PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
PROPER PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
OF YOUR VEHICLE IS IMPORTANT
IN ORDER TO ENJOY LONG, PLEA-
SURABLE SERVICE. ESPECIALLY
IMPORTANT ARE THE MAINTE-
NANCE SERVICES RELATED TO
EMISSIONS CONTROL. THESE
CONTROLS NOT ONLY FUNCTION
TO ENSURE CLEANER AIR, BUT
ARE ALSO VITAL TO PROPER EN-
GINE OPERATION AND MAXIMUM
PERFORMANCE. IN THE FOLLOW-
ING PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
CHARTS, THE SERVICES RELATED
TO EMISSIONS CONTROL ARE
GROUPED SEPARATELY. THESE
SERVICES REQUIRE SPECIALIZED
DATA, KNOWLEDGE, AND EQUIP-
MENT. YAMAHA DEALERS ARE
TRAINED AND EQUIPPED TO PER-
FORM THESE PARTICULAR SER-
VICES.
