Before starting the engine, check the throttle to be
sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns
to the idle position as soon as the lever is released.
WARNING
EWB00250
Malfunction of the throttle could make it diffi-
cult to speed up or slow down when you need
to. This could cause an accident. Check the op-
eration of the throttle lever before you start the
engine. If the throttle does not work smoothly,
check for the cause. Correct the problem be-
fore riding the ATV or consult a Yamaha dealer.
EBU18300
Throttle OverRide System
If during operation, the carburetor or the throttle ca-
ble should malfunction and will not close fully, take
your thumb off the throttle lever.
The throttle override system immediately cuts off
the ignition.
WARNING
EWB00260
Riding with a malfunction increases the
chance for an accident and injury. Make sure
that the cause of the malfunction is corrected
before restarting the engine or have the ATV in-
spected by a Yamaha dealer.
EBU18321
Speed limiter
Your ATV was delivered with an adjustable speed
limiter. The speed limiter keeps the throttle from
fully opening, even when the throttle lever is
pushed to the maximum.
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. To increase the maximum engine power avail-
able and the maximum speed of the ATV, turn
the adjusting screw in direction (a). To de-
crease the maximum engine power available

and the maximum speed of the ATV, turn the
adjusting screw in direction (b).
3. Tighten the locknut.
WARNING
EWB00240
Improper adjustment of the speed limiter and
throttle could cause throttle cable damage or
improper throttle operation. You could lose
control, have an accident or be injured. Do not
turn the adjusting screw out more than 12 mm
(0.47 in) or the throttle cable could be dam-aged. Always make sure the throttle lever free
play is adjusted to 4.0–6.0 mm (0.16–0.24 in).
(See page 8-30.)
EBU18372
Clutch lever
The clutch lever is located on the left handlebar. To
disengage the clutch, pull the clutch lever toward
the handlebar grip. To engage the clutch, release
the clutch lever. The clutch lever should be pulled
rapidly and released slowly for smooth clutch oper-
ation.

Brake lever
The brake lever is located at the right handlebar
grip. To apply the front brake, pull the brake lever
toward the handlebar grip.

ATV. To apply the rear brake, push down on the
brake pedal.
EBU18500
Parking brake
Use the parking brake before starting the engine or
parking the ATV, especially on a slope. Squeeze
the clutch lever while pushing the button, then
push in the lock plate to apply the parking brake.
Squeeze the clutch lever to release the parking
brake.NOTE:
When the parking brake is used, engine speed is
limited to 2300 r/min. Be sure the parking brake is
released before moving the throttle lever. Other-

wise, the engine will misfire, preventing normal op-
eration.
WARNING
EWB00220
Always set the parking brake before starting
the engine. The ATV could start moving un-
expectedly if the parking brake is not ap-
plied. This could cause loss of control or a
collision.
Always be sure you have released the park-
ing brake before you begin to ride. The brake
could overheat if you ride the ATV without re-
leasing the parking brake. You could lose
braking performance which could cause an
accident. You could also wear out the brakes

Shift pedal
This ATV is equipped with a constant-mesh 6-
speed transmission. The shift pedal is located on
the left side of the engine and is used in combina-
tion with the clutch when shifting.

Kickstarter
Fold out the kickstarter lever, move it down lightly
with your foot until the gears engage, and thenpush it down smoothly but forcefully. This model is
equipped with a primary kickstarter, allowing the
engine to be started in any gear if the clutch is dis-
engaged. However, shifting the transmission into
the neutral position before starting is recommend-
ed.

WARNING
EWB00400
Always adjust the shock absorber assemblies
on the left and right side to the same setting.
Uneven adjustment can cause poor handling
and loss of stability, which could lead to an ac-
cident.
EBU19100
Adjusting the rear shock absorber
assembly
The spring preload, rebound damping and com-
pression damping forces of the rear shock absorb-
er assembly can be adjusted to suit the rider’s
weight and the riding conditions.
WARNING
EWB00430
This shock absorber assembly contains highly
pressurized nitrogen gas. Read and under-
stand the following information before han-
dling the shock absorber assembly.
Do not tamper with or attempt to open the
cylinder assembly.
Do not subject the shock absorber assembly
to an open flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to explode due to ex-cessive gas pressure.
Do not deform or damage the cylinder in any
way. Cylinder damage will result in poor
damping performance.
Do not dispose of a damaged or worn out
shock absorber assembly yourself. Take the
shock absorber assembly to a Yamaha deal-
er for any service.
Spring preload
1. Loosen the locknut.
2. Turn the adjusting nut in direction (a) to in-
crease the spring preload and thereby harden
the suspension, and in direction (b) to de-
crease the spring preload and thereby soften
the suspension.

NOTE:
A special wrench can be obtained at a Yamaha
dealer to make this adjustment.
The spring preload setting is determined by
measuring distance A, shown in the illustration.
The shorter distance A is, the higher the spring
preload; the longer distance A is, the lower the
spring preload. With each complete turn of the
adjusting nut, distance A is changed by 1.5 mm
(0.06 in).3. Tighten the locknut to the specified torque.

Always tighten the locknut against the adjust-
ing nut, and then tighten it to the specified
torque.
Rebound damping force
Turn the adjusting dial in direction (a) to increase
the rebound damping force and thereby harden
the damping, and in direction (b) to decrease the
rebound damping force and thereby soften the
damping.
Compression damping force
Turn the adjusting knob in direction (a) to increase
the compression damping force and thereby hard-
en the damping, and in direction (b) to decrease
the compression damping force and thereby soft-
en the damping.
