CONTROL FUNCTIONS
EAS2GC1030INDICATOR LIGHTS AND WARNING
LIGHTS
Fuel level warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on when the fuel level
drops below approximately 1.6 L (0.42 US gal,
0.35 Imp.gal). When this occurs, refuel as soon
as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by pushing the start switch. The warn-
ing light should come on for a few seconds, and
then go off.
If the warning light does not come on initially
when the start switch is pushed, or if the warn-
ing light remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on or flashes if a prob-
lem is detected in the electrical circuit monitor-
ing the engine. If this occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the vehicle.
The electrical circuit of the warning light can be
checked by pushing the start switch. The warn-
ing light should come on for a few seconds, and
then go off.
If the warning light does not come on initially
when the start switch is pushed, or if the warn-
ing light remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the electrical circuit.
EAS2GC1031ENGINE STOP SWITCH
The engine stop switch “1” is located on the left
handlebar. Continue pushing the engine stop
switch till the engine comes to a stop.
After the engine stops, the multi-function dis-
play will go off and the power supply to the ECU
(Electronic Control Unit) will be cut off if the en-
gine stop switch is pushed and held.
TIP
The multi-function display will go off after one
minute if the engine stop switch is not pushed.
EAS2GC1032START SWITCH
The start switch “1” is located on the right han-
dlebar. Push this switch to crank the engine
with the starter.
EAS2GC1033CLUTCH LEVER
The clutch lever “1” is located on the left han-
dlebar. The clutch lever disengages or engag-
es the clutch.
Pull the clutch lever toward the handlebar to
disengage the clutch, and release the lever to
engage the clutch.

STARTING AND BREAK-IN

EAS2GC1048
STARTING AND BREAK-IN
EAS2GC1049FUEL
Always use the recommended fuel as stated
below. Also, be sure to use new gasoline the
day of a race.
ECA
NOTICE
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use of
leaded gasoline will cause severe damage
to the engine internal parts such as valves,
piston rings, and exhaust system, etc.
TIP
Your Yamaha engine has been designed to use
premium unleaded gasoline with a pump oc-
tane number [(R+M)/2] of 91 or higher, or a re-
search octane number of 95 or higher. If
knocking (or pinging) occurs, use a gasoline of
a different brand.
EWA
WARNING
• For refueling, be sure to stop the engine and use enough care not to spill any fuel.
Also be sure to avoid refueling close to a
fire.
• Refuel after the engine, exhaust pipe, etc.
have cooled off.
Gasohol (For USA and Canada)
There are two types of gasohol: gasohol con-
taining ethanol and that containing methanol.
Gasohol containing ethanol can be used if the
ethanol content does not exceed 10%. Gasohol
containing methanol is not recommended by
Yamaha because it can cause damage to the
fuel system or vehicle performance problems.
EAS2GC1050HANDLING NOTEEWA
WARNING
Never start or run the engine in a closed ar-
ea. The exhaust fumes are poisonous; they
can cause loss of consciousness and death
in a very short time. Always operate the ma-
chine in a well-ventilated area.
ECA
NOTICE
• Unlike a two-stroke engine, this engine cannot be kick started when the throttle is
open because the kickstarter may kick
back. Also, if the throttle is open the air/
fuel mixture may be too lean for the engine
to start.
• Before starting the machine, perform the
checks in the pre-operation check list.
EAS2GC1051AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE
According to “CLEANING THE AIR FILTER
ELEMENT” section in the CHAPTER 3, apply
the Yamaha foam air filter oil or other quality
foam air filter oil to the element. (Excess oil in
the element may adversely affect engine start-
ing.)
EAS2GC1052STARTING A COLD ENGINEECA
NOTICE
For maximum engine life, never accelerate
hard when the engine is cold!
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off system to
enable starting, one of the following conditions
must be met:
• The transmission is in the neutral position.
• The transmission is in gear with the clutch le- ver pulled.
1. Pull the starter knob/idle screw “1” to its full length.
TIP
When the ambient temperature is 15°C (59°F)
or below, use the starter knob/idle screw.
2. Completely close the throttle.
3. Start the engine by pushing the start switch.If the engine fails to start when using the
start switch, release it, wait a few seconds,
and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be as short as
possible to preserve the battery. Do not
crank the engine more than 10 seconds on
any one attempt. If the engine does not start
with the starter motor, try using the kickstart-
er.
