Immobilizer system in dicator li ght
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 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.
The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits. (See page 3-8 for an explana-
tion of the self-diagnosis device.)
EAU11602
Speed ometerThe speedometer shows the riding
speed.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the
speedometer needle will sweep once
across the speed range and then re-
turn to zero in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.
EAU11873
TachometerThe electric tachometer allows the rid-
er to monitor the engine speed and
keep it within the ideal power range.
When the key is turned to “ON”, the ta-
chometer needle will sweep once
across the r/min range and then return
to zero r/min in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.NOTICE

Self-d iagnosis device
This model is equipped with a self-di-
agnosis device for various electrical
circuits.
If a problem is detected in any of those
circuits, the engine trouble warning
light will come on and the odome-
ter/tripmeter display will indicate an er-
ror code.
If the display indicates any error codes,
note the code number, and then have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle. The self-diagnosis device also detects
problems in the immobilizer system
circuits.
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system circuits, the immobilizer
system indicator light will flash and the
display will indicate an error code.
TIPIf the display indicates error code 52,
this could be caused by transponder
interference. If this error code 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! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interfer-
ence, which may prevent the engine
from starting.2. If the engine starts, turn it off andtry starting the engine with the
standard keys. 3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan- dard keys re-registered.

TIPThe fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after fillin g fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13213
FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d g asoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, follow
these instructions.1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity 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. 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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately. NOTICE: Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painted surfaces or
plastic parts.
[ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or death. Han dle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gasoline
b y mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of g as-
oline vapor, or g et some gasoline in
your eyes, see your doctor imme di-1. Fuel tank filler tube

NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lead ed g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gas-
oline with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce mainte-
nance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.

 Check each hose connection.
 Check each hose for cracks or
damage, and replace if necessary.
 Make sure that the end of each
hose is not blocked, and clean if
necessary.
Recommen ded fuel:
Premium unleaded gasoline (Gaso-
hol (E10) acceptable)

EXUP systemThis model is equipped with Yamaha’s
EXUP (EXhaust Ultimate Power valve)
system. This system boosts engine
power by means of a valve that regu-
lates the inner diameter of the exhaust
pipe. The EXUP system valve is con-
stantly adjusted in accordance with the
engine speed by a computer-con-
trolled servomotor.NOTICE
ECA10192
 The EXUP system has been set
an d extensively teste d at the
Yamaha factory. Chan gin g
these settin gs without sufficient
technical knowledg e may result
in poor performance of or dam-
a g e to the en gine.
 If the EXUP system cannot be
hear d when the main switch is
turne d on, have a Yamaha d eal-
er check it.

Si destan dThe 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 situa-
tions. (See the following section for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)
WARNING
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ri dden with
the si destan d d own, or if the si de-
stan d cannot b e properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
si destan d coul d contact the groun d
an d d istract the operator, resultin g
in a possi ble loss of control.
Yamaha’s i gnition circuit cut-off

I g nition circuit cut-off systemThe ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch,
clutch switch and neutral switch) has
the following functions.
 It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
sidestand is up, but the clutch le-
ver is not pulled.
 It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
clutch lever is pulled, but the side-
stand is still down.
 It cuts the running engine when
the transmission is in gear and the
sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system accord-
ing to the following procedure.
