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 damages, and oil, oil filters, air filters,
spark plugs, and brake shoes.
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 out of oil, sustained high-rpm, full-throttle, 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. 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
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
and Service Manual. We do recommend, however, that items requiring
special tools or equipment be done by Yamaha ATV dealer.
Q. Will the warranty be void or cancelled if I do not operate or maintain my new ATV
exactly as specified in the Owner’s Manual?
A. No. The warranty on a new ATV cannot be “voided” or “cancelled”. However,
if a particular failure is caused by operation or maintenance other than as shown
in the Owner’s Manual, that failure may not be covered under warranty.
Q. What responsibility does my dealer have under this warranty?
A. Each Yamaha ATV dealer is expected to:
1.
Completely set up every new machine before sale.
2. Explain the operation, maintenance, and warranty requirements to your satis-
faction at the time of sale, and upon your request at any later date.
3. Each Yamaha ATV dealer is held responsible for his setup, service and war-
ranty repair work.
Q. Is the warranty transferable to second owners?
A. Yes. The reminder of the existing warranty can be transferred upon request. The
unit has to be inspected and re-registered by an authorized Yamaha ATV dealer
for the policy to remain effective.
