Measure the spark plug gap with a wire thick-
ness gauge and, if necessary, adjust the gap
to specification.a. Spark plug gapInstallation1. Clean the surface of the spark plug gas- ket and its mating surface, and then wipe
off any grime from the spark plug
threads. 2. Install the spark plug and tighten it to the
specified torque. If a torque wrench is not
available when you are installing the
spark plug, a good estimate of the correct
torque is one-quarter to one-half turn
past finger tight. Have the spark plug
tightened to the specified torque as soon
as possible.
3. Install the spark plug cap.
4. Install the console.
Spark plug gap: 0.8–0.9 mm (0.031–0.035 in)
Tightening torque:Spark plug:
13 Nm (1.3 m·kgf, 9.4 ft·lbf)

ance must be adjusted regularly. This adjust-
ment however, should be left to a professional
Yamaha service technician.

front and rear wheels. Install the nuts
with their tapered side towards the
wheel.
2. Lower the vehicle so that the wheel is on the ground.
3. Tighten the wheel nuts in crisscross pat-
tern to the specified torque.

EVU01010Troubleshooting
Although 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.
