
Check that the fuel cock (if
equipped) is in the “OFF” position
and that there are no fuel leaks.

Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.

Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).

Secure the motorcycle with
tie-downs or suitable straps that
are attached to solid parts of the
motorcycle, such as the frame or
upper front fork triple clamp (and
not, for example, to rubber-mount-
ed handlebars or turn signals, or
parts that could break). Choose
the location for the straps carefully
so the straps will not rub against
painted surfaces during transport.

The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the
tie-downs, if possible, so that the
motorcycle will not bounce exces-
sively during transport.

Shift pedalThe shift pedal is located on the left
side of the motorcycle and is used in
combination with the clutch lever when
shifting the gears of the 6-speed con-
stant-mesh transmission.
When the quick shift system is turned
on, the shift switch senses shift pedal
movement and allows for upshifting
without operating the clutch lever. (See
page 3-6.)
EAU26825
Brake leverThe brake lever is located on the right
side of the handlebar. To apply the front
brake, pull the lever toward the throttle
grip.
The brake lever is equipped with a
brake lever position adjusting dial. To
adjust the distance between the brake
lever and the throttle grip, turn the ad-
justing dial while holding the lever
pushed away from the throttle grip.
Make sure that the appropriate setting
on the adjusting dial is aligned with the “ ” mark on the brake lever.

SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.TIPThe 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.
EAU57950
Ignition circuit
cut-off systemThe ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch, clutch
switch and neutral switch) has the fol-
lowing functions.
It prevents starting when the trans-

tand is up, but the clutch lever is
not pulled.

It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the clutch le-
