will coat the cylin-
der wall with oil.) WARNING!
To prevent d amage or injury
from sparkin g, make sure to
g roun d the spark plu g elec-
tro des while turning the en-
g ine over.
[EWA10952]
e. Remove the spark plug cap
from the spark plug, and then
install the spark plug and the
spark plug cap.
8. Lubricate all control cables, piv- ots, levers and pedals, as well as
the sidestand and centerstand (if
equipped).
9. Check and correct the tire air pressure, and then lift the vehicle
so that all wheels are off the
