WARNING
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand 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. Yama-
ha’s ignition circuit cut-off system
has been designed to assist the
operator in fulfilling the responsibi-
lity of raising the sidestand before
starting off. Therefore, check this
system regularly as described
below and have a Yamaha dealer
repair it if it does not function pro-
perly.
EAU45051
Ignition circuit cut-off
system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the following
functions.
●It prevents starting when the
sidestand is up, but neither brake
is applied.
●It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sides-
tand 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.
