EAU15999

Starting and warming up a

cold engine

In order for the ignition circuit cut-off

system to enable starting, one of the

following conditions must be met:

● The transmission is in the neutral

position.

● The transmission is in gear with

the clutch lever pulled and the

sidestand up.

See page 4-14 for more informa-

tion.

1. Turn the fuel cock lever to “ON”.

2. Turn the key to “ON” and make

sure that the engine stop switch is

set to “”.

3. Shift the transmission into the neu-

tral position. The neutral indicator

light should come on. If not, ask a

Yamaha dealer to check the elec-

trical circuit.

4. Turn the starter (choke) on and

completely close the throttle. (See

page 4-9.)

5. Start the engine by pushing the

start switch.

If the engine fails to start, release

the start switch, wait a few sec-

onds, and then try again. Each

starting attempt should be as short

as possible to preserve the bat-

tery. Do not crank the engine more

than 10 seconds on any one at-

tempt.

6. After starting the engine, move the

starter (choke) back halfway.

7. When the engine is warm, turn the

starter (choke) off.

TIP

The engine is warm when it responds

quickly 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.
