Replacement parts
If replacement parts are necessary, use only
genuine Yamaha parts or parts of equivalent
design and quality. Any part of inferior quality
may malfunction, and the resulting loss of
control could endanger the operator and pas-
sengers. Yamaha genuine parts and acces-
sories are available from your Yamaha
dealer.

Maintenance interval guidelines
The service intervals provided in the Mainte-
nance Chart were developed based upon
“typical” use that includes operating at varied
speeds, with sufficient time for engine warm
up and cool-down, a medium to light load, and
an average cruising speed near the 3000 to
4000 rpm range. As with any engine, howev-
er, if your normal operating conditions are dif-
ferent, you should consider service more
often than shown, especially how often you
change your engine oil and gear oil. Exam-
ples might include extended wide-open-throt-
tle use or long periods of trolling or idling,
carrying heavy loads, or frequent starting and
stopping or shifting. More frequent mainte-
nance will often pay off many times over in in-
creased engine life and greater owner
satisfaction. Consult your Yamaha dealer for
additional maintenance recommendations.
