to the left or right and then press
the “ON/ ” switch.

If the steering continues to be
locked and will not release, the
smart key system indicator light
will flash 16 times and the steering
lock release operation will stop
midway. Move the handlebar gen-
tly to the left and right to help re-
lease the steering lock and thenpress the “ON/ ” switch again.
NOTICE
ECA15825
If the steering lock will not release
and the smart key system indicator
light is flashing, have a Yamahadealer check the smart key system.
3. The power of the vehicle is turned on once the steering lock is com-
pletely released. The smart key
system indicator light will go off
and the multi-function meter dis-
play will come on.
4. The engine can now be started. (See page 6-1.)
EAU61693
Powering off the vehicleTo turn the vehicle power off (and stop
the engine if it is running), with the
smart key on and within operating
range, press the “OFF/LOCK” switch.
Upon authentification of the smart key,
the beeper will sound once to confirm
that the vehicle power has been suc-
cessfully turned off.
If the smart key is not within operating
range or cannot communicate with the
vehicle when you press the “OFF/
LOCK” switch, the vehicle will not be
turned off and the beeper will sound for
three seconds (the smart key system
indicator light will also flash) to alert you
that the power was not successfully turned off. Confirm the location and
condition of the smart key and try pow-
ering off the vehicle again.
TIP
The rider must turn off the power of
the vehicle manually.

The power of the vehicle will not
turn off automatically even if the
smart key is moved out of operat-
ing range of the smart key system.

The power of the vehicle cannot be
turned off via the “OFF/LOCK”
switch when the vehicle is moving.
Be sure to stop the vehicle in a
safe place when turning off the
power.

Without the smart key, the vehicle
power can be turned off by press-
ing the “OFF/LOCK” switch again
while the smart key system indica-
tor light is flashing.

See page 7-38 for more informa-
tion about emergency mode and
how to turn the vehicle power onwithout the smart key.

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-

If the start switch is pushed while
the engine is running, the ABS
warning light will come on, but this
is not a malfunction.

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.

speed.
When the vehicle power is turned on,
the speedometer needle will sweep
once across the speed range and then
return to zero in order to test the electri-

Ignition circuit cut-off systemThe ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch and brake
light switches) has the following func-
tions.
It prevents starting when the side-
stand is up, but neither brake is ap-
plied.

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 according
to the following procedure.

Tips for reducing fuel
consumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the following
tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Avoid high engine speeds during
acceleration.

Avoid high engine speeds with no
load on the engine.

Turn the engine off instead of let-
ting it idle for an extended length of
time (e.g., in traffic jams, at traffic
lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16842
Engine break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1600 km (1000 mi). For
this reason, you should read the follow-
ing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1600 km (1000 mi). The various parts in
the engine wear and polish themselves
to the correct operating clearances.
During this period, prolonged full-throt-
tle operation or any condition that might
result in engine overheating must be
avoided.
EAU36532
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 4100
r/min. NOTICE: After 1000 km (600
mi) of operation, the engine oil must
be changed, and the oil filter car-
tridge or element replaced.
[ECA11283]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 5000 r/min.
1600 km (1000 mi) and beyond
The vehicle can now be operated nor-
mally.
NOTICE
ECA10311

Keep the engine speed out of
the tachometer red zone.

If any engine trouble should oc-
cur during the engine break-in
period, immediately have a
Yamaha dealer check the vehi-cle.

EAU19643
Checking the spark plugsThe spark plugs are important engine
components, which should be checked
periodically, preferably by a Yamaha
dealer. Since heat and deposits will
cause any spark plug to slowly erode,
they should be removed and checked
in accordance with the periodic mainte-
nance and lubrication chart. In addition,
the condition of the spark plugs can re-
veal the condition of the engine.
The porcelain insulator around the cen-
ter electrode of each spark plug should
be a medium-to-light tan (the ideal color
when the vehicle is ridden normally),
and all spark plugs installed in the en-
gine should have the same color. If any
spark plug shows a distinctly different
color, the engine could be operating im-
properly. Do not attempt to diagnose
such problems yourself. Instead, have
a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of electrode
erosion and excessive carbon or other
deposits, it should be replaced.

12 Before installing a spark plug, the spark
plug gap should be measured with a
wire thickness gauge and, if necessary,
adjusted to specification.
Clean the surface of the spark plug
gasket and its mating surface, and then
wipe off any grime from the spark plug
threads.
TIPIf a torque wrench is not available when installing a spark plug, a good estimate
of the correct torque is 1/4–1/2 turn
past finger tight. However, the spark
plug should be tightened to the speci-
fied torque as soon as possible.
EAU1985D
Engine oil and oil filter
cartridgeThe engine oil level should be checked
before each ride. In addition, the oil
must be changed and the oil filter car-
tridge replaced at the intervals speci-
fied in the periodic maintenance and
lubrication chart.
To check the engine oil level
1. Place the vehicle on the center- stand. A slight tilt to the side can
result in a false reading.
2. Start the engine, warm it up for two minutes, and then turn it off.NOTICE
ECA11291
The engine must be cold before pro-
ceeding with the oil level check, oth-
erwise the check will result in a falsereading.
3. Wait two minutes until the oil set- tles, and then check the oil level
through the check window located
at the bottom-left side of the crank-
case.
