@à SAFETY INFORMATION
AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles differ- 2
ently from other vehicles including motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur
quickly, even during routine maneuvers such as turning and riding on hills or over obsta-
cles, if you fail to take proper precautions.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:
e Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures described.
e Never operate an ATV without proper training or instruction. Take a Training Course.
Beginners should receive training from a certified instructor. Contact an authorized ATV
dealer or call 1-800-447-4700 to find out about the training courses nearest you.
e Always follow the age recommendation:
— A child under 16 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than
90cc.
e Never allow a child under age 16 to operate an ATV without adult supervision, and never
allow continued use of an ATV by a child if he or she does not have the abilities to oper-
ate it safely.
e Never carry passenger on an ATV.
2-1
Always avoid operating an ATV on any paved surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways,
parking lots and streets.
Never operate an ATV on any public street, road or highway, even a dirt or gravel one.
Never operate an ATV without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet that fits proper-
ly. You should also wear eye protection (goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long-
sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this ATV.
Never operate at speeds too fast for your skills or the conditions. Always go at a speed
that is proper for the terrain, visibility and operating conditions, and your experience.
Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts.
Always inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure it is in safe operating condi-
tion. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules de-
scribed in this manual.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboards of the ATV
during operation.
Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be
alert to changing terrain conditions when operating the ATV. Never operate on exces-
sively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and practiced the skills nec-
essary to control the ATV on such terrain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds
of terrain.
2-2
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this manual. Practice turn-
ing at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at excessive
speed. |
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the ATV or for your abilities. Practice on
smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual. Check
the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slip-
pery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never open the throttle suddenly or
make sudden gear changes. Never go over the top of a hill at high speed.
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as de-
scribed in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Shift
your weight backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an
angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill
where possible. |
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in this man-
ual. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the up-
hill side of the ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until you have
mastered the turning technique described in this manual on level ground. Avoid cross-
ing the side of a steep hill if possible.
2-3
e Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill. To
avoid stalling, use proper gear and maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you
stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this manual.
Dismount on the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around
and remount, following the procedure described in this manual.
e Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always
follow proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.
e® Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces,
such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the change of skidding or
sliding out of control.
e® Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that recommended
in this manual. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out
the linings.
e Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate in re-
verse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
e Always use the size and type tires specified in this manual. Always maintain proper tire
pressure as described in this manual.
e Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories.
e Never exceed the stated load capacity for an ATV. Cargo should be properiy distributed
and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying
cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.

speed is too high.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The wheels could stop rotating. This
could cause loss of control, an accident
and injury. It could also cause engine or
drive train damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Make sure the engine has sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a lower gear.
EDF25100
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period in
the life of your machine than the period be-
tween zero and 20 hours.
For this reason, we ask that you carefully
read the following material. Because the
engine is brand new, you must not put an
excessive load on it for the first several
hours of running. During the first 20 hours,
the various parts in the engine wear and
polish themselves to the correct operating
clearances.
During this period, prolonged full throttle
operation or any condition which might re-
sult in excessive engine heating must be
avoided. However, momentary (2 ~ 3 sec-
onds maximum) full throttle operation un-
der load does not harm the engine.
Each full throttle acceleration sequence
should be followed with a substantial rest
period for the engine by cruising at lower
r/min so the engine can rid itself of the
temporary build up of heat.
If any abnormality is noticed during this
period, consult a Yamaha dealer.
1. 0~ 10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above
half throttle. Allow a cooling off period
of five to ten minutes after every hour
of operation. Vary the speed of the
machine from time to time. Do not op-
erate it at one set throttle position.
2. 10 ~ 20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above 3/4
throttle. Rev the machine freely
through the gears but do not use full
throttle at any time.
3. After break-in:
Avoid prolonged full throttle opera-
tion. Vary speeds occasionally.

