Yamaha RST90W, RSTGTW 2007 Owner's Manual

To start the Yamaha RST90W in cold weather, ensure the choke is fully engaged, and give the engine a few extra seconds of cranking. If it doesn't start immediately, wait a few moments before trying again to avoid flooding.
The recommended oil type for the Yamaha RSTGTW 2007 is Yamalube 4-stroke oil 10W-40, which is formulated for optimal performance in various temperature conditions.
Start by checking the battery connections for corrosion or looseness. Ensure the battery is fully charged and test fuses for continuity. If the problem persists, inspect wiring for any signs of wear or damage.
It is recommended to inspect the spark plugs every 3,000 miles or annually, whichever comes first, and replace them if they show signs of wear, such as erosion or heavy deposits.
First, check the coolant level and ensure there are no leaks in the system. Inspect the radiator for blockages and clean it if necessary. Ensure the fan is operational. If overheating continues, consult a professional technician.
Adjusting the carburetor involves setting the idle speed and mixture screws. Turn the idle speed screw to achieve the recommended RPM, then adjust the mixture screw until the engine runs smoothly. Ensure the engine is warm during adjustments.
Refer to the owner’s manual for exact specifications, but generally, the front tire should be at 32 psi and the rear tire at 36 psi for optimal performance.
To maintain battery life, keep it charged especially during long periods of inactivity. Clean terminals regularly to prevent corrosion, and check the electrolyte level if applicable. Disconnect the battery when storing the vehicle for extended periods.
Common signs of a failing clutch include difficulty in shifting gears, a slipping sensation during acceleration, and unusual noises when the clutch is engaged. If you experience these, consider inspecting or replacing the clutch.
Locate the brake fluid reservoir, usually near the handlebars or under the seat. Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and check the fluid level against the markings on the reservoir. Top it up with recommended brake fluid if necessary.
