improper rating can cause exten-
sive electrical system damage and
possibly a fire.

Supporting the motorcycleSince the Yamaha XT500E/XT600E
has no centerstand, follow these pre-
cautions when removing the front and
rear wheel or performing other main-
tenance requiring the motorcycle to
stand upright. Check that the motor-
cycle is in a stable and level position
before starting any maintenance. A
strong wooden box can be placed
under the engine for added stability.
Front wheel service
To stabilize the rear of the motorcy-
cle, either use a motorcycle stand or
place a motorcycle jack under the
frame in front of the rear wheel to
prevent it from moving from side to
side. Then use a motorcycle stand to
elevate the front wheel off of the
ground.
