e” and turn off
all electrical circuits.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage.

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

WARNING
Headlight bulbs get very hot. The-
refore, keep flammable products
away from a lit headlight bulb, and
do not touch the bulb until it has
cooled down.
3. Place a new headlight bulb into
position, and then secure it with
the bulb holder.

CAUTION:
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 adver-
sely affected. Thoroughly clean off
any dirt and fingerprints on the
headlight bulb using a cloth mois-
tened with alcohol or thinner.
4. Connect the headlight lead con-
nectors, and then install the bulb
cover.
5. Have a Yamaha dealer adjust the
headlight beam if necessary.
