indicator goes off after starting the

 

engine.

8If the low oil pressure indicator does not go off after the engine starts, stop the engine. Otherwise, serious engine damage could occur. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. If the cause for the low oil pressure warning indicator cannot be found, consult your Yamaha dealer.

8A continuous flow of water from the pilot hole shows that the water pump is pumping water through the cooling passages. 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 seri- ous damage could occur. Stop the engine and check to see if the water inlet on the lower casing is blocked. If the problem cannot be found and cor- rected, consult your Yamaha dealer.
