level in the 2-stroke engine oil tank is
low during operation. If the warning
light comes on during operation, stop
immediately and fill the oil tank with
2-stroke engine oil of either JASO
grade “FC” or ISO grades “EG-C” or
“EG-D”. The warning light should go
off after the 2-stroke engine oil tank
has been refilled.
TIP
If the warning light does not come on
when the key is in the “ ” position or
does not go off after the 2-stroke
engine oil tank has been refilled, have
an Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
ECA16291
Do not operate the vehicle until you
know that the engine oil level is suf-
ficient.

1. Lock.
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Push the fuel tank cap into posi-
tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to
the original position, remove it,
and then close the lock cover.
TIP
The fuel tank cap cannot be closed
unless the key is in the lock. In addi-
tion, the key cannot be removed if the
cap is not properly closed and loc-
ked.
EWA11091
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13212
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. Stop
filling when the fuel reaches the
bottom of the filler tube. Because
fuel expands when it heats up,
heat from the engine or the sun
can cause fuel to spill out of the
fuel tank.

Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles recei-
ve a thorough inspection before ship-
ment 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 charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcy-
cle require any repair, take it to a
Yamaha dealer, whose skilled techni-
cians have the necessary tools, expe-
rience, and know-how to service the
motorcycle properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment 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.
EWA15141
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. Gasoli-
ne or gasoline vapors can ignite or
explode, causing severe injury or
property damage.
