Coolant temperature warning light “ ”
When the coolant temperature reaches a speci-
fied level, this light comes on to warn that the
coolant temperature is too hot. If the light comes
on during operation, stop the engine as soon as
it is safe to do so and allow the engine to cool
down for about 10 minutes.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warn-
ing light does not come on, and then go off,
have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
