CABLE INSPECTION AND LUBRICATION
1. Damage to the outer housing of the vari­
ous cables, may cause corrosion and
often free movement will be obstructed.
An unsafe condition may result so replace
as soon as possible.
2. If the inner cables do not operate smooth­
ly, lubricate or ask a Yamaha dealer or
other qualified mechanic to replace them.
Recommended lubricant:
Yamaha Chain and Cable Lube or
SAE 10W30 motor oil
THROTTLE CABLE AND GRIP
LUBRICATION
The throttle twist grip assembly should be
greased at the time that the cable is lubricated,
since the grip must be removed to get at the
end of the throttle cable. Two screws clamp
the throttle housing to the handlebar. Once
these two are removed, the end of the cable
can be held high to pour in several drops of
lubricant. With the throttle grip disassembled,
coat the metal surface of the grip assembly with
a suitable all-purpose grease to cut down fric­
tion. (See lubrication chart.)
