off spilled fuel with a clean, dry,
soft cloth, since fuel may deteri-
orate painted surfaces or plastic
parts.

WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous and can
cause injury or death. Handle gaso-
line with care. Never siphon gaso-
line by mouth. If you should swallow
some gasoline or inhale a lot of gas-
oline vapor, or get some gasoline in your eyes, see your doctor immedi-
ately. If gasoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap and water. If gaso-
line spills on your clothing, change
your clothes.
EAU75300
NOTICE
ECA11401
Use only unleaded gasoline. The use
of leaded gasoline will cause severe
damage to internal engine parts,
such as the valves and piston rings,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 thesame identifier when fueling.
Your Yamaha engine has been de-
signed to use premium unleaded gaso-
line with a research octane number of
95 or higher. If knocking (or pinging) oc-
curs, use a gasoline of a different
brand. Use of unleaded fuel will extend
spark plug life and reduce maintenance
costs.
Gasohol
There are two types of gasohol: gaso-
1. Fuel tank filler tube
2. Maximum fuel level

Recommended fuel: Premium unleaded gasoline (Gaso-
hol [E10] acceptable)
Fuel tank capacity: 17 L (4.5 US gal, 3.7 Imp.gal)
Fuel reserve amount:

12 hol containing ethanol and that contain-
ing 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.
EAU72971
Fuel tank overflow hoseBefore operating the vehicle:
check the overflow hose connec-
tion.

check the overflow hose for dam-
age.

confirm the overflow hose is not
blocked.

confirm the overflow hose is routed
through the clamp.
TIPSee page 7-10 for canister information.
EAU13434
Catalytic converterThis model is equipped with a catalytic
converter in the exhaust system.
WARNING
EWA10863
The exhaust system is hot after op-
eration. To prevent a fire hazard or
burns:
Do not park the vehicle near
possible fire hazards such as
grass or other materials that
easily burn.

Park the vehicle in a place
where pedestrians or children
are not likely to touch the hot
exhaust system.

Make sure that the exhaust sys-
tem has cooled down before do-
ing any maintenance work.

Do not allow the engine to idle
more than a few minutes. Long
idling can cause a build-up ofheat.

Adjusting the front forkThis model is equipped with adjustable
suspension. The spring preload, re-
bound damping force, and compres-
sion damping force of each leg can be
adjusted.
WARNING
EWA10181
Always adjust both fork legs equal-
ly, otherwise poor handling and lossof stability may result.NOTICE
ECA22471

Use extra care to avoid scratch-
ing the gold-anodized finish
when making suspension ad-
justments.

To avoid damaging the suspen-
sion’s internal mechanisms, do
not attempt to turn beyond themaximum or minimum settings.
Spring preload
To increase the spring preload and
thereby harden the suspension, turn
the adjusting nut on each fork in direc-
tion (a). To decrease the spring preload and thereby soften the suspension,
turn the adjusting nut on each fork in di-
rection (b).
Rebound damping force
To increase the rebound damping force
and thereby harden the rebound damp-
ing, turn the adjusting bolt on each fork
leg in direction (a). To decrease the re-
bound damping force and thereby soft-
en the rebound damping, turn the
adjusting bolt on each fork leg in direc-
tion (b).

This shock absorber assembly con-
tains 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.

EXUP systemThis model is equipped with Yamaha’s
EXUP (EXhaust Ultimate Power valve)
system. This system boosts engine
power by means of a valve that controls
exhaust flow within the exhaust cham-
ber.NOTICE
ECA15611
The EXUP system has been set and
extensively tested at the Yamaha
factory. Changing these settings
without sufficient technical knowl-
edge may result in poor perfor-mance of or damage to the engine.

Auxiliary DC jackA 12-V accessory connected to the
auxiliary DC jack can be used when the
main switch is on.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 12 W (1.0 A),
otherwise the fuse may blow or thebattery may discharge.
To use the auxiliary DC jack 1. Turn the main switch off.
2. Remove the auxiliary DC jack cap. 3. Turn the accessory off.
4. Insert the accessory plug into the
auxiliary DC jack.
5. Turn the main switch on, and start the engine. (See page 6-1.)
6. Turn the accessory on.
WARNING
EWA14361
To prevent electrical shock or
short-circuiting, make sure that the
cap is installed when the auxiliaryDC jack is not being used.

SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.TIPThe built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See the following section for an expla-
nation of the ignition circuit cut-off sys-tem.)
WARNING
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand 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

Ignition circuit cut-off systemThis system prevents in-gear engine
starts unless the clutch lever is pulled
and the sidestand is up. Also, it will stop

tand be lowered while the transmission
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.
