●
The coolant temperature warn-
ing light should come on when
the key is turned to “ON”, and
then go off after two to three
seconds. If the coolant tempera-
ture warning light flickers or re-
mains on after starting,
immediately stop the engine
and have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
●
The engine trouble warning
light should also come on when
the key is turned to “ON”. If the
warning light does not come on
when the key is turned to “ON”,
flashes or remains on after
starting the engine, have a
Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
6. After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) back halfway.
NOTICE:
For maximum engine
life, always warm the engine up
before starting off. Never accel-
erate hard when the engine is
cold!
[ECA11131]
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. 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.

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.
