Main switch/steerin g lock
The main switch/steering lock controls
the ignition and lighting systems, and is
used to lock the steering. The various
positions are described below.
TIP
Be sure to use the standard key (black
bow) for regular use of the vehicle. To
minimize the risk of losing the code re-
registering key (red bow), keep it in a
safe place and only use it for code re-
registering.
EAU73011ON

power; the meter lighting, taillight, li-
cense plate light and auxiliary lights
come on, the cornering lights come on
briefly, and the engine can be started.
The key cannot be removed.

Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key into the lock, and then turn
it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be
released and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Push the fuel tank cap into posi- tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to the original position, remove it,
and then close the lock cover.
TIP
The fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly close d after fillin g fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13222
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flamma ble. To avoi d fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.1. Fuel tank cap lock cover

Si destan d
The sidestand is located on the left
side of the frame. Raise the sidestand
or lower it with your foot while holding
the vehicle upright.
TIP
The built-in sidestand switch is
part of the ignition circuit cut-off
system, which cuts the ignition in
certain situations. (See the follow-
ing section for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
 The sidestand switch is also part
of the YCC-S system. Shifting out
of neutral is impossible when the
sidestand is down.
WARNING
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ri dden with
the si destan d d own, or if the si de-
stan d cannot b e properly move d up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
si destan d coul d contact the groun d
an d d istract the operator, resultin g
in a possib le loss of control.
Yamaha’s ig nition circuit cut-off
system has been desi gne d to assist
the operator in fulfillin g the respon-
si bility of raisin g the si destan d b e-
fore startin g off. Therefore, check
this system re gularly an d have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
EAU68771
I g nition circuit cut-off system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the following
functions.
 It prevents starting when the side-
stand is up, but neither brake is applied.
 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-off system accord-
ing to the following procedure.

g ine is started , causing loss of con-
trol and possibly an acci dent.
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
 The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in the neu-
tral position whether the sidestand
is up or down.
 The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in gear and
the sidestand is up.
See page 3-47 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “ ”.
The following lights should come
on for a few seconds, then go off. Oil level warning light
 Engine trouble warning light
 Traction control system indi-
cator light
 Cruise control indicator lights
 Suspension sy stem warning
light
 Shift down indicator light
 YCC-S system warning light
 Stop mode indicator light
 Immobilizer system indicator
light
TIP
If stop mode is turned on, then the
stop mode indicator light will re-
main on.
 The ABS warning light should
come on and stay on until the ve-
hicle reaches a traveling speed of

Trou bleshootin g
Although Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15142
When checkin g the fuel system, d o
not smoke, an d make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, inclu din g pilot li ghts from water
heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
g asoline vapors can i gnite or ex-
plo de, causin g severe injury or prop-
erty damag e.
