Indicator ligh ts and warning
lights
EAU11032Turn signal indicator lights “ ” and
“”
Each indicator light will flash when its
corresponding turn signal lights are
flashing.
EAU11081High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU63521Engine 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 vehicle
power 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 vehicle power is
turned on, or if the warning light re-
mains on, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.
TIP
This warning light will come on when
the vehicle power is on and the “ON/ ”
switch is pushed, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
EAU63532ABS warning light “ ” (for ABS
models)
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the vehicle power
is turned on and goes off after traveling
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:
does not come on when the vehi-
cle power is turned on
comes on or flashes while riding
does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 4-13 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)
WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer

TIP
If the start switch is pushed while
the engine is running, the ABS
warning light will come on, but this
is not a malfunction.
The ABS warning light may come
on when revving the engine with
the scooter on its centerstand, but
this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
EAU61652Smart key system indicator light
“”
This indicator light communicates the
status of the smart key system. When
the smart key system is operating nor-
mally, this indicator light will be off. If
there is an error in the smart key sys-
tem, the indicator light will flash. The in-
dicator light will
also flash when
communication between the vehicle
and smart key takes place and when
certain smart key system operations
are carried out. (See page 3-1.)
TIP
When the start switch is pushed, the in-
dicator light will come on for about one
second and then go off. If the indicator
light does not come on or go off as nor-
mal, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.
EAU63541
Speedometer
The speedometer shows the riding
speed.
When the vehicle power is turned on,
the speedometer needle will sweep
once across the speed range and then
return to zero in order to test the electri-
cal circuit.

Front brake lever
The front brake lever is located on the
right side of the handlebar. To apply the
front brake, pull this lever toward the
throttle grip.
The front brake lever is equipped with a
position adjusting dial. To adjust the
distance between the front brake lever
and the throttle grip, turn the adjusting
dial while holding the front brake lever
pushed away from the throttle grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with the
“ ” mark on the front brake lever.

EAU63591
ABS (for ABS models)
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking effec-
tiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.
On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer with
the ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle is
turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake levers when the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of the
ABS will result.

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.
TIP
The 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
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand 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.
EAU66770
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-o ff system according
to the following procedure.
