PERIODIC MAINTENANCE AND MINOR REPAIR
EAU01008Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles
receive a rigid inspection before
shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compres-
sion, or ignition systems can cause
poor starting and loss of power.
The troubleshooting chart
describes a quick, easy procedure
for making checks.
If your motorcycle requires any
repair, bring it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a
Yamaha dealership have the tools,
experience, and know-how to
properly service your motorcycle.
Use only genuine Yamaha parts on
your motorcycle. Imitation parts
may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior.
Consequently, they have a shorter
service life and can lead to expen-
sive repair bills.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

7. Check and, if necessary, cor-
rect the tire air pressure, then
raise the motorcycle so that
both of its wheels are off the
ground. Alternatively, turn the
wheels a little every month in
order to prevent the tires from
becoming degraded in one
spot.
8. Cover up the muffler outlets
with plastic bags to prevent
moisture from entering.
9. Remove the battery and fully
charge it. Store it in a cool, dry
place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the bat-
tery in an excessively cold or
warm place (less than 0°C or
more than 30°C). For more
information, see “Battery stor-
age” in the chapter “PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE AND MINOR
REPAIRS”.NOTE:
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the motorcycle.
