OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU00373WARNING0
•Become thoroughly familiar with
all operating controls and their
functions before riding. Consult a
Yamaha dealer regarding any con-
trol or function that you do not
thoroughly understand.
•Never start the engine or operate it
in a closed area for any length of
time. Exhaust fumes are poiso-
nous, and inhaling them can cause
loss of consciousness and death
within a short time. Always make
sure that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
•Before starting out, make sure that
the sidestand is up. If the side-
stand is not raised completely, it
could contact the ground and dis-
tract the operator, resulting in a
possible loss of control.
EAU03818
Starting the engine

tem to enable starting, one of the following
conditions must be met:
•The transmission is in the neutral po-
sition.
•The transmission is in gear with the
clutch lever pulled and the sidestand
up.
EW000054WARNING0
•Before starting the engine, check
the function of the ignition circuit
cut-off system according to the
procedure described on page 3-18.
•Never ride with the sidestand
down.
1. Turn the key to “I” (ON) and make
sure that the engine stop switch is set
to “
I”.
EC000035
If the fuel level warning light comes on,
check the fuel level, and, if necessary,
refuel as soon as possible.
2. Shift the transmission into the neutral
position.
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. Turn the starter (choke) on and com-
pletely close the throttle. (See page
3-12 for starter (choke) operation).
