Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in the tank.
WARNING
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are extremely flam-
mable. To avoid fires and explosions and to re-
duce the risk of injury when refueling, follow these
instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the engine and be
sure that driver and passenger are outside
the vehicle.
Never refuel while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or other sourc-
es of ignition such as the pilot lights of water
heaters and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Because fuel ex-
pands when it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immediately.
4. Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed securely.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha vehicles receive an inspection
before shipment from the factory, trouble may oc-
cur during operation. Any problem in the fuel, com-
pression, or ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The troubleshooting
chart describes a quick, easy procedure for mak-
ing checks. If your vehicle requires any repair, take
it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to prop-
erly service your vehicle. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your vehicle. 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.
WARNING
When checking the fuel system, do not smoke
and make sure there are no open flames or
sparks in the area, including pilot lights from
water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or gaso-
line vapors can ignite or explode, causing se-
vere injury or property damage.
