NOTICE
ECA15764
The smart key system uses weak ra-
dio waves. The smart key system
may not work in the following situa-
tions.
The smart key is placed in a lo-
cation exposed to strong radio
waves or other electromagnetic
noise
There are facilities nearby that
are emitting strong radio waves
(TV or radio towers, power
plants, broadcasting stations,
airports, etc.)
You are carrying or using com-
munication equipment such as
radios or mobile phones in
close proximity of the smart key
The smart key is in contact with
or covered by a metallic object
Other vehicles equipped with a
smart key system are nearby
In such situations, move the smart
key to another location and perform
the operation again. If it still does
not work, use the mechanical key to
carry out the operation in emergen-
cy mode. (See page 8-36.)
EAU77213
Operating range of the smart
key system
The operating range of the smart key
system is about 80 cm (31.5 in) from
the center of the handlebars.
TIP
As the smart key system uses
weak radio waves, the operating
range may be affected by the sur-
rounding environment.
When the battery of the smart key
is discharged, the smart key may
not work or its operating range be-
come very small.
If the smart key is turned off, the
vehicle will not recognize the smart
key even if it is within operating
range.
If the “ON/ ” switch, “OFF/LOCK”
switch, or “ / ” switch are re-
peatedly pressed when the smart
key is out of range or cannot com-

Placing the smart key in the front
or rear storage compartment may
block communication between the
smart key and the vehicle. If the
rear trunk or front storage com-
partment is locked with the smart
key inside, the smart key system
may be disabled. The smart key
should always carried on your per-
son.
WARNING
EWA17952
The smart key should be carried
with you. Do not store it on the
vehicle.
When the smart key is within op-
erating range, exercise due care
because other people not carry-
ing the smart key can start the
engine and operate the vehicle.
EAU61646
Handling of the smart key and
mechanical key
Included with the vehicle is one smart
key (with a built-in mechanical key) and
one spare mechanical key with an iden-
tification card. Keep the spare mechan-
ical key and card separate from the
smart key. Should you lose or damage
the smart key, or when its battery is dis-
charged, the mechanical key will serve
as a back up. The seat can be opened,
the smart key system identification
number can be manually input, and
then the vehicle can be operated. (See
page 8-36.) We recommend that you
note down the identification number
in case of emergency.
If the smart key and identification card
of the mechanical key are both lost or
damaged, and there is no record of the
identification number, the entire smart
key system will need to be replaced.
TIP
The identification number can also be
found on the smart key itself.

ECA21573
The smart key has precision elec-
tronic components. Observe the fol-
lowing precautions to prevent
possible malfunction or damage.
Do not place or store the smart
key in a storage compartment.
The smart key may be damaged
from road vibrations or exces-
sive heat.
Do not drop, bend, or subject
the smart key to strong impacts.
Do not submerge the smart key
in water or other liquids.
Do not place heavy items or ex-
cessive stress on the smart key.
Do not leave the smart key in a
place exposed to direct sun-

netic objects such as key hold-
ers, TVs, and computers.
Keep the smart key away from
electric medical equipment.
Do not allow oils, polishing
agents, fuel, or any strong chemicals to come in contact
with the smart key. The smart
key body may become discol-
ored or cracked.
TIP
The smart key battery life is ap-
proximately two years, but this
may vary according to operating
conditions.
The smart key battery may be-
come discharged even if it is away
from the vehicle and not being
used.
If the smart key continually re-
ceives radio waves, the smart key
battery will discharge quickly. (For
example, when placed in the vicin-
ity of electrical products such as
televisions, radios, or computers.)
Replace the smart key battery when
the smart key system indicator light
flashes for about 20 seconds when the
vehicle is first power on, or when the
smart key indicator light does not come
on when the “ON/OFF” switch is
pushed. (See page 3-6.) After changing
the smart key battery, if the smart key
system still does not operate, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
TIP
You can register up to six smart
keys for the same vehicle. See a
Yamaha dealer regarding spare
smart keys.
If a smart key is lost, contact a
Yamaha dealer immediately to
prevent the vehicle from being sto-
len.

brought within range, the smart key
system allows you to operate the vehi-
cle without inserting a mechanical key.

the key does a short flash, the key is on.
If the key does a long flash, the key is
off.
TIP
To preserve the vehicle battery power,
the smart key system will turn off auto-
matically about a week after the vehicle
is last used. In this case, press the
“ON/ ” switch once to turn on the smart key system, and then once more
to turn on the vehicle power.
