Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha machines receive a rigid in-
spection 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 pow-
er. The troubleshooting chart describes a quick,
easy procedure for making checks. If your ma-
chine 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 machine. Use only genuine
Yamaha parts on your machine. Imitation parts
may look like Yamaha parts, but they are often in-
ferior. Consequently, they have a shorter service
life and can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
Do not smoke when checking the fuel system.
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing severe in-
jury or property damage. Make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the area, including
pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces.

CAUTION:
Be sure to use motor oils that do not contain anti-
friction modifiers. Passenger car motor oils (often
labeled “Energy Conserving II”) contain anti-fric-
tion additives which will cause clutch and/or
starter clutch slippage, resulting in reduced com-
ponent life and poor engine performance.

ATTENTION:
Veiller à ce que l’huile de moteur utilisée ne contienne pas
d’additifs antifriction. Les huiles pour automobiles (portant
souvent la désignation “ENERGY CONSERVING II”)
contiennent des additifs antifriction. Ceux-ci feront patiner
l’embrayage et/ou l’embrayage de démarreur, ce qui provo-
quera une réduction de la durabilité des organes et du ren-
dement.
