If the engine fails to start, release
the start switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short
as possible to preserve the bat-
tery. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on any one at-
tempt.
The oil level warning light
should come on when the key is
turned to "ON", and then go off
after two to three seconds. If the
oil level warning light flickers or
remains on after starting, imme-
diately 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 turning the
key to "ON", or if it does not go
off after starting the engine with
sufficient engine oil, have a
Yamaha dealer check the elec-
trical circuit.
