tank should be checked and cleaned by a
Yamaha dealer.

left. Make sure operation is smooth and un-
restricted throughout the whole range with
no binding or excessive free play.
Operate the throttle levers several times to
make sure there is no hesitation in their
travel. Operation should be smooth over
the complete range of motion, and each le-
ver should return completely to the idle po-
sition.
