w8Do not overfill the fuel tank. Fuel expands
when it heats up. If the fuel tank is over-
filled, fuel could spill out due to heat from
the engine or the sun.
8Be careful not to spill fuel, especially on
the engine or exhaust pipe which can
cause a fire and severe injury. Wipe up
any spilled fuel immediately.
8Do not refuel right after the engine has
been running and is still very hot.
8Be sure the fuel tank cap is closed secure-
ly.EBU01117Engine and transmission oil

EBU00413Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha machines receive a rigid
inspection 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 machine requires any repair, take it to a
Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to
properly service your machine. Use only gen-
uine Yamaha parts on your machine. Imitation
parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they are
often inferior. Consequently, they have a short-
er service life and can lead to expensive repair
bills.

wDo not smoke when checking the fuel sys-
tem. Fuel can ignite or explode, causing
severe injury or property damage. Make sure
there are no open flames or sparks in the
area, including pilot lights from water
heaters or furnaces.

EBU00526B. STORAGE
Long term storage (60 days or more) of your
machine will require some preventive procedu-
res to guard against deterioration. After tho-
roughly cleaning the machine, prepare for stora-
ge as follows:
1. Fill the fuel tank with fresh fuel and add fuel
stabilizer (if available).NOTE:
Use of fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to
drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha dealer
if the fuel system is to be drained instead.2. Remove the spark plug, pour about one
tablespoon of SAE 10W30 or 20W40 motor
oil in the spark plug hole and reinstall the
spark plug. Ground the spark plug wire and
turn the engine over several times to coat
the cylinder wall with oil.
