Troubleshooting
Although  Yamaha  scooters  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
yourself. However, should your scooter
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the  necessary  tools,  experience,  and
know-how  to  service  the  scooter
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement
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.
