Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.

TIP
This model is equipped with:  an inertial measurement unit (IMU)
that will stop the engine in case of
turnover. In this case, turn the
main switch off (and then back on)
before attempting to restart the
engine. Failing to do so will pre-
vent the engine from starting even
though the engine will crank when
the start switch is pushed.
 an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. In this case,
simply push the start switch to re-
start the engine.

Shiftin g
Shifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.
The gears can be shifted using either
the shift pedal or the hand shift lever.
Refer to page 3-25 for an explanation
of the YCC-S system, to page 3-26 for
the shift pedal operation, and to page
3-27 for the hand shift lever operation.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.
TIP
To shift the transmission into the
neutral position, press the shift
pedal down repeatedly, or push the “ ” side of the hand shift lever
repeatedly until the neutral indica-
tor light comes on.
 When shifting from neutral to 1st
gear, the engine speed must be
lower than approximately 1300
r/min and the sidestand must be
up.
 Shifting up is impossible if the en-
gine speed is too low.
 Shifting down is impossible if the
engine speed is too high.
 To avoid damaging the YCC-S
clutch, the shift down indicator
light flashes when it is necessary
to downshift. If this occurs, down-
shift until the indicator light stops
flashing.
 When the stop mode function is
activated, the transmission auto-
matically shifts down when com-
ing to a stop.
NOTICE
ECA17951

neutral position, d o not coast for
lon g period s of time with the eng ine
off, an d d o not tow the vehicle for

properly lu bricated only when the
en gine is runnin g. Ina dequate lu bri-
cation may d amage the transmis-
sion.
