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.

Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING
EWA10271
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accidentor injury.

TIPThis model is equipped with:
a lean angle sensor to stop the en-
gine in case of a turnover. In this
case, the multi-function display in-
dicates error code 30, but this is
not a malfunction. Turn the key to
“OFF” and then to “ON” to clear the
error code. Failing to do so will pre-
vent the engine from starting even
though the engine will crank when
pushing the start switch.
an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. In this case,
the multi-function display indicates
error code 70, but this is not a mal-
function. Push the start switch to
clear the error code and to restartthe engine.
EAU40335
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.
See page 3-34 for more informa-
tion.WARNING
EWA14541
Always apply the front or rear brake
while the main switch is in the “ON”
position and the transmission is in
gear, otherwise the rear wheel willmove freely.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch is
set to“”.
The following warning lights, indi-
cator light and indicators should
come on for a few seconds, then
go off.

NOTICE
ECA11831
If a warning or indicator light does
not go off, see page 3-4 for the corre-
sponding warning and indicatorlight circuit check.
2. Shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position (see page 5-2) with
the front or rear brake applied. The
neutral indicator light should come
on. If not, ask a Yamaha dealer to
check the electrical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch. NOTICE: For maxi-
mum engine life, never acceler-
ate hard when the engine is
cold!
[ECA11041]
If the engine fails to start, release
the start switch, wait a few sec-
onds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short
as possible to preserve the bat-tery. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on any one at-
tempt.

5The gears can be shifted using either
the shift pedal or the hand shift lever.
The hand shift lever has to be enabled
by pressing the hand shift control
switch prior to being used. Refer to
page 3-17 for the shift pedal operation,
and to pages 3-16 and 3-18 for the
hand shift lever operation.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.
TIPTo shift the transmission into the neu-
tral position, press the shift pedal down
repeatedly, or push the“” side of the
hand shift lever repeatedly until theneutral indicator light comes on.NOTICE
ECA15530
Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the vehicle for long distanc-
es. The transmission is properly
lubricated only when the engine
is running. Inadequate lubrica-
tion may damage the transmis-
sion.
Always return the throttle to the
closed position while changing
gears to avoid damaging the en-
gine, transmission, and drive
train, which are not designed to
withstand the shock of forcedshifting.
TIP
When shifting from neutral to first
gear, the engine speed must be
lower than approximately 1300
r/min and the sidestand must be
up.
Shifting up is impossible if the en-
gine speed is too low.
Shifting down is impossible if theengine speed is too high.
EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.
Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).

Checking the spark plugs The spark plugs are important engine
components, which should be checked
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha
dealer. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,
they should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plugs can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the cen-
ter electrode of each spark plug should
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color
when the vehicle is ridden normally),
and all spark plugs installed in the en-
gine should have the same color. If any
spark plug shows a distinctly different
color, the engine could be operating im-
properly. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or other
deposits, it should be replaced.Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a
wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
