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 lossof control.
EAU39354
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 sid-
estand up.WARNING
EWA10290


Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure
described on page 3-23.


Never ride with the sidestanddown.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “”.

level and the vehicle for oil leak-
age. If necessary, add engine
oil, and then check the warning
light again.


If the coolant temperature warn-
ing light flickers or remains on
after starting, immediately stop
the engine, and then check the
coolant level and the vehicle for
coolant leakage. If necessary,
add coolant, and then check the
warning light again.


If the engine trouble warning
light flashes or remains on after
starting, immediately stop the
engine, and have a Yamaha
dealer check the cause.

Coolant The coolant level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the cool-
ant must be changed at the intervals
specified in the periodic maintenance
and lubrication chart.
EAU39083
To check the coolant level
1. Place the vehicle on a level sur-
face and hold it in an upright posi-
tion.NOTE:

The coolant level must be checked
on a cold engine since the level
varies with engine temperature.


Make sure that the vehicle is posi-
tioned straight up when checking
the coolant level. A slight tilt to theside can result in a false reading.
2. Check the coolant level in the cool-
ant reservoir.
NOTE:The coolant should be between theminimum and maximum level marks.3. If the coolant is at or below the
minimum level mark, remove pan-
el A. (See page 6-6.)
4. Remove the reservoir cap, add
coolant to the maximum level
mark, and then install the reservoir
cap.
