Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting chart
represents a quick and easy procedure
for checking these vital systems
yourself. However, should your
motorcycle require any repair, take it to
a Yamaha dealer, whose skilled
technicians have the necessary tools,
experience, and know-how to service the
motorcycle properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replacement
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.
EWA15141
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the area,
