Cable inspection and
lubrication

w
Damage to the outer housing of
cables may lead to internal rusting
and interfere with the cable move-
ment. Replace damaged cables as
soon as possible to prevent unsafe
conditions.
Lubricate the cables and cable
ends. If a cable does not operate
smoothly, ask a Yamaha dealer to
replace it.
EAU00773
Throttle cable and grip
lubrication
The throttle twist grip assembly
should be greased at the time that
the cable is lubricated, since the
grip must be removed to get at the
end of the throttle cable. After
removing the screws, hold the end
of the cable up in the air and put in
several drops of lubricant. With the
throttle grip disassembled, coat the
metal surface of the grip assembly
with a suitable all-purpose grease.
Recommended lubricant:
Engine oil
