Troubleshooting
Although Yamaha machines receive a rigid
inspection before shipment from the factory,
trouble may occur during operation. Any
problem 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 dealer-
ship have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your machine. Use
only genuine 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.

injury or property damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
