● If the oil level warning light flick-
ers or remains on after starting,
immediately stop the engine,
and then check the engine oil
level and the vehicle for oil leak-
age. If necessary, add engine
oil, and then check the warning
light again. If, when the key is
turned to “ON”, the warning
light does not come on for a few
seconds, then go off, or if it
does not go off after starting
with sufficient engine oil, have a
Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
● If the coolant temperature warn-
ing light flickers or remains on
after starting, immediately stop
the engine, and then check the
coolant level and the vehicle for
coolant leakage. If necessary,
add coolant, and then check the
warning light again. If, when the
key is turned to “ON”, the warn-
ing light does not come on for a
few seconds, then go off, or if it
does not go off after starting
with sufficient coolant, have a
Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
● If the fuel level warning light re-
mains on after starting, stop the
engine, and then check the fuel
level. If necessary, refuel as
soon as possible, and then
check the warning light again. If,
when the key is turned to “ON”,
the warning light does not come
on for a few seconds, then go
off, or if it does not go off after
starting with sufficient fuel,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
5. After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) back halfway.
CAUTION:
ECA11130
For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting
off. Never accelerate hard when the
engine is cold!
6. When the engine is warm, turn the
starter (choke) off.
NOTE:
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off. To avoid the possi-
bility of excessive exhaust emissions,
never leave the starter (choke) on long-
er than necessary. The time necessary
for starter (choke) use depends upon
the ambient temperature. Tempera-
tures above 10 °C (50 °F) require about
10 seconds of starter (choke) use and
temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) re-
quire about 35 seconds with the starter
(choke) turned on, then about 2.5 min-
utes with the starter (choke) in the half-
way position.
