Si
destand
The sidestand is located on the left side
of the frame. Raise the sidestand or
lower it with your foot while holding the
vehicle upright.
The built-in s
idestand switch is part of
the ignition circuit cut-off system,
which cuts the ignition in certain situa-
tions. (See the following section for an
explanation of the ignition circuit cut-
off system.)
EWA10242
The vehicle m
ust not be ridden with
the sidestand down, or if the side-
stand 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 sys-
tem has been designed to assist the
operator in fulfilling the responsibili-
ty of raising the sidestand before
starting off. Therefore, check this
system regularly and have a Yamaha
dealer repair i
t if it does not function
properly.

Ig
nition circuit cut-off system
This system prevents in-gear engine
starts unless the clutch lever is pulled
and the sidestand is up. Also, it will stop
the running engine should the side-
stand be lowered while the transmis-
sion is in gear.
Periodically check this system via the
following procedure.
l This c
heck is most reliable if per-
formed with a warmed-up engine.
