WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can cau-
se injury or death. Handle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you should swallow some
gasoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or get some gasoline in your
eyes, see your doctor immediately. If
gasoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap and water. If gasoline
spills on your clothing, change your
clothes.
EAU86072
Your Yamaha engine was designed to
use unleaded gasoline with a research
octane number of 90 or higher. If en-
gine knocking or pinging occurs, use a
gasoline of a different brand or higher
octane rating.
TIP
This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
Confirm the gasoline pump nozzle
has the same fuel identification
mark.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,
as well as to the exhaust system.Recommended fuel:
Unleaded gasoline (E10 acceptable)
Octane number (RON):
90
Fuel tank capacity:

Fuel tank overflow hose
The overflow hose drains excess gaso-
line and directs it safely away from the
vehicle.
Before operating the vehicle:
Check the fuel tank overflow hose
connection.
Check the fuel tank overflow hose
for cracks or damage, and replace
it if necessary.
Make sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is not blocked, and
clean it if necessary.
Make sure that the fuel tank over-
flow hose is positioned as shown.
TIP
See page 6-11 for canister information.
EAU13435
Catalytic converter
The exhaust system contains catalytic
converter(s) to reduce harmful exhaust
emissions.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.
Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.
Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before
doing any maintenance work.
Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up of
heat.

Adjusting the front and rear
suspension
This model is equipped with an elec-
tronically adjustable suspension sys-
tem. The preload of the rear shock
absorber and the damping forces of
both the front fork and rear shock ab-
sorber can be adjusted.
WARNING
EWA12423

making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.

ger, use the preload adjusting function
to adjust the suspension system to
match the load. There are 4 preload
settings.
TIP
The preload adjusting function will
appear only when the engine is
running.
Changing the preload setting will
also adjust the front and rear sus-
pension damping forces accord-
ingly. (See page 3-41.)
About cold temperature opera-
tion:
• When using the preload adjust-
ing function, there should be no
weight on the vehicle.
• When using the preload adjust-
ing function at ambient temper-
atures near or below 0 °C (32
°F), the suspension system
warning light may come on.

TIP
The damping force setting can be set to
7 levels (+3, +2, +1, 0, –1, –2 and –3).
“+3” is the hardest level and “–3” is the
softest level.
6. Push the menu switch.
If the vehicle moves while you are ad-
justing the damping force, the informa-
tion display will change to the display
mode.
WARNING
EWA16421
The rear shock absorber assembly
contains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
Do not tamper with or attempt
to open the cylinder assembly.
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock ab
sorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.

auxiliary DC jack can be used when the
key is in the “ON” position and should
only be used when the engine is run-
ning.

Sidestand
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 situa-
tions. (See the following section for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)
WARNING
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly and have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
EAU63432
Ignition circuit cut-off system
This system prevents in-gear engine
starts unless the clutch lever is pulled
and the sidestand is up. Also, it will
stop the running engine should the
sidestand be lowered while the trans-
mission is in gear.
Periodically check the system via the
following procedure.
TIP
This check is most reliable if per-
formed with a warmed-up engine.
See pages 3-2 and 3-22 for switch
operation information.
