Replacing the fuse
The fuse holder is located under the seat. (See
page 4-10.)
If the fuse is blown, replace it as follows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off all electrical
circuits.
NOTICE
ECB00640
To prevent accidental short-circuiting, turn off
the main switch when checking or replacing a
fuse.
2. Remove the blown fuse, and then install a
new fuse of the specified amperage.
WARNING
EWB02171
Always use a fuse of the specified rating, and
never use a substitute object in place of the
proper fuse. An improper fuse or a substitute
object can cause damage to the electrical sys-
tem, which could lead to a fire.
3. Turn the key to “ON” and turn on the electrical
circuits to check if the devices operate.
4. If the fuse immediately blows again, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical system.
