Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main
switch as they may cause sig-
nal interference.EAU10472
Main switch/steering lock
The main switch/steering lock con-
trols the ignition and lighting systems,
and is used to lock the steering. The
various positions are described
below.
TIP
Be sure to use the standard key
(black bow) for regular use of the
vehicle. To minimize the risk of losing
the code re-registering key (red bow),
keep it in a safe place and only use it
for code re-registering.

EWA11350
When the ABS warning light comes
on or flashes while riding, the brake
system reverts to conventional bra-
king. Therefore, be careful not to
cause the wheel to lock during
emergency braking.
TIP
The ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.

Immobilizer system indicator light
The electrical circuit of the indicator
light can be checked by turning the
key to “ON”. The indicator light
should come on for a few seconds,
and then go off.
If the indicator light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to
“ON”, or if the indicator light remains
on, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.When the key is tur-
ned to “OFF” and 30 seconds havepassed, the indicator light will start
flashing indicating the immobilizer
system is enabled. After 24 hours
have passed, the indicator light will
stop flashing, however the immobili-
zer system is still enabled.
The self-diagnosis device also
detects problems in the immobilizer
system circuits. (See page 3-6 for an
explanation of the self-diagnosis
device.)

brake to crank the engine with the
starter. See page 5-1 for starting ins-
tructions prior to starting the engine.
EAU44710
The engine trouble warning light and
ABS warning light (ABS model only)
will come on when the key is turned
to “ON” and the start switch is pus-
hed, but this does not indicate a mal-
function.
EAU12733
Hazard switch “ ”
With the key in the “ON” or “ ”
position, use this switch to turn on the
hazard lights (simultaneous flashing
of all turn signal lights).
The hazard lights are used in case of
an emergency or to warn other drivers
when your vehicle is stopped where it
might be a traffic hazard.

EAU12995
ABS (for ABS models)
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic
control system, which acts on the
front and rear brakes independently.
The ABS securely controls wheel loc-
kup during emergency braking on
changing road surfaces and under
various weather conditions, thereby
maximizing tire adhesion and perfor-
mance while providing a smooth bra-
king action. The ABS is monitored by
an ECU, which will have recourse to
manual braking if a malfunction
occurs.
EWA10090
The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance
may be longer with than wit-
hout the ABS. Therefore,
always keep a sufficient distan-
ce to the vehicle ahead to
match the riding speed.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test for a few seconds each
time the vehicle first starts off
after the key was turned to “ON”.
During this test, a “clicking” noi-
se can be heard from the front of
the vehicle, and if either brake
lever is even slightly applied, a
vibration can be felt at the lever,
but these do not indicate a mal-
function.
When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be
felt at the brake levers, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience
the pulsating at the brake levers
when the ABS is operating.
However, special tools are requi-
red, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.WARNING

2. Fuel tank cap
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Be sure the match mark is facing
forward, and then push the fuel
tank cap into the original posi-
tion.
1. Match marks
2. Turn the key counterclockwise
and remove it.
3. Close the fuel tank cover.
EWA11091
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
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 engi-
ne and be sure that no one is sit-
ting 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
fuel 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.

EWA10240
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.
