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.

8. Clean the seat with a vinyl
upholstery cleaner to keep the
cover pliable and glossy.
9. Automotive-type wax may be
applied to all painted and chrome-
plated surfaces. Avoid
combination cleaner waxes. Many
contain abrasive which may mar
the paint or protective finish. When
finished, start the engine and let it
idle for several minutes.
B. STORAGELong term storage (60 days or more)
of your Motorcycle will require some
preventive procedures to guard
against deterioration. After thor-
oughly cleaning the Motorcycle,
prepare for storage as follows:
1. Drain the fuel tank, fuel lines, and
carburetor float bowl.
2. Remove the empty fuel tank, pour
a cup of SAE 10W30 or 20W40
motor oil in the tank, shake the
tank to coat the inner surfaces
thoroughly and drain off the
excess oil. Reinstall the tank.
3. Remove the spark plug, pour
about one tablespoon of SAE
10W30 or 20W40 motor oil in the
spark plug hole and reinstall the
spark plug. Kick the engine over
several times (with the ignition off)
to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
4. Remove the drive chain.
Thoroughly clean the chain withsolvent and lubricate it. Reinstall
the chain or store it in a plastic bag
(tied to frame for safe-keeping).
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.
8. If storing in a humid or salt-air
atmosphere, coat all exposed
metal surfaces with a light film of
oil. Do not apply oil to any rubber
parts or the seat cover.
9. Remove the battery and charge it.
Store it in a dry place and
recharge it once a month. Do not
store the battery in an excessively
warm or cold place (less than 0ºC
or more than Ambient).
Make any necessary repairs before
storing the Motorcycle.
