TABLE OF CONTENTS
SAFETY INFORMATION
MOTORCYCLES ARE SINGLE
TRACK VEHICLES. THEIR SAFE USE
1
AND OPERATION ARE DEPENDENT
UPON THE USE OF PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES AS WELL AS THE EXPERTISE OF THE OPERATOR. EVERY OPERATOR SHOULD KNOW
THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS
BEFORE RIDING THIS MOTORCYCLE.
HE OR SHE SHOULD:
● OBTAIN THOROUGH INSTRUC-
TIONS FROM A COMPETENT
SOURCE ON ALL ASPECTS OF
MOTORCYCLE OPERATION.
● OBSERVE THE WARNINGS AND
MAINTENANCE REQUIRE-
MENTS IN THE OWNER’S MAN-
UAL.
● OBTAIN QUALIFIED TRAINING
IN SAFE AND PROPER RIDING
TECHNIQUES.
● OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL TECH-
NICAL SERVICE AS INDICATED
BY THE OWNER’S MANUAL
EAU10281
AND/OR WHEN MADE NECESSARY BY MECHANICAL CONDITIONS.
Safe riding
● Always make pre-operation
checks. Careful checks may help
prevent an accident.
● This motorcycle is designed to car-
ry the operator and a passenger.
● The failure of motorists to detect
and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of
automobile/motorcycle accidents.
Many accidents have been caused
by an automobile driver who did
not see the motorcycle. Making
yourself conspicuous appears to
be very effective in reducing the
chance of this type of accident.
Therefore:
• Wear a brightly colored jacket.
• Use extra caution when you are
approaching and passing
through intersections, since intersections are the most likely
places for motorcycle accidents
to occur.
• Ride where other motorists can
see you. Avoid riding in another
motorist’s blind spot.
● Many accidents involve inexperi-
enced operators. In fact, many operators who have been involved in
accidents do not even have a current motorcycle license.
• Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your
motorcycle to other qualified operators.
• Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
• We recommend that you practice riding your motorcycle
where there is no traffic until you
have become thoroughly familiar with the motorcycle and all of
its controls.
● Many accidents have been caused
by error of the motorcycle operator. A typical error made by the operator is veering wide on a turn
1-1
SAFETY INFORMATION
due to EXCESSIVE SPEED or undercornering (insufficient lean angle for the speed).
• Always obey the speed limit and
never travel faster than warranted by road and traffic conditions.
• Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
● The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator footrests during operation to maintain control of the motorcycle.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger footrests.
• Never carry a passenger unless
he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger footrests.
● Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
● This motorcycle is designed for on-
road use only. It is not suitable for
off-road use.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from motorcycle accidents are the result of head
injuries. The use of a safety helmet is
the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.
● Always wear an approved helmet.
● Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a
hazard.
● The use of a jacket, heavy boots,
trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in
preventing or reducing abrasions
or lacerations.
● Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers, footrests, or wheels
and cause injury or an accident.
● Never touch the engine or exhaust
system during or after operation.
They become very hot and can
cause burns. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs,
ankles, and feet.
● A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.
Modifications
Modifications made to this motorcycle
not approved by Yamaha, or the removal of original equipment, may render the motorcycle unsafe for use and
may cause severe personal injury.
Modifications may also make your
motorcycle illegal to use.
Loading and accessories
Adding accessories or cargo to your
motorcycle can adversely affect stability and handling if the weight distribution
of the motorcycle is changed. To avoid
the possibility of an accident, use extreme caution when adding cargo or
accessories to your motorcycle. Use
extra care when riding a motorcycle
that has added cargo or accessories.
Here are some general guidelines to
follow if loading cargo or adding accessories to your motorcycle:
1
1-2
SAFETY INFORMATION
Loading
The total weight of the operator, passenger, accessories and cargo must
1
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Maximum load:
185 kg (408 lb)
When loading within this weight limit,
keep the following in mind:
● Cargo and accessory weight
should be kept as low and close to
the motorcycle as possible. Make
sure to distribute the weight as
evenly as possible on both sides of
the motorcycle to minimize imbalance or instability.
