Okay, gather 'round friends and prepare yourself, 'cause we're about to go down the rabbit hole......

It goes without saying that the proper and correct identification of your bike is important for a number of purposes----first and foremost, so that you can order the correct parts for it!

We all knew there had to be a reason.......


IN THE BEGINNING:

Yamaha is the world's second largest producer of motorcycles, but before making any motorcycles, Yamaha had become the world's largest piano maker, which explains their trademark "tuning forks" logo. So here's their story, which is also the story of your bike, and how it came about to be.

As much as we all love our bikes..........especially when we're challenged by the many and varied tasks necessary to repair, rebuild, or maintain them (after all, this is what makes a 'biker' and a "guy who rides motorcycles" different) ....... sometimes it can be more of a challenge to find the proper, honest, experienced advice and know-how necessary to proceed with such tasks, than it is to actually perform such tasks!...

Electrical problems can be terribly difficult to diagnose properly. And to add to your level of frustration, both electrical and fuel-related problems can manifest themselves in the same ways: hard starting, mis-firing, poor performance, back-firing, etc.
