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  chart
represents a quick and easy procedure
for  checking  these  vital  systems
yourself.  However,  should  your  scoo-
ter  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.
