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 situa-
tions. (See the following section for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)
WARNING
EWA10242
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 assist
the 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.
EAU63432
Ignition circuit cut-off system
This system prevents in-gear engine
starts unless the clutch lever is pulled
and the sidestand is up. Also, it will
stop the running engine should the
sidestand be lowered while the trans-
mission is in gear.
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.

Starting the engine
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

If a warning or indicator light does
not work as described above, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
3. Shift the transmission into the
neutral position.
4. Start the engine by pushing the
start switch.
5. Release the start switch when the
engine starts, or after 5 seconds.
Wait 10 seconds before pressing
the switch again to allow battery
voltage to restore.

Checking the spark plugs
The spark plugs are important engine
components, which should be
checked periodically, preferably by a
Yamaha dealer. Since heat and depos-
its will cause any spark plug to slowly
erode, they should be removed and
checked in accordance with the peri-
odic maintenance and lubrication
chart. In addition, the condition of the
spark plugs can reveal the condition of
the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the
center electrode of each spark plug
should be a medium-to-light tan (the
ideal color when the vehicle is ridden
normally), and all spark plugs installed
in the engine should have the same
color. If any spark plug shows a dis-
tinctly different color, the engine could
be operating improperly. Do not at-
tempt to diagnose such problems
yourself. Instead, have a Yamaha deal-
er check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of elec-
trode erosion and excessive carbon or
other deposits, it should be replaced.
Before installing a spark plug, the
spark plug gap should be measured
with a wire thickness gauge and, if
necessary, adjusted to specification.Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and
then wipe off any grime from the spark
plug threads.
TIP
If a torque wrench is not available
when installing a spark plug, a good
estimate of the correct torque is 1/4…
1/2 turn past finger tight. However, the
spark plug should be tightened to the
specified torque as soon as possible.
NOTICE
ECA10841
Do not use any tools to remove or in-
stall the spark plug cap, otherwise
the ignition coil coupler may get
damaged. The spark plug cap may
be difficult to remove because the
rubber seal on the end of the cap fits
tightly. To remove the spark plug
cap, simply twist it back and forth
while pulling it out; to install it, twist
it back and forth while pushing it in.

Canister
This model is equipped with a canister
to prevent the discharging of fuel vapor
into the atmosphere. Before operating
this vehicle, make sure to check the
following:
each hose connection, tighten if
loose.
each hose and the canister body
for damage, replace if damaged.
the canister breather hose is not
blocked off, clean if necessary.

Engine oil and oil filter car-
tridge
The engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center-
stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Wait a few minutes for the oil level
to settle for an accurate reading,
and then check the oil level
through the check window locat-
ed at the bottom-left side of the
crankcase.
TIP
The engine oil should be between the
minimum and maximum level marks.

mum level mark, add sufficient oil
of the recommended type to raise
it to the correct level.
TIP
Check the O-ring for damage, and re-
place it if necessary.
To change the engine oil (with or
without oil filter cartridge replace-
ment)
1. Place the vehicle on a level surfa-
ce.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for
several minutes, and then turn it
off.
3. Place an oil pan under the engine
to collect the used oil.
4. Remove the engine oil filler cap,
the engine oil drain bolt and its
gasket to drain the oil from the
crankcase.
TIP
Skip steps 5…7 if the oil filter cartridge
is not being replaced.
5. Remove the oil filter cartridge with
an oil filter wrench.
TIP
An oil filter wrench is available at a
Yamaha dealer.
6. Apply a thin coat of clean engine
oil to the O-ring of the new oil filter
cartridge.

Be sure to wipe off spilled oil on any
parts after the engine and exhaust sys-
tem have cooled down.

In order to prevent clutch slip-
page (since the engine oil also
lubricates the clutch), do not
mix any chemical additives. Do
not use oils with a diesel speci-
fication of “CD” or oils of a high-
er quality than specified. In
addition, do not use oils labeled
“ENERGY CONSERVING II” or
higher.
