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.

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.

tions are correct when reinstall-
ing the battery.

Fuse replacementThe fuse boxes are located behind
cowling B. (See page 6-6 for removal
and installation procedures.)
If any fuse is blown, turn off the ignition
switch and the switch of the circuit in
question. Install a new fuse of proper
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. @
