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
turning the key to “ON”. If the indicators

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.

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 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-

CAUTION:
ECA11800
Do not place heat-sensitive items in
the accessory box. The accessory
box gets extremely hot especiallywhen the engine is running or is hot.
WARNING
EWA11421
Do not exceed the load limit of
0.3 kg (0.66 lb) for the accessory
box.
Do not exceed the maximum
load of 208 kg (459 lb) for the ve-hicle.
EAU39610
Adjusting the headlight
beams The headlight adjusting knobs are used
to raise or lower the height of the head-
light beams. It may be necessary to ad-
just the headlight beams to increase
visibility and help prevent blinding on-
coming drivers when carrying more or
less load than usual. Obey local laws
and regulations when adjusting the
headlights.
To raise the headlight beams, turn the
knobs in direction (a). To lower the
headlight beams, turn the knobs in di-
rection (b).
EAU39641
Handlebar position The handlebars can be adjusted to one
of three positions to suit the rider’s pref-
erence. Have a Yamaha dealer adjust
the position of the handlebars.

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.

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 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:
ECA15510
The following warning lights and in-
dicator light and indicators should
come on for a few seconds, then go
off.
Oil level warning light
Engine trouble/YCC-S indica-
tors and warning light
Immobilizer system indicator
light
ABS warning light
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.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.
