Cable inspection and lubrication
w
Inspect cables frequently and replace if dam-
aged. Corrosion can result when the outer
covering of control cables becomes dam-
aged. Cables can also become frayed or
kinked. Operation of controls could be
restricted, which could cause an accident or
injury.
Lubricate the inner cables and the cable ends. If
the cables do not operate smoothly, ask a
Yamaha dealer to replace them.
Recommended lubricant:
