“” indicators and warning
light
Engine trouble indicator “” andwarning lightThis indicator is displayed and the
warning light comes on or flashes when
an electrical circuit monitoring the en-
gine is defective. When this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the self-
diagnosis system. (See page 3-7 for an
explanation of the self-diagnosis de-
vice.)YCC-S indicator “” and warning
lightThis indicator is displayed and the
warning light comes on if there is a mal-
function in the YCC-S. If this occurs:
YCC-S is disabled, so it will be im-
possible to shift out of the gear you
are in
the clutch may stay engaged, so a
shuddering sensation may be felt
as you come to a stop
Stop the vehicle when it is safe to do so,
and park it away from traffic. Have a
Yamaha dealer check the YCC-S.
NOTE:In order to be able to move the vehicle
after it has stopped, if shifting is impos-
sible using the hand shift lever and shift
pedal, proceed as follows:
Place the vehicle on the centerstand,
then while rotating the rear wheel, push
the shift pedal rod and pivot forward un-
til the transmission is in the neutral po-sition.
The electrical circuit of the indicators
and warning light can be checked by

If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the system as soon as possible.
(See page 3-18.)
WARNING
EWA10081
If the ABS warning light comes on or
flashes while riding, the brake sys-
tem reverts to conventional braking.
Therefore, be careful not to cause
the wheels to lock during emergen-
cy braking. If the warning light
comes on or flashes while riding,
have a Yamaha dealer check thebrake system as soon as possible.The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”.
If the warning light does not come on or
remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
NOTE:This warning light will come on when
the key is turned to “ON” and the start
switch “” is pushed, but this does notindicate a malfunction.

Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.If any of those circuits are defective, the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code (e.g., 11, 12, 13).
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
CAUTION:

If the multi-function display indi-
cates an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine dam-age.

Sidestand The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.NOTE:The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See further down for an explanation ofthe ignition circuit cut-off system.)
WARNING
EWA10240
The vehicle 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
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly as describedbelow and have a Yamaha dealer re-
pair it if it does not function proper-
ly.
EAU40521
Ignition circuit cut-off system The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch and brake
light switches) has the following func-
tions.
It prevents starting when the side-
stand is up, but neither brake is ap-
plied.
It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sidestand
is still down.
It cuts the running engine when the
sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system according
to the following procedure.WARNING
EWA10260
The vehicle must be placed on
the centerstand during this in-
spection.
If a malfunction is noted, have a
Yamaha dealer check the sys-tem before riding.
