Remove all loose items from the
motorcycle.
Check that the fuel cock (if equip-
ped) is in the “OFF” position and
that there are no fuel leaks.
Point the front wheel straight
ahead on the trailer or in the truck
bed, and choke it in a rail to pre-
vent movement.
Shift the transmission in gear (for
models with a manual transmis-
sion).
Secure the motorcycle with tie-
downs or suitable straps that are
attached to solid parts of the
motorcycle, such as the frame or
upper front fork triple clamp (and
not, for example, to rubber-
mounted handlebars or turn sig-
nals, or parts that could break).
Choose the location for the
straps carefully so the straps will
not rub against painted surfaces
during transport.
The suspension should be com-
pressed somewhat by the tie-
downs, if possible, so that the
motorcycle will not bounce
excessively during transport.

Ignition circuit cut-off
system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch,
clutch switch and neutral switch) has
the following functions.
It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
sidestand is up, but the clutch
lever is not pulled.
It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
clutch lever is pulled, but the
sidestand is still down.
It cuts the running engine when
the transmission is in gear and
the sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system
according to the following procedure.
TIP
This check is most reliable if perfor-
med with a warmed-up engine.

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.
EWA10271
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of
control, which could cause an acci-
dent or injury.
EAU45310
TIP
This model is equipped with a lean
angle sensor to stop the engine in
case of a turnover. To start the engine
after a turnover, be sure to turn the
main switch to “OFF” and then to
“ON”. Failing to do so will prevent the
engine from starting even though the
engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.
EAUS1950
Starting the engine
In 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
sidestand up.
EWA10290
Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system
according to the procedure
described on page 3-20.
Never ride with the sidestand
down.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make

The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.
Neutral indicator light
Turn signal indicator light
High beam indicator light
Engine trouble warning light
Coolant temperature warning
light
Immobilizer system indicator
light
ABS warning light (for ABS
model)
If a warning or indicator light does
not go off, see page 3-4 for the
corresponding warning and indica-
tor light circuit check.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.
TIP
When the transmission is in the neu-
tral position, the neutral indicator light
should be on, otherwise have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch. NOTICE: For maxi-
mum engine life, never accele-
rate hard when the engine is
cold!
[ECA11041]
TIP
If the engine fails to start, release the
start switch, wait a few seconds, and
then try again. Each starting attempt
should be as short as possible to pre-
serve the battery. Do not crank the
engine more than 10 seconds on any
one attempt.
TIP
The engine is warm when it quickly
responds to the throttle.

Shifting
1. Shift pedal
2. Neutral position
Shifting 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 neu-
tral position, press the shift pedal
down repeatedly until it reaches the
end of its travel, and then slightly rai-
se it.

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
distances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.
Always use the clutch while
changing gears to avoid dama-
ging the engine, transmission,
and drive train, which are not
designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting.
EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
Do not rev the engine while shif-
ting down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engi-
ne.
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 cros-
sings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in
There 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 following 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 them-
selves to the correct operating clea-
rances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAU17101
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4500 r/min. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, the
engine oil must be changed,
and the oil filter element repla-
ced.
[ECA11151]

Drive chain slack
The drive chain slack should be chec-
ked before each ride and adjusted if
necessary.
EAU22783
To check the drive chain slack
1. Drive chain slack
1. Place the motorcycle on the
sidestand.
TIP
When checking and adjusting the dri-
ve chain slack, there should be no
weight on the motorcycle.
2. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.3. Move the rear wheel by pushing
the motorcycle to locate the tigh-
test portion of the drive chain,
and then measure the drive chain
slack as shown.
4. If the drive chain slack is inco-
rrect, adjust it as follows.
TIP
When checking the drive chain slack,
the chain tensioner should not be tou-
ching the drive chain.
EAU34316
To adjust the drive chain slack
1. Loosen the axle nut and the lock-
nut on each side of the swin-
garm.
1. Wheel axle
2. Drive chain slack adjusting bolt
3. Locknut
4. Alignment marks
2. To tighten the drive chain, turn
the drive chain slack adjusting
bolt on each side of the swin-
garm in direction (a). To loosen
the drive chain, turn the adjusting
bolt on each side of the swin-
garm in direction (b), and then
push the rear wheel forward.
NOTICE: Improper drive chain
slack will overload the engine
as well as other vital parts of
the motorcycle and can lead to
chain slippage or breakage. To
prevent this from occurring,
keep the drive chain slack wit-
hin the specified limits.
