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

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.

MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STORAGE

EAS2GC1058
MOTORCYCLE CARE AND STOR-
AGE
EAS2GC1059CARE
While the open design of a motorcycle reveals
the attractiveness of the technology, it also
makes it more vulnerable. Rust and corrosion
can develop even if high-quality components
are used. A rusty exhaust pipe may go unno-
ticed on a car, however, it detracts from the
overall appearance of a motorcycle. Frequent
and proper care does not only comply with the
terms of the warranty, but it will also keep your
motorcycle looking good, extend its life and op-
timize its performance.
Before cleaning
1. Cover the muffler outlet with a plastic bag af-ter the engine has cooled down.
2. Make sure that all caps and covers as well as all electrical coup lers and connectors, in-
cluding the spark plug cap, are tightly in-
stalled.
3. Remove extremely stubborn dirt, like oil
burnt onto the crankcase, with a degreasing
agent and a brush, but never apply such
products onto seals, gaskets, sprockets, the
drive chain and wheel axles. Always rinse
the dirt and degreaser off with water.
Cleaning
ECA
NOTICE
• Avoid using strong acidic wheel cleaners, especially on spoked wheels. If such prod-
ucts are used on hard-to-remove dirt, do
not leave the cleaner on the affected area
any longer than instructed. Also, thor-
oughly rinse the area off with water, imme-
diately dry it, and then apply a corrosion
protection spray.
• Improper cleaning can damage plastic parts (such as cowlings, panels, wind-
shields, headlight lenses, meter lenses,
etc.) and the mufflers. Use only a soft,
clean cloth or sponge with water to clean
plastic. However, if the plastic parts can-
not be thoroughly cleaned with water, di-
luted mild detergent with water may be
used. Be sure to rinse off any detergent
residue using plenty of water, as it is
harmful to plastic parts. • Do not use any harsh chemical products
on plastic parts. Be sure to avoid using
cloths or sponges which have been in con-
tact with strong or abrasive cleaning prod-
ucts, solvent or thinner, fuel (gasoline),
rust removers or inhibitors, brake fluid,
antifreeze or electrolyte.
• Do not use high-pressure washers or steam-jet cleaners since they cause water
seepage and deterioration in the following
areas: seals (of wheel and swingarm bear-
ings, fork and brakes), electric compo-
nents (couplers, connectors, instruments,
switches and lights), breather hoses and
vents.
• For motorcycles equipped with a wind-
shield: Do not use strong cleaners or hard
sponges as they will cause dulling or
scratching. Some cleaning compounds for
plastic may leave scratches on the wind-
shield. Test the product on a small hidden
part of the windshield to make sure that it
does not leave any marks. If the wind-
shield is scratched, use a quality plastic
polishing compound after washing.
After normal use
Remove dirt with warm water, a mild detergent,
and a soft, clean sponge, and then rinse thor-
oughly with clean water. Use a toothbrush or
bottlebrush for hard-to-reach areas. Stubborn
dirt and insects will come off more easily if the
area is covered with a wet cloth for a few min-
utes before cleaning.
After riding in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads
Since sea salt or salt sprayed on roads during
winter are extremely corrosive in combination
with water, carry out the following steps after
each ride in the rain, near the sea or on salt-
sprayed roads.
TIP
Salt sprayed on roads in the winter may remain
well into spring.
1. Clean the motorcycle with cold water and a mild detergent, after the engine has cooled
down.
NOTICE: Do not use warm water since it
increases the corrosive action of the salt.

EAS27990CHECKING THE BULBS AND BULB SOCK-
ETS
TIP
Do not check any of the lights that use LEDs.
Check each bulb and bulb socket for damage
or wear, proper connections, and also for con-
tinuity between the terminals.
Damage/wear  Repair or replace the bulb,
bulb socket or both.
Improperly connected  Properly connect.
No continuity  Repair or replace the bulb,
bulb socket or both.
Types of bulbs
The bulbs used on this v ehicle are shown in the
illustration on the left.
• Bulbs “a” and “b” are used for the headlights
and usually use a bulb holder that must be de-
tached before removing the bulb. The majority
of these types of bulbs can be removed from
their respective socket by turning them coun-
terclockwise.
• Bulbs “c” is used for turn signal and can be re- moved from the socket by pushing and turn-
ing the bulb counterclockwise.
Checking the condition of the bulbs
The following procedure applies to all of the
bulbs.
1. Remove: •Bulb
EWA
WARNING
Since the headlight bulb gets extremely hot,
keep flammable products and your hands
away from the bulb until it has cooled down.
ECA
NOTICE
• Be sure to hold the socket firmly when re-moving the bulb. Never pull the lead, oth-
erwise it may be pulled out of the terminal
in the coupler.
• Avoid touching the glass part of the head- light bulb to keep it free from oil, otherwise
the transparency of the glass, the life of
the bulb, and the luminous flux will be ad-
versely affected. If the headlight bulb gets
soiled, thoroughly it with a cloth moist-
ened with alcohol or lacquer thinner.
2. Check: • Bulb (for continuity)(with the pocket tester)
No continuity  Replace.
TIP
Before checking for continuity, set the pocket
tester to “0” and to the “  1” range.

a. Connect the positive tester probe to terminal
“1” and the negative tester probe to terminal
“2”, and check the continuity.
b. Connect the positive tester probe to terminal “1” and the negative tester probe to terminal
“3”, and check the continuity.
c. If either of the readings indicate no continu- ity, replace the bulb.
