Sidestand
This model is equipped with an ignition
circuit cut-off system. The motorcycle
must not be ridden when the sidestand
is down. The sidestand is located on
the left side of the frame. (Refer to
page 5-1 for an explanation of this sys-
tem.)
EW000044
This motorcycle must not be operat-
ed with the sidestand in the down
position. If the stand is not properly
retracted, it could contact the
ground and distract the operator, re-
sulting in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha has designed into this mo-
torcycle a lockout system to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of retracting the sidestand.
Please check carefully the operating
instructions listed below and if there
is any indication of a malfunction,
return the motorcycle to a Yamaha
dealer immediately for repair.
