6-34 Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles receive a rigid inspection
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 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 expensive
repair bills.
