OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15950
EWA10270
WARNING0
●Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.
●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.
●Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised com-
pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.

EAUB1570
Starting the engine
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
●The transmission is in the neutral
position.
●The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.
EWA10290
WARNING0

Engine overheatingEWA10400
WARNING0
●Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
●After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, a\
nd then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hiss-
ing sound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.

NOTE:
If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended
coolant as soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.Check the coolant level
in the reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling
system for leakage.
The coolant level
is OK.
There is
leakage.
There is no
leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again, have
a Yamaha dealer check and repair the cooling system.
Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
