1) Checking oil indicator light for breakage
This oil indicator light is kept on for 1.4 seconds immediately after the main switch is turned on,
thereby checking the bulb for breakage.
2) In case of meter pulse failure
Iftraveldistance signals are not detected during running, the oilindicatorlight flashes and gives a
warning of meter signal failure.
This circuit may be activated if the engine is accelerated without load with the mainestand put up.

that have been “mated” through normal
wear. Mated parts must always be reused
or replaced as an assembly.
5. During machine disassembly, clean all
partsandplace them in trays in the order of
disassembly. This will speed up assembly
and allow for the correct installation of all
parts.
6. Keepallpartsaway from any source of fire.
EB101010
REPLACEMENT PARTS
1. Use only genuine Yamaha parts for all re-
placements. Use oil and grease recom-
mended by Yamaha for all lubrication jobs.
Otherbrandsmaybesimilarinfunctionand
appearance, but inferior in quality.
