minutes. (Failure to do this will shorten
engine life.)

CHECKING POINTS AFTER
STARTING ENGINE
After the engine has warmed up, check
that the engine idling speed is stable.
Check that the low oil pressure warning
indicator light is off. (Refer to WARNING
SYSTEM section.)
Check for a steady flow of water from the
cooling-water pilot hole.
CAUTION:
@
If water is not flowing out of the pilot
hole at all times while the engine is
running, do not continue to run the
engine. Overheating and serious dam-
age could occur. Stop the engine and
check if the water inlet on the lower
casing is blocked. If the problem can-
not be found and corrected, consult
your Yamaha dealer.
If the cooling passage is frozen, it may
take awhile for water to start flowing
out of the pilot hole.
