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.

or the seat cover.
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 excessively warm
or cold place (less than 0°C or more than
30°C).NOTE:Make any necessary repairs before storing the
machine.
