WARRANTY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q. What costs are my responsibility during the warranty period?
A. The customer’s responsibility includes all costs of normal maintenance services, non-warranty
repairs, accident and collision damage, and oil, oil filters, air filters, spark plugs, and brake shoes or
pads.
Q. What are some examples of “abnormal” strain, neglect, or abuse?
A. These terms are general and overlap each other in areas. Specific examples include: Running the
machine without oil; operating the machine with a broken or damaged part which causes another part
to fail, damage or failure due to improper or careless transportation and or tie down; and so on. If you
have any specific questions on operation or maintenance, please contact your dealer for advice.
Q. Does the warranty cover incidental costs such as towing or transportation due to a failure?
A. No. The warranty is limited to repair of the machine itself.
Q. May I perform any or all of the recommended maintenance shown in the Owner’s Service Manual
instead of having the dealer do them?
A. Yes, if you are a qualified mechanic and follow the procedures specified in the Owner’s Service Man-
ual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring special tools or equipment be done by a Yama-
ha motorcycle dealer.
Q. Will the warranty be void or canceled if I do not operate or maintain my new YZ or WR exactly as
specified in the Owner’s Service Manual?
A. No. The warranty on a new motorcycle cannot be “voided” or “cancelled.” However, if a particular
failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as shown in the Owner’s Service
Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.
Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?
A. Each Yamaha motorcycle dealer is expected to:
1. Completely set up every new machine before sale.
2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satisfaction at the time of
sale, and upon your request at any later date.
In addition, each Yamaha motorcycle dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and warran-
ty repair work.
Q. Does the warranty on the engine include the carburetor, air filter, air box, and exhaust pipe?
A No. The warranty covers only the engine components.
