Normal tap water contains miner-
als which are harmful to a battery;
therefore, refill only with distilled
water.

w
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.
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.
EAU01073Fuse replacement
The fuse cases are located under
the rider seat.
If a 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 imme-
diately blows again, consult a
Yamaha dealer.

Avoid touching the glass part of a
bulb. Keep it free from oil; other-
wise, the transparency of the
glass, life of the bulb, and lumi-
nous flux will be adversely affect-
ed. If oil gets on a bulb, thoroughly
clean it with a cloth moistened
with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
5. Install the bulb cover, connec-
tors and headlight unit.
Ask a Yamaha dealer to adjust
the headlight beam if neces-
sary.
