EVU01010TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha vehicles receive an inspec-
tion 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 vehicle
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha deal-
er.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealer-
ship have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your vehicle. Use only
genuine Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imita-
tion parts may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior. Consequently, they
have a shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.
Tightening torques:
Panel nut: 7 Nm (0.7 m·kgf, 5.1 ft·lbf)
Panel rear bolt: 4.0 Nm (0.40 m·kgf, 2.9 ft·lbf)

5B410025StorageLong term storage (60 days or more) of your
vehicle will require some preventive proce-
dures to guard against deterioration. Make
any necessary repairs before storing the vehi-
cle.
After thoroughly cleaning the vehicle, prepare
for storage as follows:1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add
the specified amount of Yamaha Fuel
Stabilizer and Conditioner or equivalent
product. Operate the vehicle for at least
5 minutes to distribute treated fuel
through the fuel system. 2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W-40 or 20W-50
motor oil in the spark plug hole and install
the spark plug. Ground the spark plug
wire and turn the engine over several
times to coat the cylinder wall with oil.
3. Lubricate all control cables.
4. Block up the frame to raise all wheels off the ground.
5. Tie a plastic bag over the exhaust pipe outlet to prevent moisture from entering.
6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo-
sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to
any rubber parts or the seat covers.
Specified amount:
1 oz of stabilizer to each gallon of fuel (or
7.5 ml of stabilizer to each liter of fuel)1XP7C_EE.book Page 3 Monday, June 9, 2014 5:17 PM

7. 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 ex-
cessively warm or cold place [less than
0 °C (30 °F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)].
Use of fuel stabilizer and conditioner elimi-
nates the need to drain the fuel system. Con-
sult a Yamaha dealer if the fuel system needs
to be drained.1XP7C_EE.book Page 4 Monday, June 9, 2014 5:17 PM
