Valve clearance adjustment
The correct valve clearance changes with use, re-
sulting in improper fuel/air supply or engine noise.
To prevent this, the valve clearance must be ad-
justed regularly. This adjustment however, should
be left to a professional Yamaha service techni-
cian.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha machines receive a rigid in-
spection before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compression, or ignition
systems can cause poor starting and loss of pow-
er. The troubleshooting chart describes a quick,
easy procedure for making checks. If your ma-
chine requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to prop-
erly service your machine. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your machine. Imitation parts
may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often in-
ferior. Consequently, they have a shorter service
life and can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
Do not smoke when checking the fuel system.
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing severe in-
jury or property damage. Make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the area, including
pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces.

CAUTION:Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-
friction modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often
labeled “ENERGY CONSERVING II”) contain anti-
friction additives which will cause clutch and/or
starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced com-
ponent life and poor engine performance.

ATTENTION:
Veiller à ce que l’huile de moteur utilisée ne contienne pas
d’additifs antifriction. Les huiles pour voitures (portant
souvent la désignation “ENERGY CONSERVING II”)
contiennent des additifs antifriction qui vont faire patiner
l’embrayage et/ou l’embrayage de démarreur, ce qui va
provoquer une réduction de la durabilité des organes et
une baisse de rendement.
