AIR FILTER
The air filter element should be checked
every 12 months or every 100 hours of
operation.
To check the air filter:
1) Open the hood (see page 2-17).
2) Lift the locking tab
on the air filter
case. Turn the air filter case cap
counterclockwise and then remove
the case cap.
3) Remove the air filter element
.
4) Replace the filter every 2 years or
every 200 hours, whichever comes
first, or if it becomes contaminated
with dirt or oil.
5) Reinstall the air filter, then lift the
locking tab and install the case cap,
turning it clockwise until it stops.
STEERING CABLE INSPECTION
Be sure to check:
1) Check for smooth operation of the
wheel and steering nozzles.
2) Check for proper steering adjust-
ment. The nozzles should both point
straight back when the steering
wheel is centered.
If steering is stiff or misadjusted, ask
your Yamaha dealer to service it.
