●
This model is designed for off-
road use only. Become thor-
oughly familiar with all operat-
ing controls and their functions
before riding. Consult a Yamaha
dealer regarding any control or
function that you do not thor-
oughly understand.
●
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
●
Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is removed. If
the sidestand is not removed, it
will contact the ground, which
could distract the operator or af-
fect the balance of the motor-
cycle, resulting in a possible
loss of control.

Starting and warming up a
cold engine

For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting
off. Never accelerate hard when the
engine is cold!

starter (choke) off.

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. Instead, start
the engine with the throttle slightly
open.
NOTE:
If the engine does not start after several
kicks, try again with the throttle 1/4 to
1/2 open.
