hose holder is correct.
• Take care not to kink or pinch the fuel
hose.
TIP
• Insert the fuel hose into the fuel pipe securely
until you hear a “click”.
• Slide the fuel hose connector cover “1” at the
hose end in the direction of the arrow.
• Install the fuel hose connector holder “a”.
• Check that the fuel hose and the fuel pump
lead are routed through the guide on the cov-
er.3. Connect:
• Fuel pump coupler
4. Install:
• Air scoop (left/right)
• Seat
• Side cover (left/right)
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page 4-
1.
EAS1SM9310CHECKING THE FUEL PRESSURE
1. Check:
• Fuel pressure
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Remove the side cover (left/right), the seat
and the air scoop (left/right).
Refer to “GENERAL CHASSIS” on page 4-
1.
b. Remove the fuel tank bolt and lift the fuel
tank.
c. Disconnect the fuel hose from the fuel
pump.
Refer to “REMOVING THE FUEL TANK” on
page 7-2.
EWA
WARNING
Cover the fuel hose connection with a cloth
when disconnecting it. This is because re-
sidual pressure in the fuel hose could cause
fuel to spurt out when the hose is removed.
ECA
NOTICE
Make sure that the fuel hose is disconnect-
ed by hand. Do not forcibly disconnect the
hose with tools.
d. Connect the pressure gauge “1” and the fuel
pressure adapter “2” to the fuel hose.

EAS1SM9326YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
This model uses the Yamaha diagnostic tool to identify malfunctions.
For information about using the Yamaha diagnostic tool, refer to the operation manual that is included
with the tool.
FEATURES OF THE YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
A diagnosis can be made more quickly than traditional methods with the Yamaha diagnostic tool.
Using this software, ECU and sensor data, as well as fault diagnosis, vehicle maintenance, and any
necessary information can be recorded and displayed on your computer screen through a USB
adapter connected to the computer interface with a communication cable connected to the vehicle’s
ECU.
Data obtained in various functions can be saved as vehicle history, and can be accumulated.
FUNCTIONS OF THE YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
However, the diagnostic tool cannot be used to freely change the basic vehicle functions, such as
adjusting the ignition timing.
CONNECTING THE YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
1. Remove the coupler for connecting setting tool.Yamaha diagnostic tool
90890-03231
Yamaha diagnostic tool (US)
90890-03234
Fault diagnosis mode Fault codes recorded on the ECU are read, and the con-
tents are displayed.
Function diagnostic mode Check the operation of the output value of each sensor
and actuator.
Inspection mode Determine whether each sensor or actuator is functioning
properly.
CO adjustment mode Adjust the concentration of CO admissions during idling.
Monitoring mode Displays a graph of sensor output values for actual oper-
ating conditions.
Logging mode Records and saves the sensor output value in actual driv-
ing conditions.
View log Displays the logging data.
ECU rewrite If necessary, the ECU is rewritten using the ECU rewrite
data provided by Yamaha. Ignition timing adjustment, etc.
cannot be changed from the vehicle’s original state.