Accessories and loading
EDF50100
Accessories
Accessories can affect the handling and
control of your ATV. Keep the following in
mind when considering an accessory or
operating an ATV which has accessories.
e Choose only accessories designed for
your ATV. Your Yamaha dealer has a va-
riety of genuine Yamaha accessories.
Other accessories may also be available
on the market. However, it is not possi-
ble for Yamaha to test all non-Yamaha
accessories, nor have any control over
the quality of suitability of them. Choose
a genuine Yamaha accessory, or one
that is equivalent in design and quality.
e Accessories should be rigidly and se-
curely mounted. An accessory which
can shift position or come off while you
are riding could affect your ability to
control the ATV.
6-11
e Do not mount an accessory where it
could interfere with your ability to con-
trol the ATV. Examples include (but are
not limited to) a heavy or bulky object at-
tached to the handlebars which could
make steering difficult, an accessory
that limits your ability to move around
on the seat, or one that limits your view.
Use extra caution when riding an ATV
with accessories. The ATV may handle
differently than it does without accesso-
ries.
EDF50401
Loading
As originally equipped, this ATV is not de-
signed to carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you
choose to add accessories so that you can
carry cargo or tow a trailer, you must use
common sense and good judgement.
Keep the following points in mind:
eo Never exceed the weight limits shown.
An overloaded ATV can be unstable.
MAXIMUM LOADING LIMIT
Vehicle loading limit (total weight of
cargo, rider and accessories):
100 kg (220 Ibs)
e Load cargo on the carriers as close to
the center of the vehicle as possible. Put
cargo at the rear of the front carrier and
at the front of the rear carrier. Center the
load from side to side.
6-12
Tie down cargo securely to the carriers.
Make sure cargo in the trailer cannot
move around. A shifting load can cause
an accident.
Make sure the load does not interfere
with controls or your ability to see
where you are going.
Ride more slowly than you would with-
out a load. The more weight you carry,
the slower you should go. Although
conditions vary, it is good practice not to
exceed 2nd gear whenever you are car-
rying heavier loads or when towing a
trailer.
Allow more braking distance. A heavier
vehicle takes longer to stop.
Avoid making sharp turns unless at very
slow speeds.
Avoid hills and rough terrain. Choose
terrain carefully. Added weight affects
the stability and handling of the ATV.
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD

7-20
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You could be in a collision. You could be
injured.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always mount a caution flag on the ma-
chine to make you more visible. Watch
carefully for other vehicles.
Do not ride in areas posted “no trespass-
ing”. Do not ride on private property with-
out getting permission.
Select a large, flat area off-road to become
familiar with your MOTO-4. Make sure that
this area is free of obstacles and other rid-
ers. You should practice control of the
throttle, brakes, shifting procedures, and
turning techniques in this area before try-
ing more difficult terrain. Always avoid
riding on paved surfaces: the MOTO-4 is
designed for off-road use only, and han-
dling maneuvers are more difficult to per-
form on pavement.
Set the parking brake and follow the in-
structions on page 6-1 to start the engine.
Once it has warmed up you are ready to
begin riding your MOTO-4. As you get on
the MOTO-4, be sure not to accidentally
move the shift pedal. Remember that the
engine and exhaust pipe will be hot when
riding and afterwards; do not allow skin or
clothing to come in contact with these
components.
7-21
With the engine idling, pull the clutch lever
to disengage the clutch and shift into 1st
gear, and then release the parking brake.
Open the throttle gradually, and at the
same time, release the clutch lever slowly.
Once the MOTO-4 has attained adequate
speed, release the throttle lever and at
same time, quickly pull in the clutch lever
and shift into 2nd gear. Open the throttle
part way and gradually release the clutch.
Use this same procedure as you move into
the higher gears. Be sure to coordinate the
use of the throttie and shift pedal properly.
If the throttle is applied too abruptly or if
the throttle is not released during shifting,
or if the shift pedal is not released before
applying the throttle, the front wheels may
lift off the ground resulting in a loss of di-
rectional control. Avoid higher speeds un-
til you are thoroughly familiar with the
operation of your MOTO-4.
À WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Opening the throttle abruptly or releas-
ing the clutch lever to quickly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The machine could wheelie. This would
increase the chance of an accident, in-
cluding overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Open the throttle gradually. Release the
clutch lever gradually.
Do not shift gears without releasing the
throttle. Damage to the engine or drive
train may occur.
7-22
When slowing down or stopping, release
the throttle and apply the brakes smoothly
and evenly. As you slow down, shift to a
lower gear. Be sure that the engine has
sufficiently slowed before engaging a low-
er gear. improper use of the brakes or
shifting can cause the tires to lose traction,
reducing control and increasing the possi-
bility of an accident.
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Engaging a lower gear when the engine
speed is too high.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The wheels could stop rotating. This
could cause loss of control, an accident
and injury. It could also cause engine or
drive train damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Make sure the engine has sufficiently
slowed before shifting to a lower gear.
TURNING YOUR MOTO-4
To achieve maximum traction while riding
off-road, the two rear wheels are mounted
solidly on one axle and turn together at the
same speed. Therefore, unless the wheel
on the inside of the turn is allowed to slip
or lose some traction, the MOTO-4 will re-
sist turning. A special turning technique
must be used to allow the MOTO-4 to
make turns quickly and easily. It is essen-
tial that this skill be learned first at low
speed.
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Turning improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The ATV could go out of control, caus-
ing a collision or overturn.
7-23
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
turning as described in this Owner's
Manual. Practice turning at low speeds
before attempting to turn at faster
speeds. Do not turn at speeds too fast
for your skills or the conditions.
As you approach a curve, slow down and
begin to turn the handlebars in the desired
direction. As you do so, put your weight on
the footboard to the outside of the turn
(opposite your desired direction) and lean
your upper body into the turn. Use the
throttle to maintain an even speed through
the turn. This maneuver will let the wheel
on the inside of the turn slip slightly, allow-
ing the MOTO-4 to make the turn properly.
Lean towards
inside of turn. «=

