CAUTION:
ECA10610
Use only distilled water, as tap water
contains minerals that are harmfulto the battery.
6. Check and, if necessary, tighten
the battery lead connections and
correct the breather hose routing.
7. Place the battery cover in the orig-
inal position, and then install the
battery band.
8. Close the seat.To store the battery
1. If the vehicle will not be used for
more than one month, remove the
battery, fully charge it, and then
place it in a cool, dry place.
2. If the battery will be stored for more
than two months, check the specif-
ic gravity of the electrolyte at least
once a month and fully charge the
battery whenever necessary.
3. Fully charge the battery before in-
stallation.
4. After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly con-
nected to the battery terminals and
that the breather hose is properly
routed, in good condition, and not
obstructed.
CAUTION:
ECA10600
If the breather hose is positioned in
such a way that the frame is ex-
posed to electrolyte or gas expelled
from the battery, the frame could
suffer structural and external dam-ages.
EAU23481
Replacing the fuse The fuse holder is located under the
seat. (See page 3-7.)
If the fuse is blown, replace it as fol-
lows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
all electrical circuits.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage.

CAUTION:
ECA10640
Do not use a fuse of a higher amper-
age rating than recommended to
avoid causing extensive damage to
the electrical system and possibly afire.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuits to check if the
devices operate.
4. If the fuse immediately blows
again, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical system.

Replacing a headlight bulb If a headlight bulb burns out, replace it
as follows.
1. Remove cowling C. (See page
6-5.)
2. Remove the headlight bulb holder
by pushing it inward and turning it
counterclockwise, and then re-
move the defective bulb.
WARNING
EWA10790
Headlight bulbs get very hot. There-
fore, keep flammable products away
from a lit headlight bulb, and do not
touch the bulb until it has cooleddown.3. Place a new bulb into position, and
then secure it with the bulb holder.
CAUTION:
ECA10660
Do not touch the glass part of the
headlight bulb to keep it free from
oil, otherwise the transparency of
the glass, the luminosity of the bulb,
and the bulb life will be adversely af-
fected. Thoroughly clean off any dirt
and fingerprints on the headlight
bulb using a cloth moistened with al-cohol or thinner.
4. Install the cowling.
5. Have a Yamaha dealer adjust the
headlight beam if necessary.
