decreases. When the fuel level warning
indicator “ ” starts flashing, refuel as
soon as possible.
TIPThis fuel meter is equipped with a self-
diagnosis system. If a problem is de-
tected in the electrical circuit, the fol-
lowing cycle will be repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: All the dis-
play segments and symbol “ ” will

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

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.

b urns:
 Do not park the vehicle near
possi ble fire hazard s such as
g rass or other materials that
easily burn.
 Park the vehicle in a place
where ped estrians or chil dren
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
 Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before
d oin g any maintenance work.
 Do not allow the en gine to id le
more than a few minutes. Lon g
i d lin g can cause a b uild-up of

WARNING
EWA10211
Always a djust both shock ab sorber
assem blies equally, otherwise poor
han dlin g an d loss of stab ility may re-
sult.Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring and rebound and compression
damping force adjusting knobs.
Sprin g preloa d
Adjust the spring preload as follows. 1. Loosen the lock screw 1/2 turn counterclockwise. 2. To increase the spring preload
and thereby harden the suspen-
sion, turn the adjusting ring in di-
rection (a). To decrease the spring
preload and thereby soften the
suspension, turn the adjusting ring
in direction (b). Use the special wrench in-
cluded in the owner’s tool kit
to make this adjustment.
 The spring preload setting is
determined by measuring
distance A, shown in the illus-
tration. The longer distance A
is, the higher the spring pre-
load; the shorter distance A
is, the lower the spring pre-
load. With each complete
turn of the adjusting ring, dis-
tance A changes by 1.5 mm
(0.06 in).
 Be sure to turn the adjusting
ring so that the lock screw is
facing outward.1. Lock screw
