Wet brakes may have reduced effectiveness.
After leaving the water, test the brakes. If nec-
essary, apply the brakes several times to let
friction dry them out.NOTICEECB02950After driving your vehicle in water, be sure
to drain the trapped water by removing the
check hoses at the bottom of the air filter
case. Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it
has been operated in salt water or muddy
conditions. Loose terrain/slippery terrain
When driving on slippery terrain, including
wet, muddy, or icy conditions, as well as
loose gravel, be aware that you could begin
skidding or sliding. To avoid loss of control,
slow down and put the vehicle in four-wheel
drive before driving on a slippery surface and
plan your path to avoid making abrupt ma-
neuvers. If you feel the vehicle begin to slide sideways
or fishtail (back-end sliding), steer into the di-
rection of the slide if possible, to regain direc-
tional control. For example, if you feel the
back of the vehicle start to slide to your right,
steer to the right.
Brush or wooded areas
When operating in areas with brush or trees,
watch carefully on both sides and above the
vehicle for obstacles such as branches that
the vehicle might hit, causing an accident.
Watch for brush that might enter the vehicle
as you pass and strike you or the passenger.
Never hold onto the cage/frame. The passen-
ger should always hold onto the passenger
handhold with both hands.
The muffler and other engine parts become
extremely hot during operation and remain
hot after the engine has stopped. To reduce
the risk of fire during operation or after leaving
the vehicle, do not let
brush, grass and other
materials collect under the vehicle, near theUB577AE0.book Page 21 Wednesday, June 8, 2016 9:35 AM

use, resulting in improper fuel/air supply or
engine noise. To preven t this, the valve clear-
ance must be adjusted regularly. This adjust-
ment however, should be left to a
professional Yamaha service technician.EBU32470BrakesReplacement of brake components requires
professional knowledge. Brake service
should be performed by a Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWB02572Operating with improperly serviced or ad-
justed brakes could lead to a loss in brak-
ing ability and an accident. EBU35150Checking the front and rear brake padsCheck each brake pad for damage and mea-
sure the lining thickness. If a brake pad is
damaged or if the lining thickness is less than
1.0 mm (0.04 in), have a Yamaha dealer re-
place the brake pads as a set.
The wheels need to be removed to check the
brake pads. (See pages 8-54, 8-56 for wheel
removal and installation procedures.)

CLEANING AND STORAGE
EBU35920CleaningFrequent, thorough cleaning of your vehicle
will not only enhance its appearance but will
improve its general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the vehicle: a. Block off the end of the exhaust pipe to prevent water entry. A plastic bag
and strong rubber band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plugs and all filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively greasy, apply degreaser with a paint brush. Do
not apply degreaser to the wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off with a garden hose. Use only enough pressure
to do the job. WARNING! Test the
brakes after washing. Apply the
brakes several times at slow speeds to
let friction dry the brakes. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability, in-
creasing the chance of an accident.
[EWB03471]

NOTICE: Excessive water pres-
sure may cause water seepage and
deterioration of wheel bearings,
brakes, transmission seals and electri-
cal devices. Many expensive repair
bills have resulted from improper high-
pressure detergent applications such
as those available in coin-operated car
washers.
[ECB00712]
4. Once the majority of the dirt has been hosed off, wash all surfaces with warm
water and mild, detergent-type soap. An
old toothbrush or bottle brush is handy
for hard-to-get-at places.
5. Rinse the vehicle off immediately with
clean 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 toall 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.EBU32741StorageLong 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 Fuel Med Rx or
another high-quality fuel stabilizer prod-
uct. Follow the instructions on the prod- uct label. Operate the vehicle for at least
5 minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system.
2. Remove the spark plugs and pour one ta- blespoon of fresh engine oil into each cyl-
inder and then re-install the spark plugs.
Remove the spark plug wires and ground
them. Operate the electric starter to turn
the engine over several times and coat
the cylinder walls with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Put the frame on stands or blocks to raise all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
Specified amount:1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)