Ska
— o
This procedure should be practiced at slow
speed many times in a large off-road area
with no obstacles. If an incorrect technique
is used, your MOTO-4 may continue to go
straight. If the MOTO-4 doesn’t turn, come
to a stop and then practice the procedure
again. If the riding surface is slippery or
loose, it may help to position more of your
weight over the front wheels by moving
forward on the seat.
7-24
Once you have learned this technique you
should be able to perform it at higher
speeds or in tighter curves.
Improper riding procedures such as abrupt
throttle changes, excessive braking, incor-
rect body movements, or too much speed
for the sharpness of the turn may cause
the MOTO-4 to tip. If the MOTO-4 begins to
tip over to the outside while negotiating a
turn, lean more to the inside. It may also be
necessary to gradually let off on the throt-
tle and steer to the outside of the turn to
avoid tipping over. Remember: Avoid
higher speeds until you are thoroughly fa-
miliar with the operation of your MOTO-4.
CLIMBING UPHILL
Use proper riding techniques to avoid ve-
hicle overturns on hills. Be sure that you
~ can maneuver your MOTO-4 well on flat
ground before attempting any incline and
then practice riding first on gentie slopes.
Try more difficult climbs only after you
have developed your skill. In all cases
avoid inclines with slippery or loose sur-
faces, or obstacles that might cause you to
lose control.
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn more easily on
extremely steep hills than on level sur-
faces or small hills.
7-25
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the ATV on hills too
steep for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller hills before attempt-
ing large hills.
It is important when climbing a hill to make
sure that your weight is transferred for-
ward on the MOTO-4. This can be accom-
plished by leaning forward and, on steeper
inclines, standing on the footboards and
leaning forward over the handlebars.
An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another

Never climb hills with excessively slip-
pery or loose surfaces.
Shift your weight forward.
Never open the throttle suddenly or
make sudden gear changes.
The ATV could flip over backwards.
Never go over the top of any hill at high
speed.
7-26
If you are climbing a hill and you find that
you have not properly judged your ability
to make it to the top, you should turn the
MOTO-4 around while you still have for-
ward motion (provided you have the room hills with excessively slippery or loose
to do so) and go down the hill surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill
side of the ATV.
A WARNING

possible.
7-27
If your MOTO-4 has stalled or stopped and
you believe you can continue up the hill,
restart carefully to make sure you do not
lift the front wheels which could cause you
to lose control. If you are unable to contin-
ue up the hill, dismount the MOTO-4 on
the uphill side. Physically turn the MOTO-4
around and then descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT use
the rear brake to stop or try to put the
MOTO-4 in gear. The MOTO-4 could easily
tip over backwards. Instead, dismount the
MOTO-4 immediately on the uphill side.
7-28
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards or improper-
ly dismounting while climbing a hill.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could result in the ATV overturning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

