EAU21200

Checking the air vent hose 

Periodically check the air vent hose for
dust or water that may be deposited in
the hose. If dust or water is found, re-
move the air vent hose, thoroughly
clean it, and then install it.

CAUTION:

ECA10540

Do not operate the motorcycle with
the air vent hose removed.

EAU21210

Air intake duct 

Check that the screen of the intake duct
is not blocked. Clean the screen if nec-
essary.

EAU21270

Adjusting the carburetors 

The carburetors are important parts of
the engine and emission control sys-
tem, which require very sophisticated
adjustment. Therefore, all carburetor
adjustments should be left to a Yamaha
dealer, who has the necessary profes-
sional knowledge and experience.
