Self-diagnosis devices
1. Engine trouble warning light “U”
2. Immobilizer system indicator light “ ”
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical
circuits.
If any of those circuits are defective,
the engine trouble warning light will
start flashing. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobi-
lizer system.
If any of the immobilizer system cir-
cuits are defective, the immobilizer
system indicator light will start flash-
ing.
If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
TIP
If the indicator light slowly flashes five
times, and then quickly flashes two
times repeatedly, this error could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
TIP
Make sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobiliz-
er key on the same key ring! Immobi-
lizer system keys may cause signal in-
terference, which may prevent the
engine from 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-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the
standard keys re-registered.
If the immobilizer system indicator
light continues to flash, have a Yama-
ha dealer check the vehicle.

tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to
the original position, remove it,
and then close the lock cover.

EWA11091
WARNING0
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.
EAU13221
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline
in the tank.
EWA10881
WARNING0
Gasoline and gasoline vapors are
extremely flammable. To avoid fires
and explosions and to reduce the
risk of injury when refueling, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en-
gine and be sure that no one is
sitting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the
vicinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When
refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank
filler hole. Stop filling when the fu-
el reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine
or the sun can cause fuel to spill
out of the fuel tank.
1. Fuel tank filler tube
2. Fuel level
3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE:Immediately wipe
off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plas-
tic parts.
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel
tank cap.
EWA15151
WARNING0
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swal-
low some gasoline or inhale a lot of
gasoline vapor, or get some gaso-
line in your eyes, see your doctor
immediately. If gasoline spills on

Fuel tank breather hose
1. Fuel tank breather hose
2. Clamp
Before operating the motorcycle:
●Check the fuel tank breather hose
connection.
●Check the fuel tank breather hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if damaged.
●Make sure that the fuel tank
breather hose is not blocked, and
clean it if necessary.
ECA11400
NOTICE
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
gasoline with a research octane num-
ber of 95 or higher. If knocking (or
pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of a
different brand. Use of unleaded fuel
will extend spark plug life and reduce
maintenance costs.
Recommended fuel:
PREMIUM UNLEADED
GASOLINE ONLY
Fuel tank capacity:
23.0 L (6.07 US gal) (5.05 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount (when the fuel
level warning light comes on):
6.7 L (1.77 US gal) (1.47 Imp.gal)
EAU13433
Catalytic converter
This model is equipped with a catalyt-
ic converter in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
WARNING0
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
●Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
●Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
●Make sure that the exhaust
system has cooled down be-
fore doing any maintenance
work.
●Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.
