TroubleshootingAlthough 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.

WARNINGWARNING

A. CLEANINGFrequent, thorough cleaning of your
Motorcycle will not only enhance its
appearance but will improve its
general performance and extend
the useful life of many components.1. Before cleaning the Motorcycle:
a. Block off the end of the exhaust
pipe to prevent water entry; a
plastic bag and strong rubber
band may be used.
b. Make sure the spark plug and all
filler caps are properly installed.
2. If the engine case is excessively
greasy, apply degreaser with a
paint brush. Do not apply
degreaser to the chain, sprockets,
or wheel axles.
3. Rinse the dirt and degreaser off
with a garden hose. Use only
enough pressure to do the job.Direct excessive Hose Pressure
may cause water Entry Into Wheel
Bearing, Front Fork Brakes,
Transmission Seals & Electrical
Parts, there-by leading to its
Detorioration.

Improper cleaning can damage
the cowlings, panels and other
plastic parts. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with mild
detergent and water to clean
plastic.
Do not use any harsh chemical
products on plastic parts.
Alaways use clean cloth or
sponge for cleaning the
Motorcycle.
CAUTION :4. After riding on dirty roads, wash
the Motorcycle with cold water
immediately. Do not use warm
water to clean the tyre.

about one tablespoon of SAE
10W30 or 20W40 motor oil in the
spark plug hole and reinstall the

5. Lubricate all control cables.
6. Block up the frame to raise both
wheels off the ground.
7. Tie a plastic bag over the
exhaust pipe outlet to prevent
moisture from entering.

atmosphere, coat all exposed
metal surfaces with a light film of
oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber
parts or the seat cover.
