Replacing the fuses The main fuse, the fuel injection system
fuse, and the fuse box, which contains
the fuses for the individual circuits, are
located under the rider seat. (See page
3-16.)
If a fuse is blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
the electrical circuit in question.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then
install a new fuse of the specified
amperage. WARNING! Do not
use a fuse of a higher amperage
rating than recommended toavoid causing extensive dam-
age to the electrical system and
possibly a fire.
 [EWA15131]
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on
the electrical circuit in question to
check if the device operates.
4. If the fuse immediately blows
again, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical system.
