Stop an d Start SystemThe Stop and Start System stops the
engine automatically when the vehicle
is stopped in order to prevent noise,
control exhaust emissions, and reduce
fuel consumption.
When the rider turns the throttle grip
slightly, the engine restarts automati-
cally and the vehicle starts off.NOTICE
ECA23961
When parkin g the vehicle or leavin g
the vehicle unatten ded , be sure to
turn the main switch off. If the Stop
an d Start System is left turne d on,
the battery could become dis- char
ged an d it may not be possi ble
to restart the en gine due to insuffi-
cient battery volta ge.
TIP Although the engine normally
stops at the same time as the ve-
hicle, there may be a delay when
operating the vehicle under 10
km/h, such as in heavy traffic.
 If you think the battery voltage is
low because the engine cannot be
started using the starter switch or
for some other reason, do not turn
on the Stop and Start System.
 Have a Yamaha dealer check the
battery at the intervals specified in
the periodic maintenance chart.

belt replacement tripmeter “V-
Belt Trip”
The V-belt replacement tripmeter
shows the distance traveled since the
V-belt was last replaced.
The V-belt replacement indicator “V-
Belt” will flash every 18000 km (10500
mi) to indicate that the V-belt should be
replaced.
After replacing the V-belt, reset the V-
belt replacement indicator and the V-
belt replacement tripmeter. To reset
them both, select the V-belt replace-
ment tripmeter, and then push the
“TRIP” switch for three seconds. While the V-belt replacement tripmeter
is flashing, push the “TRIP” switch for
15 to 20 seconds. Release the “TRIP”
switch, and the V-belt trip value will re-
set to zero.
TIPIf the V-belt is replaced before the V-
belt replacement indicator comes on
(i.e., before the periodic V-belt replace-
ment interval has been reached), the V-
belt replacement tripmeter must be re-
set for the V-belt replacement indicator
to come on at the correct time.Information

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).
EAUW4891
Parkin g When parking, turn off the Stop and
Start System and then stop the engine.
After turning off the main switch, be
sure to turn off the smart key and take
it with you.
WARNING
EWA18840
 Since the en gine an d exhaust
system can become very hot,
park in a place where pe destri-
ans or chil dren are not likely to
touch them an d b e burne d.
 Do not park on a slope or on soft
groun d, otherwise the vehicle
may overturn, increasin g the
risk of a fuel leak an d fire.
 Do not park near grass or other
flammab le materials which
mi ght catch fire.
 If the Stop an d Start System is
left turned on, the battery coul d

Trou bleshootin gAlthough Yamaha vehicles receive a
thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur
during operation. Any problem in the
fuel, compression, or ignition systems,
for example, can cause poor starting
and loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your vehicle re-
quire any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the vehicle prop-
erly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look
like Yamaha parts, but they are often
inferior, have a shorter service life and
can lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING

not smoke, an d make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-

 Is the smart key battery dis-
charged? (See page 3-6.)
 Is the smart key battery installed
correctly? (See page 3-6.)
 Is the smart key being used in a lo-
cation with strong radio waves or
other electromagnetic noise? (See
page 3-1.)
 Are you using the smart key that is
registered to the vehicle?
 Is the vehicle battery discharged?
When the vehicle battery is dis-
charged, the smart key system will
not operate. Please have the vehi-
cle battery charged or replaced.
(See page 8-26.) If the smart key system does not work
after checking the above items, have a
Yamaha dealer check the smart key system.
TIPSee Emergency mode on page 8-34
