a slope or during sudden acceleration
or deceleration, but this is not a mal-
function.
EAU11370
Fuel level warning symbol “”
This fuel level warning symbol starts
flashing when the fuel level drops be-
low approximately 3.5 L (0.92 US gal)
(0.77 Imp.gal) .
EAU11500
Engine trouble warning light “”
This warning light comes on or flashes
when an electrical circuit monitoring the
engine is defective. When this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
self-diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. If the warning light does not come
on for a few seconds, then go off, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
EAU32990
Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the key
to “ON”.
If the indicator light does not come on
for a few seconds, then go off, have aYamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
When the key is turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.
NOTE:

This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobiliz-
er system. If the immobilizer system is
defective, the indicator light will start
flashing a pattern and the odometer/
tripmeter will display a 2-digit code
when the key is turned to “ON”. When
this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the self-diagnosis system. How-
ever, if the indicator light slowly flashes
five times, and then quickly flashes two
times repeatedly, error code 52 will be
displayed. This error could be caused
by signal interference. If this occurs, try
the following.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15950
WARNING

EWA10270

Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.

Never 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.

Before 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.
EAU16380
Starting the engine
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:

The transmission is in the neutral
position.

The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the sid-
estand up.
WARNING

EWA10290

Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure
described on page 3-19.

Never ride with the sidestand
down.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “ ”.
CAUTION:

ECA11310
The oil level warning light and en-
gine trouble warning light should
come on for a few seconds, then gooff. If a warning light does not go off,
see page 3-3 for the corresponding
warning light circuit check.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position.
NOTE:

When the transmission is in the neutral
position, the neutral indicator light
should be on, otherwise have a Yama-
ha dealer check the electrical circuit.
3. 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 en-
gine more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt.
CAUTION:
