LUBRICATION
Lubricate the points shown in the illustrations in accordance
with the maintenance schedule or after the vehicle has been
washed or operated in wet, dusty, or rainy conditions. Before
lubricating each point, make sure it is clean and free of any
grease, rust, dirt, or grime.
After the vehicle is thoroughly dry, lubricate the controls as
described in this manual and coat any unprotected areas
with a water-displacement chemical.
Start the engine and let it run until the radiator is slightly
warm and then turn it off.
NOTE : Before riding the vehicle, it is recommended to go
over the entire vehicle and check for any damage or loose
fasteners.
Throttle lubrication
NOTE : If the throttle does not operate properly the cable
may have been installed incorrectly. Remove the throttle
cable and make sure it is installed properly.
