lock YAMAHA BLASTER 200 2003 User Guide

8Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful chemi-
cal reaction and lead to poor brake perfor-
mance.
8Be careful that water does not enter the
brake fluid reservoir when refilling. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of the
fluid and may result in vapor lock.
8Brake fluid may deteriorate painted surfaces
or plastic parts. Always clean up spilled fluid
immediately.
8Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.

CLEANING AND STORAGE
A. CLEANING
Frequent, thorough cleaning of your machine
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend the
useful life of many components.
1. Before cleaning the machine:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to pre-
vent 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 gar-
den hose. Use only enough pressure to do
the job.

4. Lubricate all control cables.
5. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the
ground.
6. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe out-
let to prevent moisture from entering.
7. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmosphere,
coat all exposed metal surfaces with a light
film of oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber
parts or the seat cover.
NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before storing the
machine.
