Immobilizer system indicator light
“”
When the vehicle is turned off and 30
seconds have passed, the indicator
light will flash steadily to indicate the im-
mobilizer 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 dealercheck 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 ti mes, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following. 1. Make sure there are no other im- mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys 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 standard keys
re-registered.

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.

engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. If the engine
stops, simply push the start switchto restart the engine.
