Periodic maintenance and adjustment

Supporting the motorcycle

1. Motorcycle jack
Since this model is not equipped with a

centerstand, use a motorcycle jack
when removing the front or rear wheel
or when performing other maintenance
that requires the motorcycle to stand
upright.
To elevate the vehicle
1. Remove cowling A. (See page
7-10.)
2. If necessary, insert a piece of
wood between the motorcycle
jack and the engine crankcase.
Then lift the vehicle just enough to
raise the wheels from the ground.
NOTICE: Do not lift the motorcy-
cle from under the skid plate or
EAUM4210
by the frame sub-members.

ing any maintenance.

Troubleshooting

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