speed when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed:
Keep weight uphill.
Apply the brakes.
Lock parking brake, after you are
stopped.
If you begin rolling backwards:
Keep weight uphill.
Never apply the rear brake while roll-
ing backwards.
Apply the front brake.
When fully stopped, apply rear brake
as well, and then lock parking brake.
Dismount on uphill side or to a side if
pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV
around and remount, following the pro-
cedure described in the Owner's Manu-
7-29
RIDING DOWNHILL
When riding your MOTO-4 downhill, shift
your weight as far to the rear and uphill
side of the MOTO-4 as possible. Move
back on the seat and sit with your arms
straight. Choose a low gear which will al-
low the engine compression to do most of
the braking for you. Improper braking may
cause a loss of traction. Use caution while
descending a hill with loose or slippery
surfaces. Braking ability and traction may
be adversely affected by these surfaces.
Improper braking may also cause a loss of
traction.
Whenever possible, ride your MOTO-4
straight downhill. Avoid sharp angles
which could allow the MOTO-4 to tip or roll
over. Carefully choose your path and ride
no faster than you will be able to react to
obstacles which may appear.
7-30
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
going down hills as described in this
Owner's Manual. Note: a special tech-
nique is required when braking as you
go down a hill.
Always check the terrain carefully be-
fore you start down any hill.
Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a hill at high speed.
Avoid going down a hill at an angle that
would cause the vehicle to lean sharply
to one side. Go straight down the hill
where possible.
7-31
CROSSING A SLOPE
Traversing a sloping surface on your
MOTO-4 requires you to properly position
your weight to maintain proper balance.
Be sure that you have learned the basic
riding skills on flat ground before attempt-
ing to cross a sloping surface. Avoid
slopes with slippery surfaces or rough ter-
rain that may upset your balance.
As you travel across a slope, lean your
body in the uphill direction. It may be nec-
essary to correct the steering when riding
on loose surfaces by pointing the front
wheels slightly uphill. When riding on
slopes be sure not to make sharp turns ei-
ther up or down hill.
If your MOTO-4 does begin to tip over,
gradually steer in the downhill direction if
there are no obstacles in your path. As you
regain proper balance, gradually steer
again in the direction you wish to travel.
7-32
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly crossing hills or turning on

CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER
The MOTO-4 can be used to cross slow
moving, shallow water of up to a maxi-
mum of 35 cm (14 inches) in depth. Before
entering the water, choose your path care-
fully. Enter where there is no sharp drop
off, and avoid rocks or other obstacles
which may be slippery or upset the
MOTO-4. Drive slowly and carefuily.

RIDING OVER ROUGH TERRAIN
Riding over rough terrain should be done
with caution. Look out for obstacles which
could cause damage to the MOTO-4 or
could lead to an upset or accident. Be sure
to keep your feet firmly mounted on the
footboards at all times. Avoid jumping the
MOTO-4 as loss of control and damage to
the MOTO-4 may result.

Á WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly operating over obstacles.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or a colli-
sion. Could cause the ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Before operating in a new area, check
for obstacles.
Never attempt to ride over large obsta-
cles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
When you go over obstacles, always fol-
low proper procedures as described in
the Owner's Manual.
7-37
SLIDING AND SKIDDING
Care should be used when riding on loose
or slippery surfaces since the MOTO-4
may slide. If unexpected and uncorrected,
sliding could lead to an accident.
To reduce the tendency for the front
wheels to slide in loose or slippery condi-
tions, positioning your weight over the
front wheels will sometimes help.
7-38
If the rear wheels of your MOTO-4 start to
slide sideways, control can usually be re-
gained (if there is room to do so) by steer-
ing in the direction of the slide. Applying
the brakes or accelerating is not recom-
mended until you have corrected the slide.
With practice, over a period of time, skill at
controlled sliding can be developed. The
terrain should be chosen carefully before
attempting such maneuvers, since both
stability and control are reduced. Bear in
mind that sliding maneuvers should al-
ways be avoided on extremely slippery
surfaces such as ice, since all control may
be lost.
7-39
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Skidding or sliding improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You may lose control of this ATV. You
may also regain traction unexpectedly,
which may cause the ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Learn to safely control skidding or slid-
ing by practicing at low speeds and on
level, smooth terrain.
On extremely slippery surfaces, such as
ice, go slowly and be very cautious in
order to reduce the chance of skidding
or sliding out of control.
WHAT TO DO IF...
This section is designed to be a reference
guide only. Be sure to read each section on
riding techniques completely.
WHAT TO DO...
e If your MOTO-4 doesn’t turn when you
want it to:
Bring the MOTO-4 to a stop and practice
the turning maneuvers again. Be sure
you are putting your weight on the foot-
board to the outside of the turn. Position
your weight over the front wheels for
better control (see pages 7-23 » 7-24).
e |f your MOTO-4 begins to tip while turn-
ing:
Lean more into the turn to regain bal-
ance. If necessary, gradually let off the
throttie and/or steer to the outside of the
turn (see pages 7-23 - 7-24).

