Speed limiter
The speed limiter keeps the throttle from fully
opening, even when the throttle lever is
pushed to the maximum. Screwing in the ad-
juster limits the maximum engine power avail-
able and decreases the maximum speed of the
ATV.
WARNING

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 speed adjuster out more than 12 mm
or the throttle cable could be damaged. Al-
ways make sure the throttle lever free play is
adjusted to 3 ~ 5 mm. See page 8-87.

Parking on a slope
WARNING
Avoid parking on hills or other inclines. Park-
ing on a hill or other incline could cause the
ATV to roll out of control, increasing the
chance of an accident. If you must park on an
incline, place the machine transversely across
the incline, apply the parking brake, and block
the front and rear wheels with rocks or other
objects. Do not park the ATV at all on hills that
are so steep you could not walk up them easi-ly.
1. Bring the machine to a stop by applying
the brakes.
2. Stop the engine.
3. With the rear brake applied, shift the drive
select lever to the park position.

Speed limiter
For riders less experienced with this model,
this model is equipped with a speed limiter in
the throttle lever housing. The speed limiter
keeps the throttle from fully opening, even
when the throttle lever is pushed to the maxi-
mum. Screwing in the adjuster limits the max-
imum engine power available and decreases
the maximum speed of the ATV. Turning the
screw in decreases top speed and turning it out
increases top speed.
Loading and accessories
Use extra caution when riding the machine
with additional loads, such as accessories or
cargo. The machine’s handling may be ad-
versely affected. Reduce your speed when
adding additional loads.

3. Refill with the same type of brake fluid.
Mixing fluids may result in a harmful
chemical reaction and lead to poor brake
performance.
4. Be careful that water does not enter the
master cylinder reservoir when refilling.
Water will significantly lower the boiling
point of the fluid and may result in vapor
lock.
5. Brake fluid may deteriorate painted sur-
faces or plastic parts. Always clean up
spilled fluid immediately.
6. Have a Yamaha dealer check the cause if
the brake fluid level goes down.
