To check the drive belt slack
1. Place the vehicle on the side-
stand.
2. Note the current position of the
drive belt using the marks near the
drive belt check hole.
3. Note the position of the drive belt
with a force of 45 N (4.5 kgf, 10 lbf)
applied to the belt with a belt ten-
sion gauge as shown.
A belt tension gauge is available at a
Yamaha dealer.
4. Calculate the drive belt slack by
subtracting the measurement not-
ed in step 2 from the measure-
ment noted in step 3.
5. If the drive belt slack is incorrect,
have a Yamaha dealer adjust it.

Checking and lubricating the
cables
The operation of all control cables and
the condition of the cables should be
checked before each ride, and the ca-
bles and cable ends should be lubri-
cated if necessary. If a cable is
damaged or does not move smoothly,
have a Yamaha dealer check or re-
place it. WARNING! Damage to the
outer housing of cables may result
in internal rusting and cause inter-
ference with cable movement. Re-
place damaged cables as soon as
possible to prevent unsafe condi-
tions.
