This motorcycle must not be oper-
ated with the sidestand in the
down position. If the stand is not
properly retracted, it could contact
the ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss of
control. Yamaha has designed into
this motorcycle a lockout system
to assist the operator in fulfilling
the responsibility of retracting the
sidestand. Please check carefully
the operating instructions listed
below and if there is any indication
of a malfunction, return the motor-
cycle to a Yamaha dealer immedi-
ately for repair.

8Before riding this motorcycle,
become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions. Consult a
Yamaha dealer regarding any
control or function that you do
not thoroughly understand.
8Never start your engine or let
it run for any length of time in
a closed area. The exhaust
fumes are poisonous and can
cause loss of consciousness
and death within a short time.
Always operate your motorcy-
cle in an area with adequate
ventilation.
8Before starting out, always be
sure the sidestand is up.
Failure to retract the sidestand
completely can result in a seri-
ous accident when you try to
turn a corner.

EAU00423Shifting
The transmission lets you control
the amount of power you have
available at a given speed for start-
ing, accelerating, climbing hills,
etc. The use of the shift pedal is
shown in the illustration.
To shift into neutral, depress the
shift pedal repeatedly until it reach-
es the end of its travel, then raise
the pedal slightly.

8Do not coast for long periods
with the engine off, and do
not tow the motorcycle a long
distance. Even with gears in
neutral, the transmission is
only properly lubricated when
the engine is running.
Inadequate lubrication may
damage the transmission.
8Always use the clutch when
changing gears. The engine,
transmission, and driveline are
not designed to withstand the
shock of forced shifting and
can be damaged by shifting
without using the clutch.
