30 Ignition coil Actuates the ignition coil five
times at one-second inter-
vals.
“WARNING” on the Yamaha
diagnostic tool blinks five
times when the ignition coil is
actuated.Check that a spark is gener-
ated five times.
• Connect an ignition
checker.

times at one-second inter-
vals.
“WARNING” on the Yamaha
diagnostic tool blinks five
times when the radiator fan
motor relay is actuated.TIP: Before performing
this operation, be sure to
disconnect the fuel pump
coupler.
Check that injector is actu-
ated five times by listening
for the operating sound.
51 Radiator fan motor relay Actuates the radiator fan mo-
tor relay five times at five-sec-
ond intervals.
“WARNING” on the Yamaha
diagnostic tool blinks five
times when the radiator fan
motor relay is actuated.Check that the radiator fan
motor relay is actuated five
times by listening for the op-
erating sound.

five times at five-second in-
tervals.
“WARNING” on the Yamaha
diagnostic tool blinks five
times when the headlight re-
lay is actuated.Check that the headlight re-
lay is actuated five times by