● Shifting weights can create a sud-
den imbalance. Make sure that accessories and cargo are securely
attached to the motorcycle before
riding. Check accessory mounts
and cargo restraints frequently.
● Never attach any large or heavy
items to the handlebar, front fork,
or front fender. These items, including such cargo as sleeping
bags, duffel bags, or tents, can
create unstable handling or a slow
steering response.
Accessories
Genuine Yamaha accessories have
been specifically designed for use on
this motorcycle. Since Yamaha cannot
test all other accessories that may be
available, you must personally be responsible for the proper selection, installation and use of non-Yamaha
accessories. Use extreme caution
when selecting and installing any accessories.
Keep the following guidelines in mind,
as well as those provided under “Load-
ing” when mounting accessories.
● Never install accessories or carry
cargo that would impair the perfor-
mance of your motorcycle. Care-
fully inspect the accessory before
using it to make sure that it does
not in any way reduce ground
clearance or cornering clearance,
limit suspension travel, steering
travel or control operation, or obscure lights or reflectors.
• Accessories fitted to the handlebar or the front fork area can
create instability due to improper
weight distribution or aerodynamic changes. If accessories
are added to the handlebar or
front fork area, they must be as
lightweight as possible and
should be kept to a minimum.
• Bulky or large accessories may
seriously affect the stability of
the motorcycle due to aerodynamic effects. Wind may attempt to lift the motorcycle, or
the motorcycle may become unstable in cross winds. These accessories may also cause
instability when passing or being
passed by large vehicles.
• Certain accessories can displace the operator from his or
her normal riding position. This
improper position limits the freedom of movement of the opera-
1-3
SAFETY INFORMATION
tor and may limit control ability,
therefore, such accessories are
not recommended.
● Use caution when adding electri-
cal accessories. If electrical accessories exceed the capacity of the
motorcycle’s electrical system, an
electric failure could result, which
could cause a dangerous loss of
lights or engine power.
Gasoline and exhaust gas
● GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMA-
BLE:
• Always turn the engine off when
refueling.
• Take care not to spill any gasoline on the engine or exhaust
system when refueling.
• Never refuel while smoking or in
the vicinity of an open flame.
● Never start the engine or let it run
for any length of time in a closed
area. The exhaust fumes are poisonous and may cause loss of
consciousness and death within a
short time. Always operate your
motorcycle in an area that has adequate ventilation.
● Always turn the engine off before
leaving the motorcycle unattended
and remove the key from the main
switch. When parking the motorcycle, note the following:
• The engine and exhaust system
may be hot, therefore, park the
motorcycle in a place where pedestrians or children are not likely to touch these hot areas.
• Do not park the motorcycle on a
slope or soft ground, otherwise it
may fall over.
• Do not park the motorcycle near
a flammable source, (e.g., a kerosene heater, or near an open
flame), otherwise it could catch
fire.
● When transporting the motorcycle
in another vehicle, make sure that
it is kept upright. If the motorcycle
should lean over, gasoline may
leak out of the fuel tank.
● If you should swallow any gaso-
line, inhale a lot of gasoline vapor,
or allow gasoline to get into your
eyes, see your doctor immediately.
If any gasoline spills on your skin
1-4
or clothing, immediately wash the
affected area with soap and water
and change your clothes.

Immobilizer system
1. Code re-registering key (red bow)
2. Standard keys (black bow)
This vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by
re-registering codes in the standard
keys. This system consists of the following.
● a code re-registering key (with a
red bow)
● two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered with
new codes
● a transponder (which is installed in
the code re-registering key)
● an immobilizer unit
● an ECU
● an immobilizer system indicator
light (See page 3-3.)
The key with the red bow is used to register codes in each standard key. Since
re-registering is a difficult process, take
the vehicle along with all three keys to
a Yamaha dealer to have them re-registered. Do not use the key with the red
bow for driving. It should only be used
for re-registering the standard keys. Always use a standard key for driving.
ECA11820
CAUTION:
● DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT
YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY
IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-
istering key is lost, registering
new codes in the standard keys
is impossible. The standard
keys can still be used to start
the vehicle, however if code re-
registering is required (i.e., if a
new standard key is made or all
keys are lost) the entire immobi-
lizer system must be replaced.
