the sidestand down, or if the sid-
estand 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 con-
trol. Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-
off system has been designed to
assist the operator in fulfilling the
responsibility of raising the sides-
tand before starting off. Therefore,
check this system regularly and
have a Yamaha dealer repair it if it
does not function properly.
