Adjusting the front and rear
suspension
This model is equipped with an elec-
tronically adjustable suspension sys-
tem. The preload of the rear shock
absorber and the damping forces of
both the front fork and rear shock ab-
sorber can be adjusted.
WARNING
EWA12423
Be sure to stop the vehicle before
making any setting changes to the
multi-function meter unit. Changing
settings while riding can distract the
operator and increase the risk of an
accident.
Preload
When riding with luggage or a passen-
ger, use the preload adjusting function
to adjust the suspension system to
match the load. There are 4 preload
settings.
TIP
The preload adjusting function will
appear only when the engine is
running.
Changing the preload setting will
also adjust the front and rear sus-
pension damping forces accord-
ingly. (See page 3-41.)
About cold temperature opera-
tion:
• When using the preload adjust-
ing function, there should be no
weight on the vehicle.
• When using the preload adjust-
ing function at ambient temper-
atures near or below 0 °C (32
°F), the suspension system
warning light may come on.

3• The suspension will still operate
as normal, only the preload ad-
justing function cannot be used.
• To reset the suspension system
warning light, wait approximate-
ly 6 minutes and then turn the
main switch off or immediately
turn the main switch off and
then wait 6 minutes.
• If the suspension system warn-
ing light remains on, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-
cle.
To adjust the preload
1. Turn the main switch on, start the
engine, and then shift the trans-
mission into neutral.
2. Push the menu switch to switch
the function display to the preload
adjusting function.3. Use the select switch to select the
desired preload setting pictogram.
Select the suitable setting from
the following 4 pictograms ac-
cording to your load condition.
While the preload is being adjust-
ed, the information display will
show a group of dots moving in a
circle. Once the selected picto-
gram returns, the preload adjust-
ment is complete.

While the preload is being adjusted,
the information display may change as
follows.
If the main switch is turned off or
the engine is stopped while the
preload is being set, the following
preload setting pictogram will
flash to alert you that the current
preload setting does not match
the pictogram. If this occurs, ad-
just the preload again.
If the vehicle starts moving, the
following preload setting picto-
gram will flash to alert you that the
current preload setting does not
match the pictogram. If this oc-
curs, stop the vehicle and adjust
the preload again.If the preload is adjusted repeat-
edly, the preload setting picto-
gram will flash 4 times and the
preload cannot be adjusted. Wait
approximately 6 minutes for the
preload adjusting function motor
to cool down, and then try adjust-
ing the preload again.
Damping force
Within each preload setting there are 3
damping force settings: “HARD”
(hard), “STD” (standard) and “SOFT”
(soft). When the preload setting is
changed, the damping force settings
will change accordingly. (The electron-
ically adjustable suspension system
will automatically adjust to the damp-
ing force settings last set for that pre-
load setting.) To further finely adjust
the damping force, each damping for-
ce setting can be set to 7 different lev-
els.

TIP
The damping force setting can be set to
7 levels (+3, +2, +1, 0, –1, –2 and –3).
“+3” is the hardest level and “–3” is the
softest level.
6. Push the menu switch.
If the vehicle moves while you are ad-
justing the damping force, the informa-
tion display will change to the display
mode.
WARNING
EWA16421
The rear shock absorber assembly
contains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber assembly.
Do not tamper with or attempt
to open the cylinder assembly.
Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat source.
This may cause the unit to ex-
plode due to excessive gas
pressure.Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.
Do not dispose of a damaged or
worn-out shock ab
sorber as-
sembly yourself. Take the shock
absorber assembly to a Yamaha
dealer for any service.

Auxiliary DC jack
WARNING
EWA14361
To prevent electrical shock or short-
circuiting, make sure that the cap is
installed when the auxiliary DC jack
is not being used.
NOTICE
ECA15432
The accessory connected to the
auxiliary DC jack should not be used
with the engine turned off, and the
load must never exceed 30 W (2.5 A),
otherwise the fuse may blow or the
battery may discharge.
This vehicle is equipped with an auxil-
iary DC jack in the accessory box.
A 12-V accessory connected to the
auxiliary DC jack can be used when the
key is in the “ON” position and should
only be used when the engine is run-
ning.
To use the auxiliary DC jack
1. Open the accessory box lid. (See
page 3-35.)
2. Turn the key to “OFF”.
3. Remove the auxiliary DC jack cap.
4. Turn the accessory off.5. Insert the accessory plug into the
auxiliary DC jack.
6. Turn the key to “ON”, and then
start the engine. (See page 5-2.)

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.
