FuelMake sure there is sufficient gasoline in
the tank.
WARNING
EWA10882
Gasoline and g asoline vapors are
extremely flammab le. To avoid 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. 3. Wipe up any spilled fuel immedi-
ately.  NOTICE:  Immediately
wipe off spille d fuel with a clean,
d ry, soft cloth, since fuel may
d eteriorate painted  surfaces or
plastic parts.
 [ECA10072]
4. Be sure to securely close the fuel tank cap.
WARNING
EWA15152
Gasoline is poisonous an d can
cause injury or  death. Han dle  gaso-
line with care. Never siphon  gasoline
b y mouth. If you shoul d swallow
some  gasoline or inhale a lot of g as-
oline vapor, or g et some gasoline in
your eyes, see your  doctor imme di- ately. If g
asoline spills on your skin,
wash with soap an d water. If  gaso-
line spills on your clothin g, chan ge
your clothes.
EAU53013
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.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.

EAU15952
Read the Owner’s Manual carefully to
become familiar with all controls. If
there is a control or function you do not
understand, ask your Yamaha dealer.
WARNING

the controls can lead to loss of con-
trol, which coul d cause an acci dent
or injury.

TIPThis model is equipped with a lean an-
gle sensor to stop the engine in case of
a turnover. To start the engine after a
turnover, be sure to turn the main
switch to “OFF” and then to “ON”. Fail-
ing to do so will prevent the engine
from starting even though the engine
will crank when pushing the start
switch.

structions prior to operatin g the ve-
hicle for the first time.In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, the side-
stand must be up. See page 3-17 for more information. 1. Turn the key to “ON”. The following warning lights

Braking
WARNING
EWA17790
Avoi d b rakin g har d or su ddenly
(especially when leanin g over to
one si de), otherwise the vehicle
may skid  or overturn.
 Railroa d crossin gs, streetcar
rails, iron plates on roa d con-
struction sites, an d manhole
covers  become extremely slip-
pery when wet. Therefore, slow
d own when approachin g such
areas an d cross them with cau-
tion.
 Keep in min d that b raking on a
wet roa d is much more  difficult.
 Ride slowly d own a hill, as  brak-
in g d ownhill can b e very diffi-
cult.1. Close the throttle completely.
2. Apply both front and rear brakes simultaneously while gradually in-
creasing the pressure.
EAU16821
Tips for re ducin g fuel con-
sumptionFuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follow-
ing 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 traf-
fic lights or at railroad crossings).
EAU16831
Engine  break-inThere is never a more important period
in the life of your engine than the period
between 0 and 1000 km (600 mi). For
this reason, you should read the fol-
lowing material carefully.
Since the engine is brand new, do not
put an excessive load on it for the first
1000 km (600 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.
EAU61040
0–150 km (0–90 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above 1/3
throttle.
After every hour of operation, stop the
engine, and then let it cool for five to
ten minutes.
Vary the engine speed from time to
time. Do not operate the engine at one
set throttle position.
