EAU04894
Fuel level warning light “”
This warning light comes on when the
fuel level drops below approximately
3.3 L. When this occurs, refuel as soon
as possible.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”.If the warning light does not come on
for a few seconds, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
NOTE:_ This model is also equipped with a self-
diagnosis device for the fuel level de-
tection circuit. If the fuel level detection
circuit is defective, the following cycle
will be repeated until the malfunction is
corrected: The fuel level warning light
will flash eight times, then go off for
2.5 seconds. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the motorcycle. _
EAU04895
Oil level warning light “”
This warning light comes on when the
engine oil level is low.
The electrical circuit of the warning light
can be checked by turning the key to
“ON”.
If the warning light does not come on
for a few seconds, then go off, have a
Yamaha dealer check the electrical cir-
cuit.
NOTE:_
Even if the oil level is sufficient, the
warning light may flicker when
riding on a slope or during sudden
acceleration or deceleration, but
this is not a malfunction.
This model is also equipped with a
self-diagnosis device for the oil
level detection circuit. If the oil lev-
el detection circuit is defective, the
following cycle will be repeated
until the malfunction is corrected:
The oil level warning light will flash
ten times, then go off for 2.5 sec-
onds. If this occurs, have a
Yamaha dealer check the motor-
cycle.

EXUP system This motorcycle is equipped with
Yamaha’s EXUP (EXhaust Ultimate
Power valve) system. This system
boosts engine power by means of a
valve that regulates the diameter of the
exhaust pipe. The EXUP system valve
is constantly adjusted in accordance
with the engine speed by a computer-
controlled servomotor.
EC000027
CAUTION:_
The EXUP system has been set
and extensively tested at the
Yamaha factory. Changing
these settings without sufficient
technical knowledge may result
in poor performance of or dam-
age to the engine.
If the EXUP system does not op-
erate, have a Yamaha dealer
check it.

Sidestand The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
motorcycle upright.NOTE:_ The built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See further down for an explanation of
the ignition circuit cut-off system.) _
EW000044
WARNING
_ The motorcycle must not be ridden
with the sidestand down, or if the
sidestand cannot be properly
moved up (or does not stay up), oth-
erwise the sidestand could contact
the ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss of
control. Yamaha’s ignition circuit
cut-off system has been designed to
assist the operator in fulfilling the
responsibility of raising the side-
stand before starting off. Therefore,
check this system regularly as de-
scribed below and have a Yamaha
dealer repair it if it does not function
properly. _

Ignition circuit cut-off system The ignition circuit cut-off system (com-
prising the sidestand switch, clutch
switch and neutral switch) has the fol-
lowing functions.
It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the side-
stand is up, but the clutch lever is
not pulled.
It prevents starting when the trans-
mission is in gear and the clutch
lever is pulled, but the sidestand is
still down.
It cuts the running engine when

4-PRE-OPERATION CHECKSThe condition of a vehicle is the owner’s responsibility. Vital components can start to deteriorate quickly and unexpectedly,
even if the vehicle remains unused (for example, as a result of exposure to the elements). Any damage, fluid leakage or loss
of tire air pressure could have serious consequences. Therefore, it is very important, in addition to a thorough visual inspec-
tion, to check the following points before each ride.

5-OPERATION AND IMPORTANT RIDING POINTS
EAU00373
WARNING
_
Become thoroughly familiar
with all operating controls and
their functions before riding.
Consult a Yamaha dealer re-
garding any control or function
that you do not thoroughly un-
derstand.
Never start the engine or oper-
ate it in a closed area for any
length of time. Exhaust fumes
are poisonous, and inhaling
them can cause loss of con-
sciousness and death within a
short time. Always make sure
that there is adequate ventila-
tion.
Before starting out, make sure
that the sidestand is up. If the
sidestand is not raised com-
pletely, it could contact the
ground and distract the opera-
tor, resulting in a possible loss
of control.
