3In such situations, move the smart
key to another location an
d perform
the operation ag ain. If it still does
not work, operate the vehicle in
emer gency mo de. (See pag e 7-38.)
TIP
To preserve vehicle battery power, the
smart key system turns off approxi-
mately 9 days after the vehicle was last
used (the answer-back function is dis-
abled). In this situation, simply push
the main switch knob to turn the smart

EAU76450
Operating ran ge of the smart
key system
The operating range of the smart key
system is about 80 cm (31.5 in) from
the main switch.
TIP
z As the smart key system uses
weak radio waves, the operating
range may be affected by the sur-
rounding environment.
z When the battery of the smart key
is discharged, the smart key may
not work or its operating range
may become very small.
z If the smart key is turned off, the
vehicle will not recognize the
smart key even if it is within oper-
ating range. If the smart key sys-
tem does not operate, see page
3-5 and confirm that the smart key
is turned on.

3Included with the vehicle is one smart
key, two mechanical keys, and one
identification number card. The identi-
fication number can also be found on
the inside of the smart key itself.
If the vehicle battery is discharged, the
mechanical key can be used to open
the seat. Carry one mechanical key
in a
ddition to the smart key.
If the smart key is lost or the smart key
battery has discharged, the identifica-
tion number can be used to operate
the vehicle in emergency mode. (See
page 7-38.) Write down the i dentifi-
cation num ber in case of emer gen-

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.
EAU34323
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4500
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, be sure to replace
the en gine oil, final transmission oil
an d the oil filter element.
[ECA12932]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5400
r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) an d b eyon d
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311
z Keep the en gine spee d out of

off, and then turn the smart key off.
TIP
Even when the vehicle is parked in a lo-
cation partitioned by a fence or the
glass window of a shop, if the smart
key is within operating range, other
people will be able to start the engine
and operate the vehicle. Please turn
the smart key off when leaving the ve-
hicle. (See page 3-5.)
If the sidestand is lowered when the
engine is running, the engine will stop
and the beeper will sound for approxi-
mately 1 minute. To stop the beeper,
turn the vehicle power off or raise the
sidestand.

Trou bleshootin g
Although Yamaha vehicles receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your vehicle re-
quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the vehicle prop-
erly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15142
When checkin g the fuel system, do
not smoke, an d make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, inclu din g pilot lig hts from water
heaters or furnaces. Gasoline or
g asoline vapors can i gnite or ex-
plod e, causin g severe injury or prop-
erty damag e.
