Replacing the fuse The fuse is located inside the battery
coupler. (See page 7-23.)
If the fuse is blown, replace it as fol-
lows.
1. Turn the key to “OFF” and turn off
all electrical circuits.
2. Disconnect the battery coupler.
3. 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 to
avoid causing extensive dam-
age to the electrical system and
possibly a fire.
[EWA15131]
4. Connect the battery coupler.
5. Turn the key to “ON”.
6. If the fuse immediately blows
again, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical system.
