Grip warmer adjusting knob This vehicle is equipped with grip
warmers, which can only be used when
the engine is running.
Use the grip warmer adjusting knob, lo-
cated near the accessory box, to adjust
the grip warmer temperature.
The grip warmer adjusting knob can be
set between the “LO” and “HI” posi-
tions. To raise the temperature, turn the
knob in direction (a). To lower the tem-
perature, turn the knob in direction (b).
Align the“” mark on the knob with
“OFF” to turn the grip warmers off.
NOTE:When the vehicle is stopped or travel-
ing at extremely low speeds (e.g., in
traffic jams), the grip warmer tempera-
ture is lower than when traveling athigher speeds.CAUTION:
ECA15520


Be sure to wear gloves when us-
ing the grip warmers.


If the ambient temperature is 20
°C (68 °F) or higher, do not set
the grip warmer adjusting knob
to the “HI” position.


If the handlebar grip or throttle
grip becomes worn or damaged,
stop using the grip warmers andreplace the grips.WARNING
EWA14510
Do not turn the grip warmer knobwhile the vehicle is moving.
EAU15301
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 described

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.
EAU45310
NOTE:This model is equipped with a lean an-
gle sensor to stop the engine in case of
a turnover. To start the engine after a
turnover, be sure to turn the main
switch to “OFF” and then to “ON”. Fail-
ing to do so will prevent the engine from
starting even though the engine willcrank when pushing the start switch.
EAU40332
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 3-33.


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“”.

Troubleshooting Although Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-
or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.
