The throttle cable free play should measure 1.0–
3.0 mm (0.04–0.12 in) at the throttle lever. Period-
ically check the throttle cable free play and, if nec-
essary, have a Yamaha dealer adjust it.

Timing chain
The timing chain stretches with use, resulting in im-
proper valve timing and engine noise. To prevent
this from occurring, the timing chain tensioner
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic maintenance and lu-
brication chart.
EBU24060
Valve clearance
The valve clearance changes with use, resulting in
improper air-fuel mixture and/or engine noise. To
prevent this from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic maintenance and lu-
brication chart.
EBU24090
Checking the front and rear brake
shoes
The front and rear brake shoes must be checked
for wear at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. Each brake is
provided with a wear indicator, which allows you to
check the brake shoe wear without having to dis-
assemble the brake. To check the brake shoe
wear, check the position of the wear indicator while
applying the brake. If a brake shoe has worn to the
point that the wear indicator reaches the wear limit
line or mark, have a Yamaha dealer replace the
brake shoes as a set.
