TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha scooters receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, 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 re-
quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the scooter prop-
erly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-
or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15142
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, including pilot lights from water heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
gasoline vapors can ignite or ex-
plode, causing severe injury or
property damage.
Smart key system troubleshooting
Please check the following items when
the smart key system does not work.
Is the smart key turned on? (See
page 3-5.)

Is the smart key battery dis-
charged? (See page 3-6.)

Is the smart key battery installed
correctly? (See page 3-6.)

Is the smart key being used in a lo-
cation with strong radio waves or
other electromagnetic noise? (See
page 3-1.)

Are you using the smart key that is
registered to the vehicle?

Is the vehicle battery discharged?
When the vehicle battery is dis-
charged, the smart key system will
not operate. Please have the vehi-
cle battery charged or replaced.
(See page 7-28.)
If the smart key system does not work
after checking the above-mentioned
