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

Malfunction in dicator li ght
(MIL) “ ”
This light comes on or flashes if a prob-
lem is detected in the engine or other
vehicle control system. If this occurs,
have a Yamaha dealer check the on-
board diagnostic system. The electri-
cal circuit of the warning light can be
checked by turning the vehicle power
on. The light should come on for a few
seconds, and then go off. If the light
does not come on initially when the ve-
hicle power is turned on, or if the light
remains on, have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.NOTICE

If the MIL starts flashin g, re duce en-
g ine spee d to prevent exhaust sys-
tem damag e.
TIPThe engine is sensitively monitored by
the on-board diagnostic system to de-
tect deterioration and malfunction of
the emission control system. Therefore
the MIL may come on or flash due to
vehicle modifications, lack of mainte-
nance, or excessive/improper use of
the vehicle. To prevent this, observe
these precautions.
 Do not attempt to modify the soft-
ware of the engine control unit.
 Do not add any electrical acces-
sories that interfere with engine
control.
 Do not use aftermarket accesso-
ries or parts such as suspension,
spark plugs, injectors, exhaust
system, etc.
 Do not change the drivetrain
specifications (chain, sprockets,
wheels, tires, etc.).
 Do not remove or alter the O2 sen-
sor, air induction system, or ex-
haust parts (catalysts or EXUP,
etc.).
 Maintain V-belt and drive belt (if
equipped) properly.
