Lubrication
Check the oil level in the
transmission gearboxes

dipstick.

better

Lubricate the longitudinal adjustment runners with grease.
Pull the seat back and forth and lubricate on both sides.
Lubricating the cables
Remove the cable´s rubber casing when lubricating.
Grease both ends of the cables and move the controls to end
stop positions when lubricating.
Re-attach the rubber covers on the cables after lubrication.
Cables with sheaths will jam if they are not lubricated
regularly. A jammed cable may cause malfunction, such as
the parking braking being applied. If a cable binds, remove
the cable and hang it vertically. Lubricate it with thin engine oil
until the oil begins to escape from the bottom.
A tip: Fill a small plastic bag with oil and tape it so that it seals
against the casing and allow the cable to hang vertically from
the bag overnight. If you do not succeed in lubricating the
cable, it must be replaced.
Throttle and choke cables, lever
bearings
• Remove the right side cover on the lever housing (3
screws) and open the engine cover.

by the engine.
