Each full-throttle acceleration sequence
should be followed with a substantial rest pe-
riod for the engine, by cruising at lower r/min
so the engine can rid itself of the temporary
build-up of heat. If any abnormality is noticed
during this period, consult a Yamaha dealer.
0–10 hours:
Avoid continuous operation above half-throt-
tle. Allow a cooling-off period of 5 to 10 min-
utes after every hour of operation. Vary the
speed of the vehicle from time to time. Do not
operate it at one set throttle position.
10–20 hours:
Avoid prolonged operation above three-quar-
ter throttle.
After break-in:
The vehicle may now be operated normally.
5B410007Starting the engine1. Turn the key to “ON”.NOTICEThe coolant temperature warning light and
engine trouble warning light should come
on, then go off.
If a warning light does not go off, see pag-
es 4-4–4-5 for the corresponding warning
light circuit check.2. Apply the brake pedal.
3. Shift the drive select lever into the neutral position.
●
When the drive select lever is in the
neutral position, the neutral indicator
light should come on. If the neutral in-
dicator light does not come on, ask a
Yamaha dealer to inspect the electric circuit.
