Ignition circuit cut-off
system
The ignition circuit cut-off system
(comprising the sidestand switch,
clutch switch and neutral switch) has
the following functions.
It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
sidestand is up, but the clutch
lever is not pulled.
It prevents starting when the
transmission is in gear and the
clutch lever is pulled, but the
sidestand is still down.
It cuts the running engine when
the transmission is in gear and
the sidestand is moved down.
Periodically check the operation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system
according to the following procedure.
TIP
This check is most reliable if perfor-
med with a warmed-up engine.

EAU15951
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.
EWA10271
Failure to familiarize yourself with
the controls can lead to loss of
control, which could cause an acci-
dent or injury.
EAU45310
TIP
This model is equipped with a lean
angle 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”. Failing to do so will prevent the
engine from starting even though the
engine will crank when pushing the
start switch.
EAUS1950
Starting the engine
In order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system to enable starting, one of the
following 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
Before starting the engine,
check the function of the igni-
tion circuit cut-off system
according to the procedure
described on page 3-20.
Never ride with the sidestand
down.
1. Turn the key to “ON” and make
sure that the engine stop switch
is set to “ ”.

ECA10260
Even with the transmission in
the neutral position, do not
coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not
tow the motorcycle for long
distances. The transmission is
properly lubricated only when
the engine is running. Inade-
quate lubrication may damage
the transmission.
Always use the clutch while
changing gears to avoid dama-
ging the engine, transmission,
and drive train, which are not
designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting.
EAU16810
Tips for reducing fuel
consumption
Fuel consumption depends largely on
your riding style. Consider the follo-
wing tips to reduce fuel consumption:
Shift up swiftly, and avoid high
engine speeds during accelera-
tion.
Do not rev the engine while shif-
ting down, and avoid high engine
speeds with no load on the engi-
ne.
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 cros-
sings).
EAU16841
Engine break-in
There 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 following 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 them-
selves to the correct operating clea-
rances. During this period, prolonged
full-throttle operation or any condition
that might result in engine overhea-
ting must be avoided.
EAU17101
0–1000 km (0–600 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
4500 r/min. NOTICE: After 1000
km (600 mi) of operation, the
engine oil must be changed,
and the oil filter element repla-
ced.
[ECA11151]
1000–1600 km (600–1000 mi)
Avoid prolonged operation above
