TroubleshootingTroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition sys-
tems, for example, can cause poor
starting and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your scooter
require any repair, take it to a
Yamaha dealer, whose skilled techni-
cians have the necessary tools,
experience, and know-how to service
the scooter properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life
and can lead to expensive repair
bills.

cCDo not touch the glass part of the
headlight bulb to keep it free from
oil, otherwise the transparency of
the glass, the luminosity of the
bulb, and the bulb life will be
adversely affected. Thoroughly
clean off any dirt and fingerprints
on the headlight bulb using a cloth
moistened with alcohol or thinner.4. Install the bulb cover, and then
connect the coupler.
5. Have a Yamaha dealer adjust
the headlight beam if necessary.
