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.
WARNING
EWA10272
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accidentor injury.

TIPThis model is equipped with:
a lean angle sensor. This sensor
stops the engine in case of a vehi-
cle turnover. If this happens, the
engine trouble warning light will
come on, but this is not a malfunc-
tion. Turn the vehicle power off
and then back on again to cancel
the warning light. Failing to do so
will prevent the engine from start-
ing even though the engine will
crank when pushing the start
switch.

an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start switchto restart the engine.
EAU74012
Starting the engineIn order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The transmission is in the neutral
position.

The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the sid-
estand up.
See page 4-29 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the stop/run/start switch
is set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.
Oil pressure warning light

Engine trouble warning light

Coolant temperature warning
light


NOTICE
ECA11834
If a warning or indicator light does
not come on initially when the key is
turned to “ON”, or if a warning or in-
dicator light remains on, see page
4-5 for the corresponding warningand indicator light circuit check. The ABS warning light should
come on when the key is turned to
“ON”, and then go off after travel-
ing at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h)
or higher.NOTICE
ECA17682
If the ABS warning light does not
come on and then go off as ex-
plained above, see page 4-5 for thewarning light circuit check.2. Shift the transmission into the neu- tral position. The neutral indicator
light should come on. If not, ask a
Yamaha dealer to check the elec-
trical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the “ ” side of the stop/run/start
switch.
If the engine fails to start, release the stop/run/start switch, wait a
few seconds, and then try again.
Each starting attempt should be as
short as possible to preserve the
battery. Do not crank the engine
more than 10 seconds on any one
attempt.
NOTICE
ECA11043
For maximum engine life, never ac-
celerate hard when the engine iscold!
EAU77401
ShiftingShifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc. The gear positions are shown in
the illustration.TIP
To shift the transmission into the
neutral position ( ), press the
shift pedal down repeatedly until it
reaches the end of its travel, and
then slightly raise it.

This model is equipped with aquick shift system. (See page 3-6.)


Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long dis-
tances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.

Except when upshifting with the
quick shift system, always use
the clutch while changing gears
to avoid damaging the engine,
transmission, and drive train,
which are not designed to with-
stand the shock of forced shift-ing.
EAU16811
Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high en-
gine speeds during acceleration.

Do not rev the engine while shifting
down, and 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-inThere 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.
EAU17085
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5900
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.
[ECA10303]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 7100

Checking the spark plugsThe spark plugs are important engine
components, which should be checked
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha
dealer. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,
they should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plugs can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the cen-
ter electrode of each spark plug should
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color
when the vehicle is ridden normally),
and all spark plugs installed in the en-
gine should have the same color. If any
spark plug shows a distinctly different
color, the engine could be operating im-
properly. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or other
deposits, it should be replaced. Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a
wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
NOTICE
ECA10841
Do not use any tools to remove or in-
stall the spark plug cap, otherwise
the ignition coil coupler may get
damaged. The spark plug cap may
be difficult to remove because the
rubber seal on the end of the cap fits
tightly. To remove the spark plug
cap, simply twist it back and forth
while pulling it out; to install it, twistit back and forth while pushing it in.

7. Install the engine oil drain bolt and
its new gasket, and then tighten
the bolt to the specified torque.
8. Refill with the specified amount of the recommended engine oil.
TIPWipe off any spilled oil before startingthe engine.
9. Check the O-ring for damage, and then install the oil filler cap. 10. Start the engine and let it idle for
several minutes while checking for
oil leakage. If any leakage is
found, immediately stop the en-
gine and check for the cause.
TIPAfter the engine is started, the oil pres-
sure warning light should go off if the oillevel is sufficient.NOTICE
ECA20860
If the oil pressure warning light flick-
ers or remains on even if the oil level
is correct, immediately turn the en-
gine off and have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.
11. Turn the engine off, wait a few min- utes until the oil settles, and then
check the oil level one last time.

Brake light switchesThe brake light should come on just be-
fore braking takes effect. The brake
light is activated by switches connected
to the brake lever and brake pedal.
Since the brake light switches are com-
ponents of the anti-lock brake system,
they should only be serviced by a
Yamaha dealer.

Checking the front and rear
brake padsThe front and rear brake pads must be
checked for wear at the intervals spec-
ified in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
EAU36891
Front brake pads
Each front brake pad is provided with
wear indicators, which allows you to
check the brake pad wear without hav-
ing to disassemble the brake. To check
the brake pad wear, check the position
of the wear indicators while applying
the brake. If a brake pad has worn to
the point that a wear indicator almost touches the brake disc, have a Yamaha
dealer replace the brake pads as a set.
EAU48071
Rear brake pads
Each rear brake pad is provided with a
wear indicator groove, which allows
you to check the brake pad wear with-
out having to disassemble the brake.
To check the brake pad wear, check
the wear indicator groove. If a brake
pad has worn to the point that the wear
indicator groove almost appears, have
a Yamaha dealer replace the brake
pads as a set.
