Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if an elec-
trical circuit monitoring the engine is not
working correctly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.TIPThis warning light will come on when
the key is turned to “ON” and the start
switch is pushed, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.

ABS warning light “ ” (for ABS
models) NOTICE
ECA10831
If the ABS warning light comes on or
flashes while riding, the ABS may
not work correctly. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.See page 3-13 for an explanation of the
ABS.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by setting the engine
stop switch to “ ” and turning the key
to “ON”. The warning light should come
on for a few seconds, and then go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have

cause the wheel to lock during emer-
gency braking.
TIPThe 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 turned to “OFF” and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will start flashing indicating the im-
mobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits. (See page 3-9 for an explanation
of the self-diagnosis device.)

reset after the oil change for the next
periodic oil change to be indicated at
the correct time. (See page 6-10.)
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes on
for a few seconds and then goes
off.
3. If the indicator does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
V-belt replacement indicator “V-
BELT”
This indicator flashes every 18000 km
(10500 mi) when the V-belt needs to be
replaced.
The electrical circuit of the indicator can
be checked according to the following
procedure.
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Check that the indicator comes on
for a few seconds and then goes
off.3. If the indicator does not come on,
have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.
Self-diagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the multi-function display will
indicate an error code.
If the multi-function display indicates
such an error code, note the code num-
ber, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
NOTICE
ECA11790
If the multi-function display indi-
cates an error code, the vehicle
should be checked as soon as pos-
sible in order to avoid engine dam-
age.The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system cir-
cuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and themulti-function display will indicate an
error code when the key is turned to
“ON”.
TIPIf the multi-function display indicates er-
ror code 52, this could be caused by
transponder interference. If this error
appears, try the following.1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.TIPMake sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer1. Error code display

Sidestand The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.TIPThe built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See the following section for an expla-
nation of the ignition circuit cut-off sys-
tem.)
WARNING
EWA10241
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand 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.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly and have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
EAU45052
Ignition circuit cut-off system The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch and brake
light switches) has the following func-
tions.●
It prevents starting when the side-
stand is up, but neither brake is ap-
plied.
●
It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sidestand
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.

NOTICE
ECA15024
If a warning light, indicator light or
indicator does not go off, see pages
3-4, 3-6, 3-8, 3-9 or 3-9 for the corre-
sponding warning light, indicator
light or indicator circuit check.2. Close the throttle completely.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch while applying the front
or rear brake.
If the engine does not start, re-
lease the start switch, wait a few
seconds, and then try again. Each
starting attempt should be as short
as possible to preserve the bat-tery. Do not crank the engine more
than 10 seconds on any one at-
tempt.
NOTICE

For maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine is
cold!

Tips for reducing fuel con-
sumption Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:●
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
●
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
●
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16830
Engine break-in There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAUS1840
0–500 km (0–300 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5000
r/min.
500–1000 km (300–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 7500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, be sure to replace
the engine oil, final transmission oil
and the oil filter element.
[ECA12931]
1000 km (600 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.NOTICE

●
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
●
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

Engine air filter and V-belt air filters
This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with
compressed air to avoid damaging it.
The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter elements need to be serviced more frequent-
ly when riding in unusually wet or dusty areas.
