PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
1
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
2
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.
3
The following troubleshooting chart
represents a quick and easy procedure
for checking these vital systems your-
4
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
5
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
6
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
7
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-
8
or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.

WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, including pilot lights from water
EAU25851 heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
gasoline vapors can ignite or ex-
plode, causing severe injury or
property damage.
