Install top cowling

1. Be sure that the cowling lock lever is re-
leased.
2. Be sure that the rubber seal is seated all
the way around the top cowling.
3. Place the top cowling on the bottom
cowling.
4. Check to be sure the rubber seal is seat-
ed correctly between the top cowling
and the bottom cowling.
5. Move the lever to lock the cowling as
shown. NOTICE: If the top cowling is
not installed correctly, water spray
under the top cowling can damage
the engine, or the top cowling can
blow off at high speeds.
After installing, check the fitting of the top
cowling by pushing it with both hands. If the
top cowling is loose, have it repaired by your
Yamaha dealer.
