Replacement parts

If replacement parts are necessary, use only
genuine Yamaha parts or parts of equivalent
design and quality. Any part of inferior quality
may malfunction, and the resulting loss of
control could endanger the operator and pas-
sengers. Yamaha genuine parts and acces-
sories are available from your Yamaha dealer.

Maintenance interval guidelines

The service intervals provided in the Mainte-
nance Chart were developed based upon
"typical" use that includes operating at varied
speeds, with sufficient time for engine warm
up and cool-down, a medium to light load,
and an average cruising speed near the 3000
to 4000 rpm range. As with any engine, how-
ever, if your normal operating conditions are
different, you should consider service more
often than shown, especially how often you
change your engine oil and gear oil. Exam-
ples might include extended wide-open-
throttle use or long periods of trolling or
idling, carrying heavy loads, or frequent start-
ing and stopping or shifting. More frequent
maintenance will often pay off many times
over in increased engine life and greater own-
er satisfaction. Consult your Yamaha dealer
for additional maintenance recommenda-
tions.
