nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If any of those circuits are defective, the
engine trouble warning light will come
on, and then the odometer/tripme-
ter/clock display will indicate a two-digit
error code.
This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the immobilizer
system.If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
display will indicate a two-digit error
code.
NOTE:If the display indicates error code 52,
this could be caused by transponder in-
terference. If this error code appears,try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.NOTE:Make sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the enginefrom starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registeringkey and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
If the odometer/tripmeter/clock display
indicates any error codes, note the
code number, and then have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
CAUTION:

Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,as well as to the exhaust system.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.

EXUP system This model is equipped with Yamaha’s
EXUP (EXhaust Ultimate Power valve)
system. This system boosts engine
power by means of a valve that regu-
lates the diameter of the exhaust pipe.
The EXUP system valve is constantly
adjusted in accordance with the engine
speed by a computer-controlled servo-
motor.CAUTION:
ECA10191
The EXUP system has been set
and extensively tested at the
Yamaha factory. Changing
these settings without sufficient
technical knowledge may result
in poor performance of or dam-
age to the engine.
If the EXUP system cannot be
heard when the main switch is
turned on, have a Yamaha deal-er check it.

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

(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.
