ECA11821NOTICE
●DO NOT \bOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONT\fCT
YOUR DE\f\bER IMMEDI\fTE\bY
IF IT IS \bOST! If the code re-reg-
istering key is lost, registering
new codes in the standard keys
is impossible. The standard keys
can still be used to start the ve-
hicle, however if code re-regis-
tering is required (i.e., if a new
standard key is made or all keys
are lost) the entire immobilizer
system must be replaced.
Therefore, it is highly recom-
mended to use either standard key and keep the code re-regis-
tering key in a safe place.
●Do not submerse any key in water.
●Do not expose any key to exces-
sively high temperatures.
●Do not place any key close to
magnets (this includes, but not
limited to, products such as
speakers, etc.).
●Do not place items that transmit
electrical signals close to any key.
●Do not place heavy items on
any key.
●Do not grind any key or alter its
shape.
●Do not disassemble the plastic
part of any key.
●Do not put two keys of any immobi-
lizer system on the same key ring.
●Keep the standard keys as well
as keys of other immobilizer
systems away from this vehi-
cle's code re-registering key.
●Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal inter-
ference.

\bse only unleaded gasoline. The use
o\f 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 en\fine has been \besi\f-
ne\b to use premium unlea\be\b \fasoli-
ne with a research octane number of
95 or hi\fher. If knockin\f (or pin\fin\f)
occurs, use a \fasoline of a \bifferent

2. Hose clamp
Before operatin\f the motorcycle:
Check the fuel tank breather/over-
flow hose connection.
Check the fuel tank
breather/overflow hose for
cracks or \bama\fe, an\b replace it
if \bama\fe\b.
Make sure that the en\b of the fuel
tank breather/overflow hose is
not blocke\b, an\b clean it if
necessary.
Make sure that the en\b of the fuel

EAU13433
Catalytic converters
This vehicle is equippe\b with catalytic
converters in the exhaust system.
EWA10862
The exhaust system is hot a\fter
operation. 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\fo-
re doing any maintenance
work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a \few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up o\f
heat.
