INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
EW000044WARNING0
The motorcycle must not be ridden
with the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand cannot be properly moved up (or
does not stay up), otherwise the side-
stand could contact the ground and
distract the operator, resulting in a pos-
sible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off sys-
tem has been designed to assist the
operator in fulfilling the responsibility
of raising the sidestand before starting
off. Therefore, check this system regu-
larly as described below and have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
EAU03720
Ignition circuit cut-off system
The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch, clutch switch
and neutral switch) has the following func-
tions.
•It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the sidestand
is up, but the clutch lever is not
pulled.
•It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the clutch lever
is pulled, but the sidestand is still
down.
•It cuts the running engine when the
transmission is in gear and the side-
stand is moved down.Periodically check the operation of the ig-
nition circuit cut-off system according to
the following procedure.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU00373WARNING0
•Become thoroughly familiar with
all operating controls and their
functions before riding. Consult a
Yamaha dealer regarding any con-
trol or function that you do not
thoroughly understand.
•Never start the engine or operate it
in a closed area for any length of
time. Exhaust fumes are poiso-
nous, and inhaling them can cause
loss of consciousness and death
within a short time. Always make
sure that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
•Before starting out, make sure that
the sidestand is up. If the side-
stand is not raised completely, it
could contact the ground and dis-
tract the operator, resulting in a
possible loss of control.
EAU03818

tem to enable starting, one of the following
conditions must be met:
•The transmission is in the neutral po-
sition.
•The transmission is in gear with the
clutch lever pulled and the sidestand
up.
EW000054WARNING0
