Check that the fuel filter is clean and free of
water. If any water is found in the fuel, or if a
significant amount of debris is found, the fuel
tank should be checked and cleaned by a
Yamaha dealer.

Controls

 Turn the steering wheel full-right and full-
left. Make sure operation is smooth and un-
restricted throughout the whole range with
no binding or excessive free play.
 Operate the throttle levers several times to
make sure there is no hesitation in their
travel. Operation should be smooth over
the complete range of motion, and each le-
ver should return completely to the idle po-
sition.
 Look for loose or damaged connections of
the throttle and shift cables.
