Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha machines receive a rigid
inspection before shipment from the factory,
trouble may occur during operation. Any prob-
lem 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 machine
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha dealer.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-how to
properly service your machine. Use only gen-
uine Yamaha parts on your machine. Imitation
parts may look like Yamaha parts, but they are
often inferior. Consequently, they have a shorter
service life and can lead to expensive repair
bills.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Checking the fuel system while smoking
or near an open flame.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Fuel can ignite or explode, causing severe
injury or property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Do not smoke when checking the fuel sys-
tem. Make sure there are no open flames
or sparks in the area, including pilot lights
from water heaters or furnaces.
