Starting a cold engine
WARNING
Always make sure all control cables work

weather. If the control cables are frozen or do
not work smoothly, you could be unable to
control the vehicle, which could lead to an ac-
cident or collision.1. Apply the brake.
2. Shift the drive select lever into the neutral po-
sition.NOTE:_

When the drive select lever is in the neutral
position, the neutral indicator light should
come on. If the neutral indicator light does not
come on, ask a Yamaha dealer to inspect the
electric circuit.


The engine can be started in any gear if the
brake is applied. However, it is recommend-
ed to shift into neutral before starting the en-
gine.
