Si destan d
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
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ri dden with
the si destan d d own, or if the si de-
stan d cannot b e properly move d up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
si destan d coul d contact the g round
an d d istract the operator, resultin g
in a possib le loss of control.
Yamaha’s ig nition circuit cut-off
system has been desi gne d to assist
the operator in fulfillin g the respon-
si bility of raising the sidestan d b e-
fore startin g off. Therefore, check
this system re gularly an d have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.
EAU68773
I g nition circuit cut-off system
This system prevents engine starts un-
less the sidestand is up and the brakes
are applied. Also, it will stop the run-
ning engine should the sidestand be
lowered.
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.

Cornering lig hts
This model is equipped with 3 corner-
ing lights on each side. The cornering
lights come on to help illuminate the
road when the vehicle is leaned over.
According to the direction of the turn,
the cornering lights for that side come
on. The lights come on in sequence
from the inside outward depending on
the lean angle of the vehicle.
TIP
When the vehicle is first powered on,
the cornering lights will perform a self-
check. Each light should come on in
sequence from the inside outward and
then return inward.

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.

En gine 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 fol-
lowing 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 themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that
might result in engine overheating
must be avoided.
EAU17124
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500

the oil filter cartri dge or element re-
placed .

Startin g the en gine
The ignition circuit cut-off system will
enable starting when:
 the transmission is in the neutral
position or
 the transmission is in gear, the
sidestand is up, and the clutch le-
ver is pulled.
To start the engine
1. Turn the main switch on and set the engine stop switch to the run
position.
2. Confirm the indicator and warning light(s) come on for a few sec-
onds, and the go off. (See page
3-3.)
TIP
Do not start the engine if the en-
gine trouble warning light or the oil
level warning light remains on.
 The ABS warning light should
come on and stay on until the ve-
hicle reaches a speed of 10 km/h
(6 mi/h).
NOTICE

TIP
This model is equipped with:
 an inertial measurement unit
(IMU). This unit stops the engine in
case of a turnover. Turn the main
switch off and then on before at-
tempting to restart the engine.
Failing to do so will prevent the en-
gine 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. If the engine
stops, simply push the start
switch to restart the engine.

Shiftin g
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 3-24 for an explanation
of the YCC-S system, to page 3-25 for
the shift pedal operation, and to page
3-26 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, down-
shift until the indicator light stops
flashing.
 When the stop mode function is
activated, the transmission auto-
matically shifts down when com-
ing to a stop.
NOTICE
ECA17951
Even with the transmission in the
neutral position, d o not coast for
lon g period s of time with the eng ine
off, an d d o not tow the vehicle for
lon g d istances. The transmission is
properly lu bricated only when the
en gine is runnin g. Ina dequate lu bri-
cation may d amage the transmis-
sion.

shown in the following table, close
the throttle.
4. Shift the transmission into second gear. (Make sure not to shift the
transmission into the neutral posi-
tion.)
5. Open the throttle part way.
6. Follow the same procedure when shifting to the next higher gear.
TIP
When shifting gears in normal operat-
ing conditions, use the recommended
shift points.
EAU73240To decelerate
1. Release the throttle and apply both the front and the rear brakes
smoothly to slow the motorcycle.
2. At the recommended shift points shown in the following table, shift
to a lower gear.
3. When the motorcycle reaches 25 km/h (16 mph), the engine is about
to stall or runs roughly, use the
brakes to slow the motorcycle,
and continue to downshift as nec-
essary.
4. Once the motorcycle has stopped, the transmission can be
shifted into the neutral position.
The neutral indicator light should
come on.
WARNING

Improper brakin g can cause
loss of control or traction. Al-
ways use b oth brakes an d apply
them smoothly. 
Make sure that the motorcycle
