Supporting the motorcycle

Since this model is not equipped with a

centerstand, follow these precautions

when removing the front and rear

wheel or performing other maintenance

requiring the motorcycle to stand up-

right. Check that the motorcycle is in a

stable and level position before starting

any maintenance. A strong wooden

box can be placed under the engine for

added stability.

To service the front wheel

1. Stabilize the rear of the motorcycle

by using a motorcycle stand or, if

an additional motorcycle stand is

not available, by placing a jack un-

der the frame in front of the rear

wheel.

2. Raise the front wheel off the

ground by using a motorcycle

stand.

To service the rear wheel

Raise the rear wheel off the ground by

using a motorcycle stand or, if a motor-

cycle stand is not available, by placing

a jack either under each side of the

frame in front of the rear wheel or under

each side of the swingarm.

Troubleshooting

Although Yamaha motorcycles receive

a thorough inspection before shipment

from the factory, trouble may occur dur-

ing 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 your-

self. 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 replace-

ment 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.

WARNING

EWA15141

When checking the fuel system, do

not smoke, and make sure there are

no open flames or sparks in the ar-

ea, including pilot lights from water
