6Battery storage
When the motorcycle is not used for a
month or longer, remove the battery,
fully charge it and store it in a cool, dry
place.
EC000102
CAUTION:@ l
Completely recharge the bat-
tery before storing. Storing a
discharged battery can cause
permanent battery damage.
l
Use a battery charger designed
for a sealed-type (MF) battery.
Using a conventional battery
charger will cause battery dam-
age. If you do not have a sealed-
type battery charger, contact
your Yamaha dealer.
l
Always make sure the connec-
tions are correct when reinstall-
ing the battery.

Fuse replacementThe fuse boxes are located under the
rider seat and the main fuse case is at-
tached to the starter relay.
If any fuse is blown, turn off the main
switch and the switch of the circuit in
question. Install a new fuse of specified
amperage. Turn on the switches and
see if the electrical device operates. If
the fuse immediately blows again, con-
sult a Yamaha dealer.
EC000103
CAUTION:@ Do not use fuses of higher amper-
age rating than those recommend-
ed. Substitution of a fuse of
improper rating can cause extensive
electrical system damage and pos-
sibly a fire. @

TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha motorcycles receive
a rigid inspection before shipment from
the factory, trouble may occur during
operation.
Any problem in the fuel, compression,
or ignition systems can cause poor
starting and loss of power. The trouble-
shooting chart describes a quick, easy
procedure for making checks.
If your motorcycle requires any repair,
bring it to a Yamaha dealer. The skilled
technicians at a Yamaha dealership
have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your motor-
cycle. Use only genuine Yamaha parts
on your motorcycle. Imitation parts may
look like Yamaha parts, but they are of-
ten inferior. Consequently, they have a
shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.
