w● ●● ●
●
Become thoroughly familiar with
all operating controls and their
functions before riding. Consult
a Yamaha dealer regarding any
control or function that you do
not thoroughly understand.
● ●● ●
●
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
● ●● ●
●
For safety, always start the en-
gine with the centerstand down.

Starting the engine
ECA10250
cCSee page 5-3 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.1. Turn the key to “ON”.
ECAT1070
cCThe engine trouble warning light and
coolant temperature warning light
should come on for a few seconds,
then go off. If these warning lights
do not go off, have a Yamaha dealer
check their electrical circuits.2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the front
or rear brake.NOTE:
If the engine does not start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-serve the battery. Do not crank the en-
gine more than 5 seconds on any one
attempt. If the engine does not start with
the starter motor, try using the
kickstarter.
ECA11040
cCFor maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!

specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart. Coolant
EAUT1522
To check the coolant level
The coolant level should be checked as
follows before each ride. In addition, the
coolant must be changed at the inter-
vals specified in the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart.
1. Place the vehicle on the
centerstand.NOTE:●
The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.
●
Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to the
side can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.

●
If coolant is not available, use
distilled water or soft tap water
instead. Do not use hard water
or salt water since it is harmful
to the engine.
● ●● ●
●
If water has been used instead
of coolant, replace it with cool-
ant as soon as possible, other-
wise the cooling system will not
be protected against frost and
corrosion.
● ●● ●
●
If water has been added to the
coolant, have a Yamaha dealer
check the antifreeze content of
the coolant as soon as possible,otherwise the effectiveness of
the coolant will be reduced.
