do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes. (See page 8-154.)
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the key to “ON”. If the warning
light does not come on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.NOTICE

The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the load
to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.
