sary, adjusted at the intervals specified in the pe-
riodic maintenance and lubrication chart. The
carburetor is an important part of the engine and
requires very sophisticated adjustment. There-
fore, most carburetor adjustments should be left to a Yamaha dealer, who has the necessary pro-
fessional knowledge and experience. The adjust-
ment described in the following section, however,
may be performed by the owner as part of routine
maintenance.
NOTICEECB00481The carburetor has been set and extensively
tested at the Yamaha factory. Changing these
settings without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor performance of or
damage to the engine. EBU24001Adjusting the engine idling speedThe engine idling speed must be checked and, if
necessary, adjusted as follows at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance and lubrica-
tion chart.TIPA diagnostic tachometer is needed to make this
adjustment. 1. Start the engine and warm it up.
Tightening torque:

TIPThe engine is warm when it quickly responds to
the throttle. 2. Attach the tachometer to the spark plug lead.
3. Check the engine idling speed and, if neces-sary, adjust it to specification by turning the
throttle stop screw at the carburetor. To in-
crease the engine idling speed, turn the throt-
tle stop screw in direction (a), and to decrease
it, turn the screw in direction (b).
TIPIf the specified idling speed cannot be obtained as
described above, have a Yamaha dealer make the
adjustment. EBU38470Adjusting the throttle lever free play

TIPThe engine idling speed must be checked and ad-
justed before adjusting the throttle lever free play. 1. Slide the rubber cover away from the locknut.
2. Loosen the locknut.
3. To increase the throttle lever free play, turn
the throttle lever free play adjusting nut in di-
rection (a). To decrease the throttle lever free
play, turn the adjusting nut in direction (b).
4. Tighten the locknut.
5. Slide the rubber cover to its original position.EBU24061Valve clearanceThe valve clearance changes with use, resulting in
improper air-fuel mixture and/or engine noise. To
prevent this from occurring, the valve clearance
must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic maintenance and lu-
brication chart.
EBU29602BrakesReplacement of brake components requires pro-
fessional knowledge. Brake service should be
performed by a Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWB02572Operating with improperly serviced or adjust-
ed brakes could lead to a loss in braking ability
and an accident. EBU34511Checking the front and rear brake
shoesThe front and rear brake shoes must be checked
for wear at the intervals specified in the periodic
maintenance and lubrication chart. Without disas-
sembling the brake, this can be performed by
checking the position of the brake lever free play
adjusting bolts or nut.
Front brakes
To check front brake shoe wear, check the posi-
tion of the adjusting bolts. If a bolt extends more
than 12 mm (0.47 in) from its locknut, the brake
shoes need to be replaced.

EBU24905
Checking and lubricating the cablesThe operation and the condition of all control ca-
bles should be checked before each ride, and the
cables and cable ends should be lubricated if nec- essary. If a cable is damaged or does not move
smoothly, have a Yamaha dealer check or replace
it.
WARNING
EWB02582
Inspect cables frequently and replace if
damaged. Corrosion can result when the ca-
ble sheaths become damaged, and cables
can also become frayed or kinked, which
could restrict the operation of controls and
lead to an accident or injury.
 Always make sure all control cables work
smoothly before you begin riding in cold
weather. If the control cables are frozen or
do not work smoothly, you could be unable
to control the ATV, which could lead to an
accident or collision.