e if your MOTO-4 starts to slide sideways:
Steer in the direction of the slide if you
have the room. Applying the brakes or
accelerating is not recommended until
you have corrected the slide (see pages
7-38 ~ 7-39).
If your MOTO-4 can't make it up a hill
you are trying to climb:
Turn the MOTO-4 around if you still
have forward speed. If not, stop, dis-
mount on the uphill side of the MOTO-4
and physically turn the MOTO-4 around.
If the MOTO-4 starts to slip backwards
DO NOT USE THE REAR BRAKE - the
MOTO-4 may tip over on top of you. Dis-
mount the MOTO-4 on the uphill side
(see pages 7-25 - 7-29).
e If your MOTO-4 is traversing a sloping
surface: |
Be sure to ride with your weight posi-
tioned towards the uphill side of the
MOTO-4 to maintain proper balance. If
the MOTO-4 starts to tip, steer down the
hill (if there are no obstacles in your
way) to regain balance. If you discover
that the MOTO-4 is going to tip over, dis-
mount on the uphill side (see pages 7-32

Spark plug inspection
The spark plug is an important engine
component and is easy to inspect. The
condition of the spark plug can indicate the
condition of the engine.
For example, a very white center electrode
porcelain color could indicate an intake air
leak or carburetion problem for that cylin-
der. Do not attempt to diagnose such prob-
lems yourself.
Instead, take the machine to a Yamaha
dealer. You should periodically remove
and inspect the spark plug because heat
and deposits will cause the spark plug to
slowly break down and erode. If electrode
erosion becomes excessive, you should
replace the spark plug with one of the
proper type.
Standard spark plug:
D8EA (NGK) or
X24ES-U (DENSO)
8-9
Before installing the spark plug, measure
the electrode gap with a feeler gauge and
adjust to specification.
Spark plug gap:
0.6 ~ 0.7 mm (0.024 ~ 0.028 in)

NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned ev-

lubricated more often if the machine is op-
erated in extremely dusty areas. Each time
filter element maintenance is performed,
check the air inlet to the filter case for ob-
structions. Check the air cleaner rubber
joint to the carburetor and manifold fit-
tings for an airtight seal. Tighten all fittings
securely to avoid the possibility of unfil-
tered air entering the engine.
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfil-
tered air to enter, causing rapid engine
wear and possible engine damage. Addi-
tionally, operation without the filter ele-
ment will affect carburetor jetting with
subsequent poor performance and possi-
ble engine overheating.

NOTE:
A diagnostic tachometer must be used for
this procedure.
1. Start the engine and warm it up for a
few minutes at approximately 1,000 to
2,000 r/min. Occasionally rev the en-
gine to 4,000 to 5,000 r/min. The en-
gine is warm when it quickly responds
to the throttle.
Connect the tachometer and set the
idle to the specified idling speed by
adjusting the throttle stop screw. Turn
the screw in to increase engine speed,
and out to decrease engine speed.

Inspecting the brake fluid level
Insufficient brake fluid may let air enter the
brake system, possibly causing the brakes
to become ineffective.
Before riding, check that the brake fluid is
above the lower level and replenish when
necessary.
Observe these precautions:
1. When checking the fluid level, make
sure the top of the master cylinder is
level by turning the handlebars.
2. Use only the designated quality brake
fluid. Otherwise, the rubber seals may
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
Recommended brake fluid: DOT 4
NOTE:
If DOT 4 is not available, DOT 3 can be
used.
3. Refill with the same type of brake flu-
id. Mixing fluids may result in a harm-
ful chemical reaction and lead to poor
brake performance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter
the master cylinder when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boil-
ing point of the fluid and may result in
vapor lock.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha machines receive a rig-
id inspection before shipment from the
factory, trouble may occur during opera-
tion. Any problem in the fuel, compres-
sion, or ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The trouble-
shooting chart describes a quick, easy pro-
cedure for making checks. If your machine
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha deal-
ership have the tools, experience, and
know-how to properly service your ma-
chine. Use only genuine Yamaha parts on
your machine. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often infe-
rior. Consequently, they have a shorter
service life and can lead to expensive re-
pair bills.
A WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Checking the fuel system while smok-
ing or near an open flame.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing se-

CLEANING AND STORAGE
A. CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your ma-
chine will not only enhance its appearance
but will improve its general performance
and extend the useful life of many compo-
nents.
1. Before cleaning the machine:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe
to prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all filler
caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively
greasy, apply degreaser with a paint
brush. Do not apply degreaser to the
chain, sprockets or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a
garden hose. Use only enough pres-
sure to do the job.
9-1
Excessive water pressure may cause wa-
ter seepage and deterioration of wheel
bearings, brakes, transmission seals and
electrical devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high
pressure detergent applications such as
those available in coin-operated car wash-
ers.
4. Once the majority of the dirt has been
hosed off, wash all surfaces with
warm water and mild, detergent-type
