The corresponding indicator light flash-
es when the turn signal switch is
pushed to the left or right.TIPBoth indicator lights will flash when thehazard switch is used. (See page 4-10.)
EAU11081
High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the
high beam of the headlight is switched
on.
EAU63521
Engine trouble warning light “ ”
This warning light comes on if an elec-
trical circuit monitoring the engine is not
working correctly. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the self-diagno-
sis system.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the vehicle
power on. The warning light should
come on for a few seconds, and then
go off.
If the warning light does not come on
initially when the vehicle power is
turned on, or if the warning light re-
mains on, have a Yamaha dealer check
the electrical circuit.TIPThis warning light will come on when
the vehicle power is on and the “ON/ ”
switch is pushed, but this does not indi-cate a malfunction.
EAU63532
ABS warning light “ ” (for ABS
models)
In normal operation, the ABS warning
light comes on when the vehicle power
is turned on and goes off after traveling
at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher.
If the ABS warning light:
does not come on when the vehi-
cle power is turned on

comes on or flashes while riding

does not go off after traveling at a
speed of 10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher
The ABS may not work correctly. If any
of the above occurs, have a Yamaha
dealer check the system as soon as
possible. (See page 4-13 for an expla-
nation of the ABS.)WARNING
EWA16041
If the ABS warning light does not go
off after traveling at a speed of 10
km/h (6 mi/h) or higher, or if the
warning light comes on or flashes
while riding, the brake system re-
verts to conventional braking. If ei-
ther of the above occurs, or if the
warning light does not come on at
all, use extra caution to avoid possi-

Smart key system indicator light
“”
This indicator light communicates the
status of the smart key system. When
the smart key system is operating nor-
mally, this indicator light will be off. If
there is an error in the smart key sys-
tem, the indicator light will flash. The in-
dicator light will also flash when
communication between the vehicle
and smart key takes place and when
certain smart key system operations are carried out. (See page 3-1.)
TIPWhen the start switch is pushed, the in-
dicator light will come on for about one
second and then go off. If the indicator
light does not come on or go off as nor-
mal, have a Yamaha dealer check thevehicle.

Rear brake lock leverThis vehicle is equipped with a rear
brake lock lever to prevent the rear
wheel from moving while stopped at
traffic signals, railroad crossings, etc.
To lock the rear wheel
Push the rear brake lock lever to the left
until it snaps into place.
To unlock the rear wheel
Push the rear brake lock lever back to
the original position.TIPBe sure to check that the rear wheel
does not move when the rear brake
lock lever is applied.
WARNING
EWA12362

to the left while the vehicle is mov-
ing, otherwise loss of control or an
accident may result. Make sure that
the vehicle is stopped before mov-
ing the rear brake lock lever to theleft.

ABS (for ABS models)The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic con-
trol system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently.
Operate the brakes with ABS as you
would conventional brakes. If the ABS
is activated, a pulsating sensation may
be felt at the brake levers. In this situa-
tion, continue to apply the brakes and
let the ABS work; do not “pump” the
brakes as this will reduce braking effec-
tiveness.
WARNING
EWA16051
Always keep a sufficient distance
from the vehicle ahead to match the
riding speed even with ABS.
The ABS performs best with
long braking distances.

On certain surfaces, such as
rough or gravel roads, the brak-
ing distance may be longer withthe ABS than without.
The ABS is monitored by an ECU,
which will revert the system to conven-
tional braking if a malfunction occurs.
TIP
The ABS performs a self-diagno-
sis test each time the vehicle is
turned on and travels at a speed of
10 km/h (6 mi/h) or higher. During
this test, a clicking noise can be
heard and if either brake lever is
even slightly applied, a vibration
can be felt at the lever, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.

This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsation at the brake levers when
the ABS is operating. However,
special tools are required, so
please consult your Yamaha deal-er.
NOTICE
ECA20100
Be careful not to damage the wheel
sensor or wheel sensor rotor; other-
wise, improper performance of theABS will result.

TIP
Some helmets cannot be stored in
the rear storage compartment be-
cause of their size or shape.

Do not leave your scooter unat-
tended with the seat open.

The interior of the rear storage
compartment lies outside the oper-
ating range of the smart key. If the
rear storage compartment is
locked with the smart key inside,
the smart key system may be dis-
abled. The smart key must be car-
ried by the rider.

Do not place the smart key, me-
chanical key, or identification num- ber tag inside the rear storage
compartment. They may get
locked inside and the smart key
system may not operate normally.
NOTICE
ECA15963

Do not leave the seat open for
an extended period of time, oth-
erwise the light may cause the
battery to discharge.

Since the storage compartment
may get wet while the scooter is
being washed, wrap any articles
stored in the compartment in a
plastic bag.

To avoid humidity from spread-
ing through the storage com-
partment and to discourage
possible mold growth, wrap wet
articles in a plastic bag before
storing them in the compart-
ment.

Do not keep anything valuable
or breakable in the storage com-
partment.

Since the storage compartment
accumulates heat from the en-
gine and from direct sunlight,
do not store anything suscepti-
ble to heat, such as food or
flammable items, inside the
compartment.WARNING
