Adjusting the throttle cable
free play

The throttle cable free play should
measure 3.0–5.0 mm (0.12–0.20 in) at
the throttle grip. Periodically check the
throttle cable free play and, if neces-
sary, adjust it as follows.

TIP

The engine idling speed must be cor-
rectly adjusted before checking and
adjusting the throttle cable free play.

1. Loosen the locknut.

2. To increase the throttle cable free

play, turn the adjusting nut in di-
rection (a). To decrease the throt-
tle cable free play, turn the
adjusting nut in direction (b).

3. Tighten the locknut.

EAU21401

Valve clearance

The  valve  clearance  changes  with
use, resulting in improper air-fuel mix-
ture  and/or  engine  noise.  To  prevent
this  from  occurring,  the  valve  clear-
ance must be adjusted by a Yamaha
dealer at the intervals specified in the
periodic  maintenance  and  lubrication
chart.
