ABS warning light “”
If this warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the ABS may be defective.
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.

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 a
Yamaha 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.This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system. (See page 3-7 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)

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 lossof control.
EAU40331
Starting the engine In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in the neutral
position whether the sidestand is
up or down.
The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in gear and
the sidestand is up.WARNING
EWA14540
Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure
described on page 3-32.
Always apply the front or rear
brake while the main switch is in
the “ON” position and the trans-
mission is in gear, otherwise the
rear wheel will move freely.
Never ride with the sidestanddown.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “”.
CAUTION:

The following warning lights and in-
dicator light and indicators should
come on for a few seconds, then go

If a warning or indicator light, or an
indicator does not go off, see page
3-4 for the corresponding circuit
check.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position with the front or rear
brake applied.NOTE:When the transmission is in the neutral
position, the neutral indicator light
should be on, otherwise have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-cuit.

6 Engine overheating
WARNING
EWA10400
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine and radiator are hot. Scalding hot fluid and steam may be
blown out under pressure, which could cause serious injury. Be sure to wait until the engine has cooled.
After removing the radiator cap retaining bolt, place a thick rag, like a towel, over the radiator cap, and then
slowly rotate the cap counterclockwise to the detent to allow any residual pressure to escape. When the hissingsound has stopped, press down on the cap while turning it counterclockwise, and then remove the cap.
NOTE:If coolant is not available, tap water can be temporarily used instead, provided that it is changed to the recommended coolantas soon as possible.
Wait until the
engine has cooled.
Check the coolant level in the
reservoir and radiator.
The coolant level
is OK.The coolant level is low.
Check the cooling system
for leakage.
Have a Yamaha dealer checkand repair the cooling system.Add coolant. (See NOTE.)
Start the engine. If the engine overheats again,
have a
Yamaha dealer check
and repair the cooling system.
There is
leakage.
There is
no leakage.
