MAINTENANCE
Exhaust System
At approximately 50 hours it is a good idea to check the exhaust system for wear
or damage. To inspect,allow engine and exhaust system to coolcompletely. Open
the hood and inspect the muffler and pipes for cracks or damage. Check for weak
or missing retaining springs or damper/support grommets.
Throttle Cable Lubrication
With the engine off, lubricate the
throttle cable occasionally. Turn the
handlebars to the left and lubricate lib-
erally as shown, using LPS1, WD-40,
etc.
Choke and Cable Lubrication
Lubricate the choke slide and cables
occasionally as shown. Operate the
choke intermittently before turning the
machine off. This draws moisture out
of the choke plunger area and re-
duces the possibility of the choke be-
coming frozen.
Throttle Cable Pivot Slug
Lubricate the throttle cable pivot slug
every 50 hours or twice a year using
and aerosol lubricant.
CAUTION
Exhaust system temperatures can exceed 900° F (500° C). Serious burns
may occur if this inspection is performed withoutallowing adequatetime forthe
exhaust system to cool. Never perform this procedure with the engine
running.
