NOTICE
• Before removing the throttle body, clean
the area around the throttle body to pre-
vent dirt and other foreign material from
falling into the engine.
• If the throttle body is subject to strong
shocks or dropped during cleaning, re-
place it.
• Do not use any caustic carburetor clean-
ing solution.
• Do not directly push the throttle valves to
open them.
• Do not loosen the throttle valve stopper
screw “1”, throttle valve pulley nut “2”, or
throttle valve screw “3”. A loss of perfor-
mance may occur.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the
throttle body. Foreign materials may ad-
here to the intake air pressure sensor pas-
sage “a” and fuel injector “b” in the
throttle body.3. Check:
• Starter knob/idle screw passage “c”
Obstruction  Blow out with compressed
air.

EASB111326YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
This model uses the Yamaha diagnostic tool to identify malfunctions.
For information about using the Yamaha diagnostic tool, refer to the operation manual that is included
with the tool.
FEATURES OF THE YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
A diagnosis can be made more quickly than traditional methods with the Yamaha diagnostic tool.
Using this software, ECU and sensor data, as well as fault diagnosis, vehicle maintenance, and any
necessary information can be recorded and displayed on your computer screen through a USB
adapter connected to the computer interface with a communication cable connected to the vehicle’s
ECU.
Data obtained in various functions can be saved as vehicle history, and can be accumulated.
FUNCTIONS OF THE YAMAHA DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
However, the diagnostic tool cannot be used to freely change the basic vehicle functions, such as
adjusting the ignition timing.Yamaha diagnostic tool
90890-03231
Yamaha diagnostic tool (US)
90890-03234
Fault diagnosis mode Fault codes recorded on the ECU are read, and the con-
tents are displayed.
Function diagnostic mode Check the operation of the output value of each sensor
and actuator.
Inspection mode Determine whether each sensor or actuator is functioning
properly.
CO adjustment mode Adjust the concentration of CO admissions during idling.
Monitoring mode Displays a graph of sensor output values for actual oper-
ating conditions.
Logging mode Records and saves the sensor output value in actual driv-
ing conditions.
View log Displays the logging data.
ECU rewrite If necessary, the ECU is rewritten using the ECU rewrite
data provided by Yamaha. Ignition timing adjustment, etc.
cannot be changed from the vehicle’s original state.
