WARNING
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer
regarding any control or func-
tion that you do not thoroughly
understand.
Never start the engine or ope-
rate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of cons-
ciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
For safety, always start the
engine with the centerstand
down.
When the centerstand is down
and the engine is idling, keep
your hands and feet away from
the rear wheel.

3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the
front or rear brake.
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
engine more than 10 seconds on any
one attempt.

Always keep the battery char-
ged. Storing a discharged bat-
tery can cause permanent bat-
tery damage.

voltage) battery charger is
required. Using a conventional
battery charger will damage
the battery. If you do not have
access to a sealed-type (MF)
battery charger, have a Yamaha
dealer charge your battery.
