OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS

For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting
off. Never accelerate hard when the
engine is cold!
7. When the engine is warm, turn the
starter (choke) off.
TIP
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off.
Starting a warm engine
Follow the same procedure as for start-
ing a cold engine with the exception
that the starter (choke) is not required
when the engine is warm.
TIP
If the engine fails to start by pushing the
start switch, release the switch, wait a
few seconds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short as
possible to preserve the battery. Do not
crank the engine more than 10 seconds
on any one attempt. If the engine does
not start with the starter motor, try using
the kickstarter.
The coolant temperature warning
light should come on when the key
is turned to “ON”, and then go off af-
ter a few seconds. If the coolant tem-
perature warning light comes on
after starting, immediately stop the
engine, and have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
6. After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) back halfway.
