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 sid-

estand up.

See page 4-15 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. (See page 6-2.) The

neutral indicator light should come

on. If not, ask a Yamaha dealer to

check the electrical circuit.

4. Turn the starter (choke) on and

completely close the throttle. (See

page 4-10.)

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.

NOTICE

ECA11370

The engine trouble warning light

should come on when the key is

turned to “ON”, and then go off after

a few seconds. If the engine trouble

warning light comes on or flashes

after starting, immediately stop the

engine, and have a Yamaha dealer

check the self-diagnosis system.

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.
