Auxiliary DC connectorThis vehicle is equipped with an auxilia-
ry DC connector. Consult your Yamaha
dealer before installing any accesso-
ries.
EAU15306
SidestandThe sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.TIPThe built-in sidestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system, which
cuts the ignition in certain situations.
(See the following section for an expla-
nation of the ignition circuit cut-off sys-tem.)
WARNING
EWA10242
The vehicle must not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the sides-
tand cannot be properly moved up
(or does not stay up), otherwise the
sidestand could contact the ground
and distract the operator, resulting
in a possible loss of control.
Yamaha’s ignition circuit cut-off
system has been designed to assist
the operator in fulfilling the respon-
sibility of raising the sidestand be-
fore starting off. Therefore, check
this system regularly and have a Yamaha dealer repair it if it does not
function properly.

EAU15952
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.
WARNING
EWA10272

TIPThis model is equipped with:
an inertial measurement unit (IMU)
that will stop the engine in case of
turnover. In this case, turn the
main switch off (and then back on)
before attempting to restart the en-
gine. Failing to do so will prevent
the engine from starting even
though the engine will crank when
the start switch is pushed.

an engine auto-stop system. The
engine stops automatically if left
idling for 20 minutes. In this case,
simply push the start switch to re-start the engine.
EAU79303
Starting the engineIn order for the ignition circuit cut-off
system (page 4-42) 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 sid-
estand up.
To start the engine
1. Insert the key into the main switch.
2. Set the Stop/Run/Start switch to “”.
3. Turn the main switch (key) to “ON”.
4. Confirm the following warning lights and indicator lights perform a
self-check.

EAU67131
Supporting the motorcycleSince this model is not equipped with a
centerstand, use maintenance stands
when removing the front or rear wheel
or when performing other maintenance
that requires the motorcycle to stand up
right.
Check that the motorcycle is in a stable
and level position before starting any
maintenance.
EAU25872
TroubleshootingAlthough Yamaha motorcycles receive
a thorough inspection before shipment
from the factory, trouble may occur dur-
ing operation. Any problem in the fuel,
compression, or ignition systems, for
example, can cause poor starting and
loss of power.
The following troubleshooting charts
represent quick and easy procedures
for checking these vital systems your-
self. However, should your motorcycle
require any repair, take it to a Yamaha
dealer, whose skilled technicians have
the necessary tools, experience, and
know-how to service the motorcycle
properly.
Use only genuine Yamaha replace-
ment parts. Imitation parts may look like
Yamaha parts, but they are often inferi-
or, have a shorter service life and can
lead to expensive repair bills.
WARNING
EWA15142
When checking the fuel system, do
not smoke, and make sure there are
no open flames or sparks in the ar-
ea, including pilot lights from water
