NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the en-
gine more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt.
CAUTION:

●
The oil level warning light and
coolant temperature warning
light should come on when the
start switch is pushed, and they
should go off when the start
switch is released.
●
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 the warning light
does not come on when push-
ing the start switch, or if it does
not go off after starting with suf-
ficient engine oil, have a
Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
●
If the coolant temperature warn-
ing light remains on after start-
ing, immediately stop the
engine, and allow it to cool. If
the warning light does not come
on when pushing the start
switch, or if it does not go off af-
ter starting the engine, have a
Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
6. 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!
7. 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
7 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.
