7Pre-operation checks
Always inspect your ATV before use to make sure
that it is safe operating condition. Perform the pre-
operation checks listed on page 5-1. Follow the
maintenance schedules and procedures as de-
scribed in the “Periodic Maintenance and Adjust-
ment“ section of this manual.
WARNING! Failure
to inspect the ATV before riding it or failure to
maintain it properly increases the possibility of
an accident and equipment damage.

Speed limiter
For beginning riders, riders less experienced with
this model, or whenever limited speed is desir-
able, the throttle lever housing is equipped with a vehicle speed limiter. The speed limiter keeps the
throttle from fully opening, even when the throttle
lever is pushed to the maximum. Turning in the
adjusting screw limits the maximum engine power
available and decreases the maximum speed of
the ATV. Turning in the adjusting screw decreases
top speed, and turning it out increases top speed.
(See page 4-3.)
This model also has an engine speed limiter plate
to limit the amount of engine power available.
Yamaha recommends that all beginning riders start off with the engine speed limiter plate in-
stalled and the vehicle speed limiter adjusting
screw turned in to limit the amount of speed avail-
able while they learn. The vehicle speed limiter
may be gradually adjusted to increase maximum
speed as the beginner becomes more familiar with
operating the ATV. Parents should decide when to
adjust the ATV for more power as their young-
ster’s riding skills improve. Once the ATV rider can
operate with skill at the top speed permitted by
adjusting the vehicle speed limiter alone, the en-
gine speed limiter plate can be removed. Since re-
moval of this plate will result in a significant
increase in power, turn the vehicle speed limiter
adjusting screw back in again and adjust it out inUBD360E0.book Page 5 Wednesd ay, February 25, 2015 2:41 PM
