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.

When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there
are no open flames or sparks in the
