OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS is pushed, and they should go off when the start switch is released. If the oil level warning light flickers or remains on after starting, immediately stop the engine, and then check the engine oil level and the vehicle for oil leakage. If necessary, add engine oil, and then check the warning light again. If the warning light does not come on when pushing the start switch, or if it does not go off after starting with sufficient engine oil, have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit. If the fuel level warning light remains on after starting, stop the engine, and then check the fuel level. If necessary, refuel as soon as possible, and then check the warning light again. If the warning light does not come on when pushing the start switch, or if it does not go off after starting with sufficient fuel, have a Yamaha dealer check the electrical circuit. 5. After starting the engine, move the starter (choke) back halfway. ECA11130 (choke) turned on, then about 2.5 minutes with the starter (choke) in the halfway position. G CAUTION: For maximum engine life, always warm the engine up before starting off. Never accelerate hard when the engine is cold! 6. When the engine is warm, turn the starter (choke) off. NOTE: The engine is warm when it responds normally to the throttle with the starter (choke) turned off. To avoid the possibility of excessive exhaust emissions, never leave the starter (choke) on longer than necessary. The time necessary for starter (choke) use depends upon the ambient temperature. Temperatures above 10 °C (50 °F) require about 7 seconds of starter (choke) use and temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) require about 35 seconds with the starter 5 G 5-2

off when the start switch is re-
leased.
●
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 warning light
does not come on when push-
ing the start switch, or if it does
not go off after starting with suf-
ficient
engine
oil,
have
a
Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
●
If the fuel level warning light re-
mains on after starting, stop the
engine, and then check the fuel
level. If necessary, refuel as
soon as possible, and then
check the warning light again. If
the warning light does not come
on when pushing the start
switch, or if it does not go off af-
ter starting with sufficient fuel,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.

After starting the engine, move the
starter (choke) back halfway.
CAUTION:
ECA11130
For maximum engine life, always
warm the engine up before starting
off. Never accelerate hard when the
engine is cold!
6.
When the engine is warm, turn the
starter (choke) off.
NOTE:
The engine is warm when it responds
normally to the throttle with the starter
(choke) turned off. To avoid the possi-
bility of excessive exhaust emissions,
never leave the starter (choke) on long-
er than necessary. The time necessary
for starter (choke) use depends upon
the ambient temperature. Tempera-
tures above 10 °C (50 °F) require about
7 seconds of starter (choke) use and
temperatures below 10 °C (50 °F) re-
quire about 35 seconds with the starter
(choke) turned on, then about 2.5 min-
utes with the starter (choke) in the half-
way position.
