Engine control system

EMU26869

Low oil pressure alert

If the oil pressure drops too low, the alert de-
vice will activate.



The engine speed will automatically de-
crease to about 2000–3500 r/min.



The low oil pressure-alert indicator will
light or blink (if equipped).



The buzzer will sound (if equipped).

If the alert system has activated, stop the en-
gine as soon as it is safe to do so. Check the
oil level and add oil as needed. If the oil level
is correct, consult your Yamaha dealer.
