Clutch fluid
Depress and release the clutch pedal five
times. Check to see if any fluid is leaking out
of the hoses, reservoir, or master cylinder.
Check the clutch fluid level and correct if nec-
essary. (See page 9-47.)TIPIf any leakage is found, or if the clutch pedal
offers little resistance, have a Yamaha dealer
service the vehicle. EBU36972FuelMake sure there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
Refuel if necessary.
WARNING
EWB02522Gasoline and gasoline vapors are ex-
tremely flammable. To avoid fires and ex-
plosions and to reduce the risk of injury
when refueling, follow these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engine andbe sure that no one is sitting in the vehi-
cle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in
the vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as the pilot
lights of water heaters and clothes dry-
ers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel expands when it heats up, heat from the
engine or the sun can cause fuel to spill
out of the fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed se- curely.
WARNING
EWB02532Gasoline is poisonous and can cause inju-
ry or death. Handle gasoline with care.
Never siphon gasoline by mouth. If you
should swallow some gasoline or inhale a
lot of gasoline vapor, or get some gasoline
in your eyes, see your doctor immediately.
