6 Battery storage
This motorcycle is equipped with a dig-
ital speedometer and the odometer
memory tends to drain the battery.
When the motorcycle is not used for a
month or longer, be sure to 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. 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, consult 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. @
