5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately withclean water and dry all surfaces with a
clean chamois towel or soft, absorbent
cloth.
6. Clean the seats with a vinyl upholstery
cleaner to keep the covers pliable and
glossy.
7. Automotive-type wax may be applied to
all painted and chrome-plated surfaces.
Avoid combination cleaner-waxes. Many
contain abrasives which may scratch the
paint or protective finish. When finished,
start the engine and let it idle for several
minutes.EBU32740StorageLong term storage (60 days or more) of your
vehicle will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. Make
any necessary repairs before storing the vehi-
cle. After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare
for storage as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or equivalent
product. Operate the vehicle for at least 5
minutes to distribute treated fuel through
the fuel system.
2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one tablespoon of SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50
motor oil in the spark plug hole and install
the spark plug. Ground the spark plug
wire and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the ground.
Specified amount:1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)

5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipeoutlet to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo- sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to
any rubber parts or the seat covers.
7. Remove the battery and charge it. Store it in a dry place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in an ex-
cessively warm or cold place [less than 0
°C (30 °F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)].
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner elimi-
nates the need to drain the fuel system. Con-
sult a Yamaha dealer if the fuel system needs
to be drained.UB857AE0.book Page 3 Monday, August 24, 2015 8:59 AM

The figures quoted are emission levels and
are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst
there is a correlation between the emission
and exposure levels, this cannot be used reli-
ably to determine whether or not further pre-
cautions are required. Factors that influence
the actual level of exposure of work-force in-
clude the characteristics of the work room,
the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the num-
ber of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an
operator is exposed to the noise. Also the
permissible exposure level can vary from
country. This information, however, will en-
able the user of the machine to make a better
evaluation of the hazard and risk.
