They will get familiar with EFI basic operation, fuel pump designs, basic injection duration, and oxygen sensor operation. They will learn troubleshooting procedures using the Yamaha EFI on-board diagnostic mode. Students will also learn about Yamaha Chip Controlled Throttle (YCC-T) systems, Yamaha Chip Controlled Intake (YCC-I) systems, and the exhaust gas analyzer that is used for tuning and troubleshooting purposes.

Suspension Systems – Students will get familiar with the frame and suspension systems found on Yamaha street bikes and dirt bikes, and learn procedures for tuning front and rear suspensions on Yamaha off-road and street motorcycles. They will learn to service the front fork assemblies found on Yamaha street and off-road motorcycles, including single-cartridge and AOS twin-cartridge front forks.

Yamaha Motorcycle Periodic Maintenance – Students will learn periodic maintenance procedures for Yamaha street engines and chassis, including cam servicing, valve clearance inspection, clutch servicing, tire servicing and chassis adjustments.

Yamaha Off-Road Periodic Maintenance – Students will learn periodic servicing on off-road motorcycles, including top end services, valve clearance inspection, carburetor cleaning and adjustment, filter servicing, oil changes, two-stroke theory and servicing, and chassis adjustments.

Snowmobile Service Technology – Students will learn to identify various Yamaha snowmobile models and get an introduction to basic snowmobile driveline technology. Special emphasis will be placed on the variable drive system, which students learn to disassemble, inspect and reassemble in addition to performing clutch engagement adjustments for elevation changes. The snowmobile’s fuel system and suspension will also be covered, and students will learn how to set up the suspension for various trail and off-trail conditions. Students will learn the proper procedures for ski alignment, track replacement, and setting proper tension and alignment.

Personal Watercraft Service Technology – Students will get familiar with the unique cooling systems used in personal watercraft (PWC) and learn to synchronize and adjust multiple PWC carburetors. They will learn to remove, inspect and reinstall a jet pump, and how to diagnose pump problems such as cavitation. Maintenance procedures, such as engine flushing and top end fogging, will also be covered. Students will learn to troubleshoot EFI management problems on Yamaha EFI watercraft using Yamaha Diagnostic software and a laptop computer.

Generator Service Technology – Students will learn about the theory and servicing of generators. They will gain hands-on experience in troubleshooting techniques for AVR, non-AVR, AVR/brush-type and Inverter generators. Use of various generator diagnostic tools will be stressed, including the generator test set (load bank). Students will learn to troubleshoot the DC circuits used in some generators and get hands-on experience diagnosing the difference between a generator problem that is mechanical and one that is electrical in nature.
