SAFETY INFORMATION
• Always obey the speed limit
and never travel faster than
warranted by road and traffic
conditions.
• Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator
footrests during operation to
maintain control of the motor-
cycle.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep
both feet on the passenger
footrests.
• Never carry a passenger un-
less he or she can firmly place
both feet on the passenger
footrests.
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
This motorcycle is designed for
on-road use only. It is not suitable
for off-road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from motorcy-
cle accidents are the result of head in-
juries. The use of a safety helmet is
the single most critical factor in the
prevention or reduction of head in-
juries.
Always wear an approved helmet.
Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a
hazard.
The use of a jacket, heavy boots,
trousers, gloves, etc., is effective
in preventing or reducing abra-
sions or lacerations.
Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers, footrests, or
wheels and cause injury or an ac-
cident.
Never touch the engine or ex-
haust system during or after oper-
ation. They become very hot and
can cause burns. Always wear
protective clothing that covers
your legs, ankles, and feet.
A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.
Modifications
Modifications made to this motorcycle
not approved by Yamaha, or the re-
moval of original equipment, may ren-
der the motorcycle unsafe for use and
may cause severe personal injury.
Modifications may also make your mo-
torcycle illegal to use.
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo to your
motorcycle can adversely affect stabili-
ty and handling if the weight distribution
of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid
the possibility of an accident, use ex-
treme caution when adding cargo or
accessories to your motorcycle. Use
extra care when riding a motorcycle
that has added cargo or accessories.

Self-diagnosis devices
1. Engine trouble warning light “U”
2. Immobilizer system indicator light “ ”
This model is equipped with a self-diag-
nosis device for various electrical cir-
cuits. If any of those circuits are defec-
tive, the engine trouble warning light
will start flashing. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the immobi-
lizer system.
Turn the key to "ON". If any of the im-
mobilizer system circuits are defec-
tive, the immobilizer system indicator
light will flash, and it will indicate an er-
ror code.
If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle. However, if the indi-
cator light slowly flashes five times,
and then quickly flashes two times re-
peatedly, this error could be caused by
signal interference. If this occurs, try
the following.
1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
NOTE:
Make sure there are no other immobi-
lizer keys close to the main switch,
and do not keep more than one immo-
bilizer key on the same key ring! Im-
mobilizer system keys may cause sig-
nal interference, which may prevent
the engine from starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the
standard keys re-registered.

OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU15950
EWA10270
WARNING0
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness 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
sidestand is not raised com-
pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.
EAUB1340
Starting the engine
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following conditions must be met:
The transmission is in the neutral
position.
The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.
