Immo bilizer system
This vehicle is equipped with an immo-
bilizer system to help prevent theft by
re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the fol-
lowing:
 a code re-registering key (with a
red bow)
 two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered
with new codes
 a transponder (which is installed in
the code re-registering key)
 an immobilizer unit
 an ECU
 an immobilizer system indicator
light (See page 3-5.)
The key with the red bow is used to
register codes in each standard key.
Since re-registering is a difficult pro-
cess, take the vehicle along with all
three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have
them re-registered. Do not use the key
with the red bow for driving. It should
only be used for re-registering the
standard keys. Always use a standard
key for driving.
NOTICE
ECA11822
 DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT
YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY
IF IT IS LOST! If the co de re-reg -
isterin g key is lost, reg istering
new co des in the stan dar d keys
is impossi ble. The stan dar d
keys can still be used to start
the vehicle, however if co de re-
re gisterin g is require d (i.e., if a
new stan dar d key is ma de or all
keys are lost) the entire immob i-
lizer system must be replaced .
Therefore, it is hi ghly recom-
mend ed to use either stan dar d
key an d keep the co de re-re gis-
tering key in a safe place.
 Do not su bmerse any key in wa-
ter.
 Do not expose any key to exces-
sively hig h temperatures.
 Do not place any key close to
ma gnets (this inclu des, but not
limite d to, pro ducts such as
speakers, etc.).
 Do

not place items that transmit
electrical si gnals close to any
key.
 Do not place heavy items on any
key.
 Do not g rind any key or alter its
shape.
 Do not d isassemble the plastic
part of any key.
 Do not put two keys of any im-
mo bilizer system on the same
key rin g.

TIP
Be sure to use the standard key (black
bow) for regular use of the vehicle. To
minimize the risk of losing the code re-
registering key (red bow), keep it in a
safe place and only use it for code re-
registering.
EAU10552ON
All electrical circuits are supplied with

 comes on or flashes while riding
 does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or high-
er
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 3-25 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)

TIP
If the immobilizer system indicator light
flashes in the pattern, slowly 5 times
then quickly 2 times, this could be
caused by transponder interference. If
this occurs, try the following.
1. Make sure there are no other im-
mobilizer keys close to the main
switch. Other immobilizer system
keys may cause signal interfer-
ence and prevent the engine from
starting.
2. Use the code re-registering key to start the engine.
3. If the engine starts, turn it off, and try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
4. If one or both of the standard keys do not start the engine, take the
vehicle and all 3 keys to a Yamaha
dealer to have the standard keys
re-registered.

crements. The temperature displayed
may vary from the ambient tempera-
ture.
TIP

–9 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature falls below
–9 °C.
 50 °C will be displayed even if the
ambient temperature climbs
above 50 °C. 
The accuracy of the temperature
reading may be affected when rid-
ing under 20 km/h (12 mi/h) or
when stopped at traffic signals
and railroad crossings.
