following cycle will be repeated un-
til the malfunction is corrected: The
oil level warning light will flash ten
times, then go off for 2.5 seconds.
If this occurs, have a Yamahadealer check the vehicle.

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.
EAU43120

If the oil level warning light flick-
ers or remains on after starting,
immediately stop the engine,
and then check the engine oil
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.
If the ABS warning light flashes
or remains on after starting, the

tor light should come on when
the key is turned to “ON”, and
then go off after a few seconds.
If the indicator light does not
come on, or does not go off, or
if it flashes and the display indi-
cates a two-digit error code,
have a Yamaha dealer check theelectrical circuit.
