IDENTIFICATION
There are two significant reasons for knowing
the serial number of your vehicle:
1. When ordering parts, you can give the num-
ber to your Yamaha dealer for positive iden-
tification of the model you own.
2. If your vehicle is stolen, the authorities will
need the number to search for and identify
your vehicle.
EAS2GB2011VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The vehicle identification number “1” is
stamped into the right side of the frame.
EAS2GB2012ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER
The engine serial number “1” is stamped into
the elevated part of the right-side of the engine.
EAS2GB2013VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL INFORMA-
TION LABEL
The Vehicle Emission Control Information label
“1” is affixed at the location in the illustration.
This label shows specifications related to ex-
haust emissions as required by federal law,

EAS2GB2014OUTLINE OF THE FI SYSTEM
The main function of a fuel supply system is to provide fuel to the combustion chamber at the opti-
mum air-fuel ratio in accordance with the engine operating conditions and the atmospheric tempera-
ture. In the conventional carburetor system, the air-fuel ratio of the mixture to be supplied to the
combustion chamber is determined by the amount of intake air and fuel that is measured on the basis
of the jets to be used in the carburetor.
Despite the same amount of intake air, the fuel amount requirement varies with the engine operating
conditions (acceleration, deceleration, and operation under a heavy load). The carburetor that mea-
sures fuel through the use of jets are provided with various auxiliary devices, so that the optimum air
fuel ratio can be obtained to accommodate frequent changes in the operating conditions of the en-
gine. This model has adopted an electronically controlled fuel injection (FI) system, in place of the
conventional carburetor system. This system can obtain the optimum air-fuel ratio required by the
engine at all times by using a microprocessor that regulates the fuel injection amount according to
the engine operating conditions detected by various sensors.
1. Fuel injector
2. Throttle position sensor
3. Intake air pressure sensor
4. Engine trouble warning light
5. Intake air temperature sensor
6. ECU
7. Fuel pump
