EAU78031
Powering off the vehicle
To turn the vehicle power off and stop
the engine if it is running, press the
“OFF/LOCK” switch.
Upon authentification of the smart key,
the beeper will sound once to confirm
that the vehicle power has been suc-
cessfully turned off and the storage
compartment and fuel tank cap lid locks
will be released.
TIP
The rider must turn off the power of
the vehicle manually.
The power of the vehicle will not
turn off automatically even if the
smart key is moved out of operat-
ing range of the smart key system.

When the vehicle is turned on, traction
control is automatically turned on.
To turn the traction control system off,
see page 5-11.
TIP
Turn the traction control system off to
help free the rear wheel if the vehicle
gets stuck in mud, sand, or other soft
surfaces.
NOTICE
ECA16801
Use only the specified tires. (See
page 8-18.) Using different sized
tires will prevent the traction control
system from controlling tire rotation
accurately.
Resetting the traction control sys-
tem
The traction control system will auto-
matically disable under certain condi-
tions; such as when a sensor fault is
detected, or when only one wheel is al-
lowed to rotate for more than a few sec-
onds. Should this happen, the “ ”
indicator light will come on, and possi-
bly the “ ” warning light, too.
TIP
When the vehicle is on the centerstand,
do not rev the engine for an extended
period of time. Otherwise, the traction
control system will automatically dis-
able and need to be reset.
If the traction control system automati-
cally disables, try resetting it as follows.
1. Stop the vehicle and turn it off completely.
2. Wait a few seconds and then turn the vehicle power on.
3. The “ ” indicator light should turn off and the system be enabled.
TIP
If the “ ” indicator light remains on af-
ter resetting, the vehicle may still be rid-
den; however, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle as soon as possible.
4. Have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle and turn off the “ ” warn-
ing light.

The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the vehicle
power on. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on at

EAU77071ABS warning light “ ”
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the vehicle power
is turned 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 vehi-
cle power is turned on
comes on or flashes while riding
does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
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 5-19 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 at
all, 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.
TIP
The ABS warning light may come on
when revving the engine with the scoot-
er on its centerstand, but this does not
indicate a malfunction.
EAU74081Traction control system indicator
light “ ”
This indicator light will flash when trac-
tion control has engaged.
If the traction control system is turned
off, this indicator light will come on.
TIP
When the vehicle is turned on, the light
should come on for a few seconds and
then go off. If the light does not come
on, or if the light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check vehicle.
EAU78080Smart key system indicator light
“”
This indicator light will flash when com-
munication between the vehicle and
smart key takes place and when certain
smart key system operations are car-
ried out.
The indicator light may also flash when
there is an error in the smart key sys-
tem.
TIP
When the start switch is pushed, the in-
dicator light will come on for about one
second and then go off. If the indicator
light does not come on or go off as nor-
mal, have a Yamaha dealer check the
vehicle.

Ignition circuit cut-off system
The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch and brake
light switches) has the following func-
tions.
It prevents starting when the side-
stand is up, but neither brake is ap-
plied.
It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sidestand
is still down.
It cuts the running engine when the
sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-of f system according
to the following procedure.

Starting the engine
NOTICE
ECA10251
See page 7-5 for engine break-in in-
structions prior to operating the ve-
hicle for the first time.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the sides-
tand must be up. (See page 5-30.) 1. With the smart key turned on, ap- proach the vehicle.
2. Push the “ON/ ” switch.
Upon authentication of the smart
key, the beeper will sound twice
and the centerstand and steering
locks (if applied) will be released.
All indicator and warning lights
should come on briefly and then go
off.
The ABS warning light should
come on when the power of the ve-
hicle is turned on, and go off once
the vehicle reaches a traveling
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er.
NOTICE
ECA22510
If a warning or indicator light does
not work as described above, see
page 5-2 for the corresponding warning and indicator light circuit
check.
3. Close the throttle completely.
4. Start the engine by pushing the “ON/ ” switch while applying the
front or rear brake.
If the engine does not start within 5
seconds of pressing the “ON/ ”
switch, wait 10 seconds before
pressing the switch again to allow
the battery voltage to restore.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.
Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.
Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-in
There is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU36532
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5100
r/min . NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA11283]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 6100
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.
If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.

TIP
Engine air filter and V-belt air filters This model’s engine air filter is equipped with a disposable oil-coated paper element, which must not be cleaned with compressed air to avoid damaging
it.
The engine air filter element needs to be replaced and the V-belt air filter el- ements need to be serviced more frequent ly when riding in unusually wet or
dusty areas.
Hydraulic brake service After disassembling the brake master cylinders and calipers, always change the fluid. Regularly check the brake fluid levels and fill the reservoirs
as required.
Every two years replace the internal components of the brake master cylin- ders and calipers, and change the brake fluid.
Replace the brake hoses every four years and if cracked or damaged.
25 * Cooling system Check coolant level and vehicle
for coolant leakage. 
Change. Every 3 years
26 * V-belt Replace. When the V-belt replacement
indicator flashes [every 20000 km (12000 mi)]
27 * Front and rear
brake switches Check operation.

28 * Moving parts and
cables Lubricate.

29 * Throttle grip
housing and cable Check operation and free play.
Adjust the throttle cable free
play if necessary.
Lubricate the throttle grip housing, cable and grip warmer
wire. 

switches Check operation.
Adjust headlight beam.