Therefore, it is highly recom-
mended to use either standard
key and keep the code re-registering key in a safe place.
● Do not submerse any key in wa-
ter.
● Do not expose any key to exces-
sively high temperatures.
● Do not place any key close to
magnets (this includes, but not
limited to, products such as
speakers, etc.).
● Do not place heavy items on any
key.
● Do not grind any key or alter its
shape.
● Do not disassemble the plastic
part of any key.
● Do not put two keys of any im-
mobilizer system on the same
key ring.
● Keep the standard keys as well
as keys of other immobilizer
systems away from this vehicle’s code re-registering key.
● Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main switch
as they may cause signal interference.

1. Fuel meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
fuel meter indicates the amount of fuel
in the fuel tank. When the key is turned
to “ON”, all of the display segments of
the fuel meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circuit. The display
segments of the fuel meter disappear
towards “E” (Empty) as the fuel level
decreases. When only one segment is
left near “E” (Empty), refuel as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
This fuel meter is equipped with a selfdiagnosis system. If the electrical circuit
is defective, the following cycle will be
repeated until the malfunction is corrected: the display segments, except
the “F” (Full) and “E” (Empty) segments, will flash eight times and then
go off for 3 seconds. If this occurs, have
a Yamaha dealer check the electrical
circuit.
Coolant temperature meter
1. Coolant temperature meter
With the key in the “ON” position, the
coolant temperature meter indicates
the temperature of the coolant. When
the key is turned to “ON”, all of the display segments of the coolant temperature meter will appear one after the
other and then disappear in order to
test the electrical circuit. The coolant
temperature varies with changes in the
weather and engine load. If the top segment flashes, stop the vehicle and let
the engine cool. (See page 6-37.)
NOTE:
This coolant temperature meter is
equipped with a self-diagnosis system.
If the electrical circuit is defective, the
following cycle will be repeated until the
malfunction is corrected: the display
segments, except the “H” (High) and “L”
(Low) segments, will flash eight times
and then go off for 3 seconds. If this occurs, have a Yamaha dealer check the
electrical circuit.

INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS
If any of those circuits are defective, the
engine trouble warning light will come
on, and then the multi-function display
will indicate a two-digit error code.
This model is also equipped with a selfdiagnosis device for the immobilizer
system.
If any of the immobilizer system circuits
are defective, the immobilizer system
indicator light will flash, and then the
multi-function display will indicate a
two-digit error code.
NOTE:
If the multi-function display indicates error code 52 (all segments of the coolant
temperature meter will come on, except
the top segment, which will flash), this
could be caused by transponder interference. If this error appears, try the following.
1. Error code display
1. Use the code re-registering key to
start the engine.
NOTE:
Make sure there are no other immobilizer keys close to the main switch, and
do not keep more than one immobilizer
key on the same key ring! Immobilizer
system keys may cause signal interference, which may prevent the engine
from starting.
2. If the engine starts, turn it off, and
try starting the engine with the
standard keys.
3. If one or both of the standard keys
do not start the engine, take the
vehicle, the code re-registering
key and both standard keys to a
Yamaha dealer and have the stan-
dard keys re-registered.
If the multi-function display indicates
any error code, note the code number,
and then have a Yamaha dealer check
the vehicle.

ABS
The Yamaha ABS (Anti-lock Brake
System) features a dual electronic control system, which acts on the front and
rear brakes independently. The ABS is
monitored by an ECU (Electronic Control Unit), which will have recourse to
manual braking if a malfunction occurs.
EWA10090
WARNING
● The ABS performs best on long
braking distances.
● On certain (rough or gravel)
roads, the braking distance may
be longer with than without the
ABS. Therefore, always keep a
sufficient distance to the vehicle
ahead to match the riding
speed.
NOTE:
● When the ABS is activated, the
brakes are operated in the usual
way. A pulsating action may be felt
at the brake lever or brake pedal,
but this does not indicate a malfunction.
● This ABS has a test mode which
allows the owner to experience the
pulsating at the brake lever or
brake pedal when the ABS is operating. However, special tools are
required, so please consult your
Yamaha dealer when performing
this test.
