Fuel tank cap
To open the fuel tank cap
Open the fuel tank cap lock cover, in-
sert the key into the lock, and then turn
it 1/4 turn clockwise. The lock will be
released and the fuel tank cap can be
opened.
To close the fuel tank cap
1. Push the fuel tank cap into posi- tion with the key inserted in the
lock.
2. Turn the key counterclockwise to the original position, remove it,
and then close the lock cover.
TIP
The fuel tank cap cannot be closed un-
less the key is in the lock. In addition,
the key cannot be removed if the cap is
not properly closed and locked.
WARNING
EWA11092
Make sure that the fuel tank cap is
properly close d after fillin g fuel.
Leakin g fuel is a fire hazar d.
EAU13222
Fuel
Make sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline an d gasoline vapors are
extremely flamma ble. To avoi d fires
an d explosions an d to re duce the
risk of injury when refuelin g, follow
these instructions.
1. Before refueling, turn off the en- gine and be sure that no one is sit-
ting on the vehicle. Never refuel
while smoking, or while in the vi-
cinity of sparks, open flames, or
other sources of ignition such as
the pilot lights of water heaters
and clothes dryers.
2. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When refueling, be sure to insert the
pump nozzle into the fuel tank filler
hole. Stop filling when the fuel
reaches the bottom of the filler
tube. Because fuel expands when
it heats up, heat from the engine or
the sun can cause fuel to spill out
of the fuel tank.1. Fuel tank cap lock cover

4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can cau-
se injury or death. Han dle gasoline
with care. Never siphon gasoline by
mouth. If you shoul d swallow some
g asoline or inhale a lot of gasoline
vapor, or g et some gasoline in your
eyes, see your d octor immediately. If
g asoline spills on your skin, wash
with soap an d water. If g asoline
spills on your clothin g, chan ge your
clothes.
EAU76860
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unlea ded g asoline. The use
of lea ded g asoline will cause severe
d amag e to internal en gine parts,
such as the valves an d piston rin gs,
as well as to the exhaust system.
TIP
 This mark identifies the recom-
mended fuel for this vehicle as
specified by European regulation
(EN228).
 Check that gasoline nozzle has
the same identifier when fueling.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use regular unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging)
occurs, use a gasoline of a different
brand or premium unleaded fuel. Use
of unleaded fuel will extend spark plug
life and reduce maintenance costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
hol containing ethanol and that con-
taining methanol. Gasohol containing
ethanol can be used if the ethanol con-
tent does not exceed 10% (E10). Gas-
ohol containing methanol is not
recommended by Yamaha because it
can cause damage to the fuel system
or vehicle performance problems.
Recommen ded fuel:
Regular unleaded gasoline (Gasohol
[E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity: 25 L (6.6 US gal, 5.5 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:
5.5 L (1.45 US gal, 1.21 Imp.gal)

Rear view mirrors
The rear view mirrors of this vehicle
can be folded forward or backward for
parking in narrow spaces. Fold the mir-
rors back to their original position be-
fore riding.
WARNING

A djustin g the front an d 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
makin g any settin g chan ges to the
multi-function meter unit. Chang ing
settin gs while ri din g can d istract the
operator an d increase the risk of an
acci dent.
Preloa d
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 3-44.)
 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.

• 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.
Dampin g 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.

Si destan d
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 situations. (See the follow-
ing section for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.)
 The sidestand switch is also part
of the YCC-S system. Shifting out
of neutral is impossible when the
sidestand is down.
WARNING
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ri dden with
the si destan d d own, or if the si de-
stan d cannot b e properly move d up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
si destan d coul d contact the groun d
an d d istract the operator, resultin g
in a possib le loss of control.
Yamaha’s ig nition circuit cut-off
system has been desi gne d to assist
the operator in fulfillin g the respon-
si bility of raisin g the si destan d b e-
fore startin g off. Therefore, check
this system re gularly an d have a
Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.

I g nition circuit cut-off system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch and
brake light switches) has the following
functions.
 It prevents starting when the side-
stand is up, but neither brake is applied.
 It prevents starting when either
brake is applied, but the sidestand
is still down.
 It cuts the running engine when
the sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of the
ignition circuit cut-off system accord-
ing to the following procedure.

TIP
This model is equipped with:  an inertial measurement unit (IMU)
that will stop the engine in case of
turnover. In this case, turn the
main switch off (and then back on)
before attempting to restart the
engine. Failing to do so will pre-
vent the engine from starting even
though the engine will crank when
the start switch is pushed.
 an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. In this case,
simply push the start switch to re-
start the engine.
