YPVSThis model is equipped with the
YPVS (Yamaha Power Valve
System). This system boosts engine
performance and efficiency by means
of a variable valve in the exhaust
port. The YPVS valve is constantly
adjusted in accordance with the
engine speed by a computer-con-
trolled servomotor.
Since the YPVS is an important part
of the engine and requires very
sophisticated adjustment, have a
Yamaha dealer, who has the neces-
sary professional knowledge and
experience, make this adjustment.
EC000023
cCThe YPVS has been set and exten-
sively tested at the Yamaha facto-
ry. Changing these settings with-
out sufficient technical knowledge
may result in poor performance of
or damage to the engine.
YPVS operation noises can be heard
in the following instances:
8When the key is turned to ÒONÓ
and the engine is started.
8When the engine stalls with the
key in the ÒONÓ position.
EC000024
cCIf the YPVS does not operate, have
a Yamaha dealer check it.

SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the side-
stand or lower it with your foot while
holding the motorcycle upright.NOTE:
The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system,
which cuts the ignition in certain situ-
ations. (See further down for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)

w8Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thorough-
ly understand.
8Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
8Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised com-
pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.
EAU00381
Starting a cold engineIn order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
8The transmission is in the neutral
position.
8The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.
EW000054
w8Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system
according to the procedure
described on page 3-17.
8Never ride with the sidestand
down.1.Turn the fuel cock lever to ÒONÓ.
2.Turn the key to ÒONÓ and make
sure that the engine stop switch
is set to Ò#Ó.3.Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.
NOTE:
When the transmission is in the neu-
tral position, the neutral indicator light
should be on, otherwise have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.4.Turn the starter (choke) on and
completely close the throttle.
(See page 3-12 for starter
(choke) operation.)
5.Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.NOTE:
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any
one attempt.

9To charge the battery
Have a Yamaha dealer charge the
battery as soon as possible if it
seems to have discharged. Keep in
mind that the battery tends to dis-
charge more quickly if the motorcycle
is equipped with optional electrical
accessories.
To store the battery
1.If the motorcycle will not be used
for more than one month,
remove the battery, fully charge
it, and then place it in a cool, dry
place.
2.If the battery will be stored for
more than two months, check it
at least once a month and fully
charge it if necessary.
3.Fully charge the battery before
installation.
4.After installation, make sure that
the battery leads are properly
connected to the battery termi-
nals.
