Quick shift systemThe quick shift system (QS) allows for
full-throttle, clutch lever-less, electroni-
cally-assisted upshifts. When the shift
switch detects motion in the shift pedal
(page 4-17), engine power and drive
torque are momentarily adjusted to al-
low the upshift to occur.TIP
The quick shift system operates
when traveling at least 20 km/h (12
mi/h) with an engine speed of 2000
r/min or higher, and only when ac-
celerating.

It does not operate when the clutchlever is pulled.

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.

on, the shift switch senses shift pedal
movement and allows for upshifting
without operating the clutch lever. (See

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.
