●
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 absorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.

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 situations. (See the follow-
ing section for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
●
The sidestand switch is also part of
the YCC-S system. Shifting out of
neutral is impossible when the
sidestand is down.WARNING
EWA10241
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 assistthe 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.

plied.
●
It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sidestand
is still down.
●

EAU15951
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
EWA10271
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which could cause an accident
or injury.
EAU47150
TIPThis model is equipped with:●
a lean angle sensor to stop the en-
gine in case of a turnover. In this
case, the multi-function meter unit
indicates error code 30, but this is
not a malfunction. Turn the key to
“OFF” and then to “ON” to clear the
error code. Failing to do so will pre-
vent the engine from starting 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. In this case,
the multi-function meter unit indi-
cates error code 70, but this is not
a malfunction. Push the start
switch to clear the error code and
to restart the engine.
EAU55471
Starting the engine
WARNING
EWA16410
Always apply the front or rear brake
while the main switch is in the “ON”
position and the transmission is in
gear. Otherwise, the vehicle may
suddenly start to move when the en-
gine is started, causing loss of con-
trol and possibly an accident.In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:●
The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in the neutral
position whether the sidestand is
up or down.
●
The front or rear brake is applied
with the transmission in gear and
the sidestand is up.
See page 3-47 for more informa-
tion.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the start/engine stop
switch is set to “ ”.
The following warning lights and
indicator lights should come on for
a few seconds, then go off.

Yamaha dealer to check the elec- trical circuit.
3. Start the engine by pushing the “ ” side of the start/engine
stop switch with the front or rear
brake applied.
If the engine fails to start, release
the start/engine stop switch, wait a
few seconds, and then try again.

Shifting Shifting gears lets you control the
amount of engine power available for
starting off, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc.The gears can be shifted using either
the shift pedal or the hand shift lever.
Refer to page 3-27 for an explanation of
the YCC-S system, to page 3-28 for the
shift pedal operation, and to page 3-28
for the hand shift lever operation.
The gear positions are shown in the il-
lustration.
TIP●
To shift the transmission into the
neutral position, press the shift
pedal down repeatedly, or push
the “ ” side of the hand shift lever
repeatedly until the neutral indica-
tor light comes on.
●
When shifting from neutral to 1st
gear, the engine speed must be
lower than approximately 1300
r/min and the sidestand must be
up.
●
Shifting up is impossible if the en-
gine speed is too low.
●
Shifting down is impossible if the
engine speed is too high.
●
To avoid damaging the YCC-S
clutch, the shift down indicator light
flashes when it is necessary to
downshift. If this occurs, downshift
until the indicator light stops flash-
ing.
●
When the stop mode function is
activated, the transmission auto-
matically shifts down when coming
to a stop.
NOTICE
ECA17950
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 vehicle for
long distances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when the
engine is running. Inadequate lubri-
cation may damage the transmis-
sion.
