can be turned on, but all other electri-
cal systems are off. The key can be re-
moved.
The steering must be locked before the
key can be turned to “ ”.

High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU43024
Engine 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-
diagnosis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning
light can be checked by turning the key
to “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 key is turned to “ON”,
or if the warning light remains on, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.TIPThis warning light will come on when

switch is pushed, but this does not in-
dicate a malfunction.
EAUM3381
ABS warning light “ ” (for ABS
models)
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the key is turned
to “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 key is
turned to “ON”
comes on or flashes while riding
does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er
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 3-12 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 atall, use extra caution to avoid possi-
ble wheel lock during emergency
braking. Have a Yamaha dealer
check the brake system and electri-
cal circuits as soon as possible.
TIPThe ABS warning light may come on
while accelerating the engine with the
scooter on its centerstand, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
EAU38625
Immobilizer system indicator light
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.
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

Rear brake leverThe rear brake lever is located on the
left side of the handlebar. To apply the
rear brake, pull this lever toward the
handlebar grip.
EAU54001
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 ef-
fectiveness.
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 first
starts off after the key is turned to
“ON” and the vehicle has traveled
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or
higher. During this test, a “click-
ing” noise can be heard from the
front of the vehicle, and if either
brake lever is even slightly ap-
plied, a vibration can be felt at the
lever, but these do 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. How-
ever, special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-
er when performing this test.NOTICE

Fuel tank capTo open the fuel tank cap
1. Insert the key into the lock and
turn it counterclockwise. The lock
will be released and the lid can be
pulled open.
2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
it counterclockwise and then pull it
off.
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Place the fuel tank cap onto the
fuel tank opening and turn the fuel
tank cap clockwise.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly closed after filling fuel.
Leaking fuel is a fire hazard.2. Close the lid, turn the key clock-
wise to the original position, and
then remove it.

Adjusting the shock absorber
assemblies
WARNING
EWA10211
Always adjust both shock absorber
assemblies equally, otherwise poor
handling and loss of stability may re-
sult.Each shock absorber assembly is
equipped with a spring preload adjust-
ing ring.NOTICE
ECA10102
To avoid damaging the mechanism,
do not attempt to turn beyond the
maximum or minimum settings.Adjust the spring preload as follows.
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting ring on each shock ab-
sorber assembly in direction (a). To de-
crease the spring preload and thereby
soften the suspension, turn the adjust-
ing ring on each shock absorber as-
sembly in direction (b).Align the appropriate notch in the
adjusting ring with the position in-
dicator on the shock absorber.
Use the spring preload adjusting
tool included in the owner’s tool
kit to make this adjustment.

SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the sidestand
or lower it with your foot while holding

tions. (See the following section for an

off system.)
