will flash until the differential gear is completely locked or unlocked.
 Turning the steering wheel back and forth will help the differential gear lock to engage or dis-
engage.
 To protect the drivetrain from damage, vehicle speed is limited until the differential gear lock
has properly transitioned. UB577AE0.book Page 10 Wednesday, June 8, 2016 9:35 AM

The porcelain insulator around the center
electrode of each spark plug should be a me-
dium-to-light tan color (the ideal color when
the vehicle is ridden normally), and all spark
plugs installed in the engine should have a
similar color. If any spark plug shows a dis-
tinctly different color, the engine could be op-
erating improperly. Do not attempt to
diagnose such problems yourself. Instead,
have a Yamaha dealer check the vehicle.
If a spark plug shows signs of electrode ero-
sion and excessive carbon or other deposits,
it should be replaced.
Before installing a spark plug, the spark plug
gap should be measured with a wire thick-
ness gauge and, if necessary, adjusted to
specification.Clean the surface of the spark plug gasket
and its mating surface, and then wipe off any
grime from the spark plug threads.Specified spark plug:

EBU36620Brake light switchThe brake light, which is activated by the
brake pedal, should come on just before
braking takes effect. Since the brake light
switch is a component of the YCC-S system,
it must be adjusted by a Yamaha dealer, who
has the necessary professional knowledge
and experience.EBU35930Cable inspection and lubrication
WARNING
EWB03380Damaged cables could restrict operation,
which may cause an accident or injury. In-

EBU35271Tail/brake lightThis model is equipped with an LED tail/brake
light, there are no replaceable bulbs.
If the tail/brake light does not come on, check
the fuses, and then have a Yamaha dealer
check the vehicle.EBU32700TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha vehicles receive an inspec-
tion before shipment from the factory, trouble
may occur during operation. Any problem inthe fuel, compression, or ignition systems can
cause poor starting and loss of power. The
troubleshooting chart describes a quick, easy
procedure for making checks. If your vehicle
requires any repair, take it to a Yamaha deal-
er.
The skilled technicians at a Yamaha dealer-
ship have the tools, experience, and know-
how to properly service your vehicle. Use only
genuine Yamaha parts on your vehicle. Imita-
tion parts may look like Yamaha parts, but
they are often inferior. Consequently, they
have a shorter service life and can lead to ex-
pensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWB03450When checking the fuel system, do not
smoke and make sure there are no open
flames or sparks in the area, including pilot
lights from water heaters or furnaces.

6. If storing in a humid or salt-air atmo-sphere, coat all exposed metal surfaces
with a light film of oil. Do not apply oil to
any rubber parts or the seat covers.
7. Remove the battery and charge it. Store
it in a dry place and recharge it once a
month. Do not store the battery in an ex-
cessively warm or cold place [less than 0
°C (30 °F) or more than 30 °C (90 °F)].
Use of fuel stabilizer eliminates the need to
drain the fuel system. Consult a Yamaha
dealer if the fuel system needs to be drained.UB577AE0.book Page 3 Wednesday, June 8, 2016 9:35 AM
