WARNING0
This shock absorber assembly con-
tains highly pressurized nitrogen
gas. Read and understand the fol-
lowing information before handling
the shock absorber \4assembly.
●Do not tamper with or attempt
to open the cylind\4er assembly.
●Do not subject the shock ab-
sorber assembly to an open
flame or other high heat
source. This may cause the unit
to explode due to excessive
gas pressure.
●Do not deform or damage the
cylinder in any way. Cylinder
damage will result in poor
damping performance.\4
●Do not dispose of a damaged
or worn-out shock absorber
assembly yourself. Take the
shock absorber assembly to a
Yamaha dealer for any s\4ervice.

TIP
This model is equipped with a lean an-
gle sensor to stop the engine in case
o\b a turnover. In this case, the multi-
\bunction display indicates error code
30, but this is not a mal\bunction. Turn
the key to "OFF" and then to "ON" to
clear the error code. Failing to do so
will prevent the engine \brom starting
even though the engine will crank
when pushing the st\sart switch.
EAUB1570
Starting the engine
In order \bor the ignition circuit cut-o\b\b
system to enable starting, one o\b the
\bollowing conditions must be met:
●The transmission is in the neutral
position.
●The transmission is in gear with
the clutch lever pulled and the
sidestand up.
EWA10290
\bARNING0
●Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system ac-
cording to the procedure de-
scribed on page 4-18\ .
●Never ride with the sidestand
down.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make sure that the engine stop switch is
set to “
