I recently purchased two pre-owned Yamaha FX Cruisers. One is a 2005 with 140 hours and the other is a 2006 with 13 hours. I took both out over this past weekend and now have two separate problems I'm hoping someone else can help with.
Both ran great on Saturday with the exception of an overheating issue when we ran through an area of weeds which jammed up the intakes. We shut both down as soon as the warning lights came on and cleaned them out, everything was fine after that and we rode for another hour or so.
On Sunday, I went to ride again and the 2006 didn't want to start. Finally started but ran really rough and wouldn't get up to speed so I shut it down and rode the 2005. Pulled the plugs on the 2006 and they were black and all 4 were oily. The air filter was pristine and there was no sign of any oil in the air intake. I replaced all the plugs and it fired up and seems to run ok but I haven't had it in the water. Any idea why the plugs would be oily in a unit with only 15 hours on it?
Yesterday went to start the 2005 and got only clicking and then nothing. Assume it might be the battery so I took it out this morning and put it on the charger. Noticed the fluid level is a bit low in the battery but am not sure if these batteries are distilled water or not.
Thanks for any help anyone might offer. Dealership wasn't much help and didn't have any suggestions at all other than to suggest I bring it in after changing plugs.
