1 Genuine Yamaha Accessories
Choosing accessories for your vehicle
is an important decision. Genuine
Yamaha accessories, which are avail-
able only from a Yamaha dealer, have
been designed, tested, and approved
by Yamaha for use on your vehicle.
Many companies with no connection
to Yamaha manufacture parts and ac-
cessories or offer other modifications
for Yamaha vehicles. Yamaha is not in
a position to test the products that
these aftermarket companies produce.
Therefore, Yamaha can neither en-
dorse nor recommend the use of ac-
cessories not sold by Yamaha or
modifications not specifically recom-
mended by Yamaha, even if sold and
installed by a Yamaha dealer.
Aftermarket Parts, Accessories, and
Modifications
While you may find aftermarket prod-
ucts similar in design and quality to
genuine Yamaha accessories, recog-
nize that some aftermarket accesso-
ries or modifications are not suitable
because of potential safety hazards to
you or others. Installing aftermarketproducts or having other modifications
performed to your vehicle that change
any of the vehicle’s design or operation
characteristics can put you and others
at greater risk of serious injury or
death. You are responsible for injuries
related to changes in the vehicle.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under “Load-
ing” when mounting accessories.
Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the per-
formance of your motorcycle.
Carefully inspect the accessory
before using it to make sure that it
does not in any way reduce
ground clearance or cornering
clearance, limit suspension travel,
steering travel or control opera-
tion, or obscure lights or reflec-
tors.
• Accessories fitted to the han-
dlebar or the front fork area can
create instability due to improp-
er weight distribution or aerody-
namic changes. If accessories
are added to the handlebar orfront fork area, they must be as
lightweight as possible and
should be kept to a minimum.
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the motorcycle due to aerody-
namic effects. Wind may at-
tempt to lift the motorcycle, or
the motorcycle may become
unstable in cross winds. These
accessories may also cause in-
stability when passing or being
passed by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can dis-
place the operator from his or
her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the
freedom of movement of the
operator and may limit control
ability, therefore, such accesso-
ries are not recommended.
Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical ac-
cessories exceed the capacity of
the motorcycle’s electrical sys-
tem, an electric failure could re-
sult, which could cause a
dangerous loss of lights or engine
power.

EAU1097A
Immobilizer systemThis vehicle is equipped with an immo-
bilizer system to help prevent theft by
re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing:
a code re-registering key
two standard keys
a transponder (in each key)
an immobilizer unit (on the vehicle)
an ECU (on the vehicle)
a system indicator light (page 3-5)About the keys
The code re-registering key acts like a
master key. It is used to register codes
in each standard key. Store the code
re-registering key in a safe place. Use
a standard key for daily operation.
When key replacement or re-register-
ing is necessary, bring the vehicle and
the master key along with any remain-
ing standard keys to a Yamaha dealer
to have them re-registered.
TIPKeep the standard keys as well as
keys of other immobilizer systems
away from the code re-registering
key.
Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal interfer-
ence.NOTICE
ECA11823
DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REG-
ISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR
DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS
LOST! If the code re-registering key
is lost, the existing standard keys
can still be used to start the vehicle.However, registering a new stan-
dard key is impossible. If all keys
have been lost or damaged, the en-
tire immobilizer system must be re-
placed. Therefore, handle the keys
carefully.
Do not submerse in water.
Do not expose to high tempera-
tures.
Do not place near magnets.
Do not place near items that
transmit electrical signals.
Do not handle roughly.
Do not grind or alter.
Do not disassemble.
Do not put two keys of any im-
mobilizer system on the same
key ring.

Immobilizer system indicator
light “ ”
When the vehicle is turned off and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the
immobilizer system is enabled. After 24
hours have passed, the indicator light
will stop flashing, however the immobi-
lizer system is still enabled.TIPWhen the vehicle is turned on, the light
will come on for a few seconds, and go
off. Otherwise, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.Troubleshooting
If a problem is detected in the immobi-
lizer system, the light will flash in a pat-
tern. If the immobilizer system
indicator light flashes in the pattern,
slowly 5 times then quickly 2 times, this
could be caused by transponder inter-
ference. If this occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im-
mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer systemkeys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or more of the standard
keys do not start the engine, take
the vehicle and all keys to a
Yamaha dealer to have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
