Take care not to spill battery fluid
on the chain. Battery fluid may
weaken the chain causing shorter
chain life and possibly result in an
accident.
Battery storage
8When the motorcycle will not
be used for a month or longer,
remove the battery, fully
charge it and store it in a cool,
dry place. Completely recharge
the battery before reinstalla-
tion.
1. Battery breather hose
8If the battery will be stored for
longer than two months, check
the specific gravity of the fluid
at least once a month and fully
recharge the battery when it is
too low.
8Always make sure the connec-
tions are correct when putting
the battery back in the motor-
cycle. Make sure the breather
hose is properly connected
and is not damaged or
obstructed.

EAU01307Fuse replacement
The fuse is located behind panel B.
(See page 6-7 for panel removal
and installation procedures.)
If the fuse is blown, turn off the
main switch and the switch of the
circuit in question. Install a new
fuse of proper amperage. Turn on
the switches and see if the electri-
cal device operates. If the fuse
immediately blows again, consult a
Yamaha dealer.
